We need 28 points for the play offs IMO. Any more than that will get Us maybe a home tie. Next 3 games are massive if We can nick 4 points I will be well happy, but would settle for 2.

We can (and I think will) make the play-offs. We will need to win all the matches against teams below us in the league and pick up some points against the big boys, but I think we can do it.

Win next week i reckon, hudds will come over confident and hopefully the boys will be hurting after getting spanked by the pies
Cats
hard to call, they have been pretty up and down so who knows, we aint done that well on tv tho so!!

saints hmmmm well i think we all know how thats gonna end up, altho after em getting beat by Salford and fact they were held to 4-0 at celtic, they can turn up cold and can be turned over sooo who knows

i reckon we will make the 8 but bottom end rather than top 4 or 5

I think one or two of the teams already in the play-offs who are not usually there will drop out. Wakey, Hudds, Hull KR and Quins, I am pretty sure some of them will not be in the play-offs and on recent form I think Quins could be one of them. Ourselves, Warrington and Bradford and maybe even Catalans are likely to be able to catch up. I personally hope Quins stay in the play-offs as if you could finish 5th you would get a home game against a big club on sky and it would really advertise your club.

IMO Quins have got it right on the field now, they compete very well every year. The only thing left for Quins to do is get bums on seats.

No, IMO. Team is going backwards massively. With Howell banned I would imagine for the next 1-2 games, we have even fewer attacking threats than before. Even though he's a rubbish 6, the lack of Luke Dorn is a threat lost too. No organisation on the pitch, no captain, no leader, a complete mess at the moment. Over to you B McD.

R u serious?

Your Dorn obsession is pathetic, he isnt Hill so he is criticised. He plays and he is criticised, and then he is injured and he is criticised>

suspect Howell will get 3-6 not 1-2.

KEEP THE FAITH, STOP BEING SO F****** NEGATIVE

Can you not read? Idiot.

I pointed out we are MISSING Dorn.

And yet again someone who can't accept a realistic opinion

Last time I got criticised for not "keeping the faith" and making a negative prediction, it happened. I expected us to lose to Wigan too. Was I wrong to do that as well? What should have I have posted? I fully expected a heavy scoreline at the JJB in our favour?

OK, I expect us to finish top of the ladder. In fact, I guarantee it and refuse to hear anything otherwise.

Yes we can make the play-offs, and with a bit of luck even finish fourth, so to the pessimists.

I think we need to target 5 games: Salford, Cas & Bulls home and Hull and Bulls away. With a little luck we can win this lot, barring any further injuries, 30 points may get us in the mix for the top four. Any other points will be a bonus, but I can't see us winning any of the others. If heads go down + injuries we could lose the lot..........who would be a RL coach or a fan?

Its the injuries that i fear the most. We need our main players on the park. Thats what did us last season. We have more depth this season, but its still not eough
