Nice work RER - but you've basically ended up agreeing with me. Six wins or less won't do it, but seven most likely would. You have us in 9th, right? And if all your predictions come off except we beat Wigan at home, that would put us on 27 points, ahead of them and Wakey.

Let me reiterate that my point isn't that we will make the play-offs, just that it is more up-for-grabs than people seem to think. Every game's a cup final till we've lost three...

We play better away from home and after the defeat against the Dragons eight days ago we have someting to prove.

Well, given that the only team between us and the play offs to lose so far this weekend is hull there's even more presure on Bradford to get a result this afternoon

Well, how do folks think we'll get on?

I reckon this is a must win, and we will win by 20 points at least

It could depend on who plays at centre. If we`re back to a defensive combination of Sykes and Sheriffe on the right hand side it will most likely mean we`ll have to score at least ten points more to win than if Beaver plays no. 3. If not we need to hope that Rikki defends like he did at Warrington and not like on too many other occasions this season. Oh for a defender like Scott Naylor.

I'm pretty confident of a win today.

I'm backing us to reach the play offs. Lets hope we start to play some good rugby on the way too.

After a good start Cas have won only 1 in their last 7 games, given that they are a rival for a place in the almighty top 8, and the fact that Wigan, Wire and the Dragons have all won this weekend it's a must win and we should be looking to easily cover the 8 point handicap with the bookies as well..

I've had the feeling all week that one team is in for a drubbing today.

Hopefully we'll be dishing it out, after 2 or 3 convincing displays in the last few weeks.

Doesn't matter because we'll win all our remaining matches just watch.

A lot has been made of the 50% record will take us in to the play offs.

Here's a breakdown of what all the other teams bar Saints and Leeds need to hit 50%.

New wins in bold

Hull KR = 2 Wins needed
Left to play
Catalans, Bradford, Leeds, Hull FC, Castleford, Saints, Salford, Warrington, Wakefield

Don't think you should be bolding our name. We've beat First Second and Fourth place lets make it third aswell
And I'm sure We've still got to play Wakefield at home
