2018 | The Final 5. : Thu Jun 21, 2018 11:08 am  

6. Wakefield (16 & +24) - WID H, STH A, CAT H, LEE A, HFC H, HUD A.
7. Leeds (15 & -34) - WIG A, CAS A, WAK H, WID H, SAL A.
8. Huddersfield (15 & -220) - HKR A, HFC H, WIG H, CAS A, WAK H.
9. Catalans (14 & -117) - CAS H, WAK A, WAR A, SAL H, WIG A.
10. Salford (12 & -131) - WAR A, HKR A, CAS H, CAT A, LEE H.

Going to be a very tough task to stay out of that bottom four. Eight losses in ten games and they were only slight wins too.

They were also only slight losses.

FWIW I think we will avoid the middle 8s but only just. I think we will beat Wakefield, widnes and salford which should just keep is in the top 8.

The Challenge Cup could be a major distraction though

Fair comment, actually looking at those fixtures we still have to be in the box seat to finish in the 8 but Wakey are no gimme, we have just lost to two sides that are weaker and they will be up for us no doubt as they always are at headingley.

I would say the winning post is the magic 20 points - as in previous years tables for a top 8

Based on the below we will finish 9th

Leeds - POINTS 15 + 2 = 17
Wigan A - LOSS
Castleford A - LOSS
Wakefield H - LOSS
Widnes H - WIN
Salford A - LOSS ?

Catalans POINTS 14 + 4 = 18
Castleford H - LOSS
Wakefield A - WIN
WarringtonA - LOSS
Salford H - WIN
Wigan A - LOSS


Huddersfield - POINTS 15 + 4 = 19
Hull KR A - WIN
Hull H - LOSS
Wigan H - LOSS
Castleford A - LOSS
Wakefield H - WIN


Salford POINTS 12 + 2 = 14
WarringtonA - LOSS
Hull KR A - LOSS
Castleford H - LOSS
Catalans A - LOSS
Leeds H - WIN

If Homer is right, we need to win at Salford to make it into the Top 8. I'd back us to do that.

If we can get Myler and Ward back (and maybe Singleton) I can see us winning at least 3 of the 5. the below side is easily god enough to win the majority of them.

Walker
Briscoe
Handley
Sutcliffe
Hall
Moon
Myler
Garbutt
Parcell
Singleton
Ward
Ferres
Cuthbertson

Oledski
Dwyer/Goulding
Mullally
Peteru/Delaney

that side ought to be pushing for top 4. But it's not played on paper.

Had we been able to have that side out more regularly I think we would be in the top 4
