Nevermind the playoffs, we're getting top 4

Re: Play off chances : Sat Aug 24, 2024 4:01 pm  

Saints and Catalans are there for the taking right now.

Not according to the oracle that is Sam Tomkins

He has:
HKR
Wigan
Warrington
Saints
Cats
Salford

Not sure we will bet Wigan or KR but it`s not impossible.
Cats have got Hull and London to finish their season.
i do think had we beat Salford we would make the playoffs.

Keep harking back to it but the Salford defeat really did end our hopes.

We aren't a million miles off. Particularly with Farmer Arthur now signed up. 2025 will be a much better season

Re: Play off chances : Sun Aug 25, 2024 9:57 am  

Four wins, maybe even three gets us in I think. While I'd love to see us rise like a Phoenix from the ashes and win the whole thing, for the greater good of the club it probably needs to play out the hard way. London and Hull in the next two matches should be comfortable wins, but we know how those type of fixtures went when Arthur wasn't at the helm. Winning those two games in a professional manner and then nailing performances ( not necessarily wins) against KR and the Pies really sets us up for a productive pre-season and a successful 25.

Won’t mean a lot for 25, think n some bring changes afoot…

Re: Play off chances : Sun Aug 25, 2024 4:13 pm  

Think we will need 30 points to get in the playoffs so 3 wins but then we are still relying on other results dropping our way. With so many permutations anything can happen but think we may just fall short.
As others gave said the Salford loss was the killer we would had been above them now if we won that

Re: Play off chances : Sun Aug 25, 2024 4:33 pm  

We could be in the 6 this time next week. Salford (vs HKR), Catalans (vs Wigan) and Leigh (vs Warrington) could all lose next week. Then we would most likely be in the 6 assuming we manage to beat London, and it’s back in our hands again although with a tough last two games.

That's how I see it too
We've got 2 very winnable games v London (A) and HFC (H) which would put us on 28 points
then we have 2 tough games v Wigan (A) and HKR (A) when they could both be fighting for either the LLS or a home tie in the play offs.

Plenty of If's and But's but it's out of our hands in reality
The loss to Salford in round 20 was a big blow, but I think that the round 14 defeat to Hull FC away was worse
