I would say 4 points

Salford and Bradford Home, but then?

: Sun Jul 26, 2009 3:30 pm  

I'd say wins at Bradford home, Salford home & Hull away.

6 from 12. Not enough for the 8

: Sun Jul 26, 2009 3:47 pm  

Wigan(24): Saints A, Warrington H, Castleford A, Hull H, Huddersfield A - Final 30 points

Wakefield(22): Salford A, Celtic H, Warrington A, Catalans A, Hull KR H - Final 28

Castleford(24*): Hull KR H, Leeds A, Wigan H, Quins A, Celtic H - Final 28

Warrington(20): Leeds A, Wigan A, Wakefield H, Hull KR A, Quins H - Final 24

Catalans(18 ): Celtic H, Hull H, Bradford A, Wakefield H, Saints A - Final 24

Hull(18 ): Huddersfield H, Catalans A, Quins H, Wigan A, Bradford H - Final 20

*Based on todays result staying how it is now

Actually, if we were to pick up six that IS enough for the 8.

Here's hoping!

I honesty think we will win at odslum, but we can not perform at home and think we will fall short at the stoop the week after.

Bradford (A) - Win +12
Bradford (H) - Loss -4
Salford (H) - Win +18
Hull FC (A) - Win +8
Castleford (H) - Win +10
Warrington (A) - Loss -14

4 wins out of 6! 8 points

If we've won the first three I see no reason why we can't use the momentum and confidence gained to win the last three as well.

All those games are very winnable, especially once Howell, Orr, Randall & Purdham are back in the starting line up. Warrington looks the toughest test, but by that stage the game could be irrelevant in terms of qualifying for play-offs, they might rest players etc. (I recall a fairly comfortable win over Salford on the final day of the season a few years back when they'd already secured their play-off place.)

The imponderables are:

1) Can we put behind us the shocking display in the first half yesterday, when heads just seemed to go down after Saints' second try, and regain the spark and confidence that seems to have been missing from our attacking play of late?

2) Can we avoid any more bad luck with injuries to our best players?

We've never won six SL games on the spin and we're always liable to slip up when everyone least expects it, but 10 points from 12 isn't an outlandish possibility IMO.

We've got a decent record at the KC so, given that, only the Warrington game is theoretically beyond us.

4 points.

One win over Bradford and we'll beat Salford. Can't see us winning any of the others.

Im not totally convinced about the Bradford game at the Stoop but Im praying that BM will have got the mindset changed by then and they start to play like they can.
The Cas game will be 'The Big One' for both teams so I expect them to bring a few. Should be some atmosphere

Next week is massive. Beat Bradford at their place, & the return the week after should be a foregone conclusion. We can then scoot on & get a few results.
Lose to Bradford at their place & we are in for a real dogfight!!
