Cas was beaten by a better team. The current form team in the comp. Don’t flatter yourself that Cas would rather see you in the bottom 8 than go second after hudds left the door open by beating Wigan too.
As for the idea of allowing wakey to win next week- absolutely no chance- we are more bothered about finishing 5th than what happens to you. FWIW I’d rather see you in the top 8 than wakey.

So yòu reckon hull tried really hard today as well, looks like you totally misjudged other sides hatred of Leeds, the
Ines of Hull Wakey and especially Cas are far more happy for Leeds to fail than themselves to win. Hull needed to win to stay in touch for 4th spot, bent over and took it up the **** just to spite Leeds.
But like I said we have put ourselves in this position, McDermott should have gone months ago.

So with the qualifiers now confirmed with the four super league teams unable to move we will have four homes games. However the championship goes down to the wire, with:
2. Toulouse 31 +436 - Dewsbury H
3. London 31 +418 - Barrow A
4. Halifax 31 +195 - Rochdale H
5. Featherstone 30 +381 - Toronto A
6. Leigh 30 +317 - Sheffield H

I would think that the top four teams will all win their games and stay how they are. Means we will:
H - Hull KR, Salford, London, Toronto.
A - Widnes, Toulouse, Halifax.

We'll always enjoyed a trip to Halifax, miss them not being in the top flight.

Re: Top 8 or middle 8 : Sun Jul 22, 2018 4:20 pm  

An away day in Halifax! It's been too long. I hope it's a Saturday afternoon.

Also, barring a lottery win, I'll not be going to Toulose, so another cheap set of fixtures, with only Widnes really stretching the coffers

What does worry me is if (big IF, I know) we get to Wembley. Even in 2015, it proved to be a massive distraction and affected our form very badly.

Cas bending over against Huddersfield, just to deliberately spite us. Hopefully Hulls need of a win to stay in contention will ensure they don't roll over against wakefield tomorrow, but reckon Huddersfield will allow Wakey to beat them next week.
But it's our own fault 3 points from last 24 available as put us in this position.

aye its a conspiracy to keep the 'champions' leeds down where they belong

Hopefully we will be safe by the time the Cup Final comes along

I think Leigh will be a bigger threat than Toulouse in middle 8s. Today's Championship results will give a good indication of who will make the 4.

Leigh are now almost certain not to be in the top 4

We are not in the qualifiers because Hull failed to turn up. We are rightly in the bottom four because for much of the season we failed to turn up, notably Just ove a week ago.
