How many games do you need to play to qualify for the top 6?

Last year it was 15. Suspect it will be higher more like 20 this year.

18 I think

Re: 4th place : Fri Jul 30, 2021 12:31 pm  

HKR have currently played 11 games, so if the benchmark is 18 they need to complete 7 more. Could be a big ask with the number of postponements flying around...

I'd now be quite surprised if we don't make the top 6, question is in which position...

The current table says we’re in 7th on 16 points, but 6th placed Hull KR only have 12 points and 5th placed Hull FC 15 points. So in old money we are up to 5th.

So if you produce a league table on a completely different basis to the one actually being used, we move up. Well that's really useful

Next 2 games are big ones to get us in position. Although I've said lots of times that my main ambition is for next season, if we can make the play-offs this year it's quite open. I do feel on our day we have nobody to fear in this league.

Agree 100%. The frequency at which we're on our day needs to keep improving. But that seems to be happening, touch wood

Indeed it’s so much more enjoyable watching the team this year mainly because i know they’re putting their all into every game

Intriguingly our last regular season game is hull kr. In a 6th v 7th scenario there'd be conspiracy theories galore if we scratched to leave them one game short. And just as many if they did having played the required number.
