Remaining games : Sat May 27, 2017 10:10 am  

Tough set of fixtures coming up now - I know we have the ability and mentality to get some good results but gonna be a tough ask to mine many points from this lot...

Wigan (a)
Salford (a)
Leeds (h)
Hull (a)
Wire (h)
Cas (h)
Widnes (a)
Saints (h)

They will all be tough games, but if we can beat Leeds, Wire and Saints at home, then we only need say Widnes away and our usual 2 points from the KC and we could be looking at top 4!

Without getting giddy you would say there's prob 3 wins max there, which should be enough to secure a top
8 place again this season.

This team do have great ability and team spirit though so who knows?

A win at Wigan Monday and you never know ...

All the games now are against remainder of the current top 8.

It's all in our own hands, as every game is a kind of 4-pointer.

Look at it the other way around

Other than Leeds and Cas away , they should have been the only losses this season.

Wire we blew ourselves.
the others were so close and other factors tipped the balance.

So all in all you can say only two genuine defeats, we could have been top!!!!

And on the flip side a different bounce if the ball and we could have lost to Salford, Hudds last night, Leigh & Saints. All 4 point wins or less so we could have been facing a bottom 4 battle! Its all if my auntie had balls she'd be my uncle, i think where we are is pretty much much right. It's that close this this year, the top teams aren't as dominant and most of the sides below competitive. I'd expect us to get a top 6 finish from here but i wouldn't put the house on it being two or three places either way!

I totally agree Dave, the so called experts have been waiting for the bubble to burst all season, I wonder why it hasn't yet? Could it be that Wakefield Trinity are a really good team? Absolutely loving it and I totally agree with what Chris Chester said last week, we are looking up not down, and why not, we have nothing to fear from anybody. It's a tough ask week in week out we all know that, but it's the same for everybody else. We have a good squad now boosted with the addition of Walker, that should help too as the season progresses. Bring on Wigan!

Well if you look at our fixtures you could double them up because it looks like all bar Widnes will be top 8 so the fighting for points starts now
