Looking at the run in...

York - Bulls (h), Barrow (a), Toronto (a), Fev (h), Leigh (a), Halifax (a)

Toulouse - Sheffield (h), Halifax (a), Widnes (a), Batley (h), Dewsbury (h), Fev (a)

Leigh - Batley (h), Swinton (h), Rochdale (a), Widnes (h), York (h), Toronto (a)

Fev - Rochdale (h), Dewsbury (a), Swinton (h), York (a), Batley (a), Toulouse (h)

Bulls - York (a), Toronto (h), Barrow (a), Dewsbury (a), Sheffield (h), Rochdale (a)

Sheffield - Toulouse (a), Widnes (h), Halifax (a), Barrow (h), Bulls (a), Swinton (a)

I think York should be able to get a couple more wins (Barrow & Halifax) for certain. Of the rest I think they will lose against Toronto and Leigh. The rest are too close to call. Gut says they will get 4 wins and end up on 35pts.

Toulouse have one of the easiest run ins and I think they will win them all except Fev... 38pts

Leigh have strengthened and like Toulouse I think they will get five wins from six, losing at Toronto. 38pts

Fev will depend on who they get to kept after the Duel Reg deadline closes. I cant see Leeds letting their players go out on loan for the remainder of season but think they would be good for another three wins (Rochdale, Dewsbury, Batley)... 32pts

Bulls should win the last four games but have struggled in the past in Cumbria and at Dewsbury. Going to guess at three wins from six (Barrow, Sheffield & Rochdale)... 31pts

Sheffield will run out of steam and I think will win two from the next six (Widnes & Barrow)... 28pts

Toronto - ???
Toulouse - 38pts
Leigh - 38pts
York - 35pts
Fev - 32pts
Bulls - 31pts
Sheffield - 28pts

In the end I don't think the Swinton game will cost us as I cannot see the rest of the pack slipping up enough for it to matter.

What's the point of even being in the Top 5 if we cannot beat a Dewsbury team who look a decent bet to be relegated this season?

Nothing to do with current league tables. Dewsbury always up their game against us, especially at their place.

If we get a slack referee (heaven forbid that would ever happen) and they go hunting for heads (which usually happens) then its a tough place to get the two points.
