Having looked at the fixtures of all of the teams around us upto Hull in the table and looking at the improvement I saw on Monday night. (I thought our attacking structure looked better, defensively we still need a good amount of work) and with Lomax on the verge of a return I fully expect us to beat our next four opponants (Bradford, Salford, Hull KR, Cas) that will probably move us up to the heady heights of 7th. But there would probably be a gap then between us and 8th and 9th and I expect only a 3 point gap between us and 4th then with us to play 2 of the teams above us (Catalan and Hull). We would obviously need to improve from where we are to start to beat both of those teams away from home but some wins, some confidence and some better players playing to their potential could se us do it.
From the fixtures over the next 4 rounds I am expecting the following teams to get the following points
Hull - 6 (possibly 8 )
Catalan - 4
Leeds - 6
Bradford - 2
Hull KR - 2
But the number of occasions that the above teams play each other (including us) in the next 4 rounds could mean anything is possible, plus if Huddersfield do fall apart then that will have a big bearing as they play 4 of those teams.
Its all a bit speculative but I prefer to look at the positives rather than the negatives
