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.

Spot on.


Plus McShane might have been grinning but he was probably our best player last night. There's no logic is us losing on purpose, we had a fantastic opportunity to not only grab 2nd but make it nailed on that we'd get 4th. Huddersfield were the best side I've seen down the lane this year maybe bar saints.

I don't think for one minute Cas threw that game especially with a chance of going 2nd.
I actually thought that despite the loss of Hardaker Cas might have learnt a lesson in how to win big games.
But once again they seem to bottle it when a big game comes around.
Maybe they are the new St Helens.
On the other hand they have a better chance than us getting to OT this year!

Jeez likely to be confirmed lower 8s with a game to spare, can things get worse?

Re: Top 8 or middle 8 : Sat Jul 21, 2018 3:39 pm  

Only if Wakey beat Hull on Sunday which i'm sure they will.
If Hull win and Huddersfield beat Wakey all we have to do is beat Salford away.
I'm sure Catalans will secure their place in the top 8 tonight.

Of course they can. Let's hope they don't

Wakefield will beat Hull FC tomorrow putting us out of our misery.We don't deserve to be in the top 8. The players haven't performed this season full stop. Supporters talking about last night's fantastic game, come on, we beat the bottom side in the league. Two teams with the poorest form.
Two weeks to go and the season will be dead and buried. Anyone who honestly believes we will win the semi-final needs to book a visit to the nearest head shrink.

Where has anyone ne called last nights game fantastic ? It was a step in the right direction, if we end up in tbr middle 8s thats where we deserve to be, but we do look better and i feel we’ll be fine in the middle 8s. We did have a chance of winning the semifinal i hope we do i get the feeling you hope we don’t

If you are in the middle eights I would forecast the top 4 positions as being filled by Leeds Toronto Hull K.R. and Toulouse with Toulouse winning the million pound match. Salford and Widnes on their performances in the last 2 days are done for.

I also think Toronto and Toulouse will come up. I think that comp will be much tougher than some realise, and hope we get it together now before we face it.
