Who'd have thunk that after Cas handed us our collective arrisses......I reckon some silverware may be coming our way this season.....hope that's not the kiss of death.
I still thought we could make the playoffs after the Cas defeat, level on points at the top at this stage is better than I thought though.
Don't know yet if we'll win any silverware as it can come down to fine margins and IF we make any finals that'll be the matches we'll miss Sinfield and Peacock the most. But we're looking in a good position to make the top 4 and ourselves and Wigan do have the playoff experience over the likes of Cas and Hull.
Previous 2 years of the Super 8's system, the team in 4th after 23 rounds have been on 28 points, so for us that's 6 wins from our remaining 12 which is very much achievable and a realistic target of 8/9 wins from 12 would leave us very well placed entering the Super 8's.
The upcoming month features some tough tests with Catalans away, without Watkins and Hall who'll be playing for England. Magic weekend vs Cas and another double game weekend for teams to get through with Warrington on the Friday and Widnes on the Monday again for us.
The cup can be a bit of a lottery with regards how the draw goes and who goes long into that competition could drop league points as a result especially the winners as ourselves and Hull have done in the last 2 years.
