All three remaining games are winnable by us. Saints are probably that bit too far ahead of everyone, when they want to play.

London is the key fixture we should target 100%. If we're not up for that one there is something wrong.

Whereas we could beat Salford and/or Wire, I really would rather not be in the position of having to.

Realistically it's unlikely that all the other sides below us will get 2 wins from the remaining 3 but if we can just dispatch London we can relax and start prep for an important year next year.

Would you back us to beat London?

I wouldn't.

I would, I know there's a lot of love for London but ATEOTD they are bottom with a big negative points difference for a reason. I'm not saying it will be an easy game but we should be capable of winning, I think the Salford at home game is the one that's most difficult (if we still need to win it that is) as they are in belting form, if Warrington don't have Austin they look average.

I think all 3 of our remaining games are a bit of a tall order.
London - On their home plastic pitch with them knowing that they also need a win for survival. Desire is going to win this one and London are not short in that department.
Salford - Form team in the comp at present and I don't think we will win this one. They are on a roll and enjoy putting one over on us.
Warrington - If they are playing for top 5 position then this could be a tough one too, if they are safe in play offs then we will have more of a chance. Their form is certainly nothing to write home about and the CC could have a big bearing on their future form.
I can see us not winning another, hope I'm wrong.

If we hold on to the ball and don’t make silly errors all game, we can mix it with most sides now I think.

Lui gives us a kicking game we haven’t had for years.

Ava is a machine at prop, really stiffens up that pack.

Martin is skilful and adds pace to the edges which again we’ve lacked.

Lunt gives us solidity and control from dummy half, and a good distribution to first receiver which again we’ve lacked at times.

Structurally we are a better side now than at the start of the season, aside from Ward who I’m hoping will Ben back before season end (but not on plastic pitch).

Cuthbo is in better form and Hurrell has cut out some mistakes, and we don’t have the same turnstile right edge defence leaking three tries every game.

We certainly shouldn’t be easy to beat by anyone in this league given what’s at stake for the club.

The players we have are better than London, that is obvious . It's our players who need to need to be right mentally .you can tell how anxious they are and the way the way they celebrated against Giants and Cats .

I'd have thought London would be looking at their remaining fixtures and seeing them all as being very winnable for them. Suspect there's a few twists and turns left in this yet

I too think all our 3 games are winnable I also can see us losing our last 3 games.
It could go down to the last game of the season and if I`m not mistaken we play Warrington, Hudds play Catalan and London play Wakefield .

Over 2 weeks to prepare for the biggest game of the season.Agar needs to make sure the players take to the field with confidence in their own ability and use controlled aggression.We don'tt want to be giving back to back penalties away.We have to play to our strengths but shouldn't feel the need to try and score on every play.Man for man our team is better.Not only is this a massive gamer the players it's also a massive test of Agars coaching ability.
