The weekend so far : Sat Aug 01, 2009 9:08 pm  

has gone in our favour

Hull vs Hudds 0-24
Leeds vs Wire 24-22

only Les Cats womping Celtic 34-0 has gone against us

But provided we get the required result tomorrow we could still just miss out on the play-offs by a few points

Not bad, got wasted last night, tried to recover today and I think I'm getting swine flu.

No, in all seriousness. Fairly decent, we gotta beat quins tomorrow though.

If we can win the next two (touch wood) that will leave us in a position where if we can get 3 wins out of Hudds away, catalans home, salford home and Hull away and Warrington lose against Hull KR and Wigan we'd only miss out on the playoffs by a point.

TBH at the moment I don't care about the playoffs, I just want to see us at least win all 3 remaining home games, Quins, Catalan, Salford - no reason we cant aim for this and give some enjoyment and hope for next season to our home support.

I'll worry about the playoff miracle of 2009 at the start of Sept if I need to.

That would be the most irritating outcome of all imo.
I'd rather it become mathematically impossible with a few matches of the season still remaining so that we would have the opportunity to test out a few younger players.

If we go into the final weekend of the season with the playoffs still being a possibility then macca will never have the guts to drop anyone.

If we go into the final weekend of the season with the playoffs still being a possibility, and come out of the weekend with a place secured, then those who wished for Macca to drop players may be less sure?

Bear in mind that for the playoffs to remain mathematically possible we effectively have to win every game from now, so if/when we drop one then the situation will likely change significantly?

You may question Macca's judgement but never his guts,
