White flag waving surrender Monkeys away. This will be a high scoring game and as usual, close. We need to get on top quick and shut the crowd up, but I think the 2 points will be ours.
St Helens at home. Nil PointsBulls away: The next 2 are season defining games IMO. 4 points from this and we will make the 8.....but even 1 loss and it will be a real battle to stay in touch. They seem to be getting a bit of confidence back, but losing to Cas in a 78 point thriller might just work against them. Alas, they will have played Celtic the week before us and unless the welsh can do the double over them, they will be on their uppers.
Bulls at home. See above. 4 pointsSalford at Home. We should have too much for them, but after beating Saints, they will be looking for consistancy. They have fixtures against teams they will think they can beat in the run up to the game at TW2, but if they only get 2 points from the possible 10, then their season will be over and they will be there for the taking.
2 pointsFC away. Like Salford, the result of this one will be determined in some way to their results running up to this. I can see them only getting 2 points from 12 before this one and therefore, their season will be over and we should have too much for them.
2 pointsCastleford at TW2: Tough one to call as I believe they will still be in the mix for the play offs and this game may well the tie of the round (ie...on SLYTV). I think we will need to win 1 of our last 2 to be sure of a home tie in the play-offs and that will be enough for us.
2 pointsWire away: Sad to say, I can see a certain amount of revenge being dished out to us in this. They are a diferent team to the one we hammered earlier in the season and will have too much all over the park for us.

So....half way to the 4 points needed and the lads need to remain focused on the job in hand. Bradfords season is now over and that makes them dangerous as they will be pressure free so we need to play "our" game from the off on Saturday! Lots of people backing us to beat Castleford in a few weeks on the VT, but I am not so sure, so 2 points is a must on Saturday!
Oh dear.........2 points dropped. We now need 3 wins minimum and our home form seems to be non existant.
Salford is now everything. Lose and that's it, but win, carry some form up to the KC and who knows?
Castleford (if we can manage 4 points prior to their visit) have 2 tough games prior to visiting us and if they don't get any points from Leeds or Wigan, I can see this being on SLY TV as it will be a play-off decider.
Wire? Let's hope we don't have to win to be sure of a play-off place. Keeping the faith, but the players have to step up now. We have 3, possibly 4 cup finals over the next 4 weeks!
