Will we break the top 4 again?? : Sun Jun 03, 2012 10:48 pm  

Ok I want to put a pin in the halfback situation, I did not go to the game today, so I'm going to go from previous games and assume the same for the halfbacks as previously and I'm going to assume that will continue to the last game of the season. So bearing that in mind, how do you think we will go.

The blobinator has already staked out 3rd and said Saints will grab that spot.

I was looking more towards 4th. We don't have Wigan again now until the end of the season so we have a chance to build some confidence and get a run of games together. Next week see's some clashes in the league that if we can overturn the Bulls at home will show us gaining ground on the top 4.

I think if we can win every game between now and Warrington then we will in that top 4 maybe even playing the wire to take their spot off them. Everyone is catchable bar Wigan. I don't think we will catch them all but I think we'll be back within touching distance come the wire game.

Not bad after a dire start and a lack of half back creativity. What do you think??

I think we will finish 5th.

I think we'll finish 3rd which just shows how poor the rest of the league really is!. Wigan to finish top by a clear margin then hopefully fall flat in the playoffs.

Anyone know when Hull and Catalan play their PP fixture, they will be playing back to back at this rate.

With no injuries, player revolts and/or cataclysmic losses of confidence I think we could scrape 4th.

Any of the above and we'll be down to 5th or 6th.

We are within 5 points of Warrington, I can see them lossing against Leeds next week. It may sound daft but even 2nd spot is not impossible. Although I think this is beyond us.... http://www.superleague.co.uk/article/25 ... ealistic-- Cheers Hull, that gives you Catalan 2 times in a month.

I'd be surprised if we managed to snap up fourth but it's not beyond us. Results today suggest that the easy games are getting tougher and tougher every year although I was amazed that Widnes beat another big gun. We seem to be able to knock off the wins against the lower placed clubs which is always a good sign.

Do the RFL drug testers test the coaches as well as the players because he is definitely on something? I think we will finish 5th which is about what we deserve. I've not a lot of confidence we can even beat bradfud this Friday. Perhaps if he tries something slightly different e.g. bring gaskell back and put lance on the bench, we might look a bit more creative?

I think 4 is definatley do able. Don't forget all the top teams bar Huddersfield and Wigan have to play each other. So points are going to be dropped.

With teams above, Warrington, Huddersfield, Catalan all dropping points this week against teams not in the top 8, we are certainly in with a shout.

The only problem is Wigan look almost untouchable at the moment.
