I still think it’s out of reach for this season (just). I fully expect us to win our remaining 3 games, but I fear that points difference may be our undoing, plus I also think other results won’t go as we would like. I fully expect Hull KR to beat Hull FC which would be a major blow, I also have a funny feeling that Widnes may pull off a shock against Wigan, Widnes should also beat Bradford (although their form has been good of late) Catalan will beat London comfortably at their place and that should see them make the 8.

The point I guess I’m trying to make, is we are still relying on other teams results so it’s technically not in our hands.

How exciting could the Widnes game last match of the season be, if it came down to winner takes all?!

Looking at the remaining fixtures, I reckon we'll do it.

I predict:

Wakefield will lose at Cas and beat HKR at home = 21 pts
Widnes won't win again = 23 pts
HKR will beat Catalans = 23 pts
I am (have to be!) confident we will win our last 3 games = 25 pts.

I've never bothered looking until now - what position team will we play ?

Hull KR will beat Hull FC and Catalan putting them on 25 with a better points difference than us
Widnes will beat Bradford putting them on 25 points with a worse points difference.

Hull KR to sneak it I'm afraid.

If we do make 8th we will play 5th away, so either Huddersfield, Warrington or Cas

After there shoddy season I expect Hull FC to go all guns blazing to beat KR. They'll want to give their fans something.

I hope so, but they're dire at the moment. I can't see past a KR win.

Well at least we will know our fate before kick off as Widnes and KR play on the friday night. If they lose then i think we will go out and beat wakefield but if results go the other way i just think the lads will be gutted and we will get beat. I think Hull at home will just beat kr but wigan are unpredicatable so god knows if they will beat widnes
