Surely the more teams in and around the same points as us is better for us?
We're going to lose points regardless, up to 6. So take this into account;
As things stand now;
# Team Pl W D L Pts
1 Wigan Warriors 19 15 0 4 30
2 Warrington Wolves 19 13 1 5 27
3 Catalans Dragons 18 13 0 5 26
4 St Helens 19 11 2 6 24
5 Huddersfield Giants 18 11 0 7 22
6 Leeds Rhinos 19 11 0 8 22
7 Bradford Bulls 19 10 1 8 21
8 Hull FC 17 9 2 6 20
9 Hull K R 19 9 1 9 19
10 Salford City Reds 19 7 1 11 15
11 Wakefield Wildcats 19 6 0 13 12
12 Castleford Tigers 18 5 0 13 10
13 London Broncos 19 3 0 16 6
14 Widnes Vikings 18 3 0 15 6
Ok, so knock 6 of us, that gives us;

So in answer to the question, forget about Huddersfield, we're 1 point behind them now, but we sure as hell won't be in the coming weeks. We need to stay within touching distance of Hull KR. Even with the deduction we only drop by 3 places which is pretty good considering.
