By my maths if we beat Leigh we are in SL next season.

Leigh wouldn't be able to catch us and Catalans, even if they win all their games have a -26 points difference compared to our +58. That's 84 points which won't be overcome in 2 games so we could not finish below 3rd.

Happy days - do you think there will be a big celebration at the HJ if we win?

I believe there is a trophy on offer for such an achievement....an aluminium tray off a meat & potato pie !

Stop being so negative... there's always next year for 8th place. You can't be out of he bottom four every year.

Mark my words, one day a rich benefactor will come in with an open cheque book and then we'll sign some international class players and easily win Super League. The other clubs won't be laughing then.

careful on the PD. Yes its "84 + what ever we beat leigh" by BUT catalan have 3 games to score "+84+leigh dif" and some of that difference could be made up by what we get beat by V featherstone & Hull KR. Stranger things have happened


Beat Leigh and :-
Leigh will not be able to catch us.
Catalan would have to win all games including Widnes & Hull KR or they cant catch us.
If Catalan beat Widnes, then Widnes would have had to have won their other 2 games including Hull KR or they cant catch us.
Lose to Catalan & Widnes and Hull KR would then have to beat us at the HJ or they wont catch us.
and all this assume we lose our game against featherstone.
THEN points difference would come into play.

Best results would be we beat Leigh and Hull KR beat Widnes then its mathematically safe.

Nothing to celebrate, it's embarrassing we are even in this situation.

It is a very worrying situation, the woeful standard of rugby we have played against champion sides in the 8s, means that there is no guarantee of a win in any of the remaining games, plus the news about Hiku fills me with a sense of foreboding. The seems to be a lack of ambition in the club and so many rumours with so little geniune news. I dread to think of the impossible happening and wire going into the championship next year

Surely you mean retaining, not regaining?
