We've no chance of making the 5 were too far behind at this stage, i’ll be happy just to he safe.

What is annoying is those close games 3 spring to mind, London, Wigan and Hull FC, win them and were in the mix for 2nd spot never mind 5th!

I believe the squad were underachieving early this season and we could be easily in top 5. Clarke said we looked like a top 5 side now.

Can you imagine if we did it again. Other than Saints everyone else is beatable and we have a great record against Saints in Grand Finals, they could bottle it. Getting to 5th is going to be tricky, we certainly need to win all our remaining games to stand a chance.

What the hell are you talking about? Were not making 5th.

I agree ,but remember 2011 and 2012 we finished 5th and then what happened?

Its surely not even mathematically possible as the teams above us have to play each other and therefore have to pick up points along the way.

Lose Thursday and he will be flapping were going to relegated ffs.

I think it is mathematically possible as I dont think catalan or Castleford play each other, so if they both lose all their remaining games, same for Salford and we win all ours we make 5th - it’s utter fantasy land though and isn’t going to happen

Even if by some miracle it did, there's zero evidence we have a team good enough to negotiate play offs and a grand final.
Yes, we did it a couple of times before but with a nucleus that had already won multiple grand finals. We're currently watching a side that seems to have just enough about it to avoid relegation with a game or two to spare.

That said, I do hold a modicum of optimism for next year.

I agree, part of me actually wants Saints to play a full strong side on Thursday as it will be a good test of where we actually are.
