Yeh as long as Harlequins lose one of their final two games too.

Would be down to points diff, and I'm not sure what they are!

Looking at the table we are far better points difference wise than Cats.

Are all the relevant fixtures (assuming they are still relevant) going to be played at the same time next weekend?

Yeh but I'd rather we were only relying on Saints to do us a favour in the Final round. If results go our way again tomorrow our destiny would almost be in our own hands unless there was a MAJOR shock. However Saints haven't been great at home this year so.. nervous times still ahead!

Indeed, either way at least it's going to make the end of the season more exciting than I thought it would be a few weeks ago, everything crossed for tomorrow.

All pretty close:

Catalans -59
Harlequins -42
Bulls -44.

So a draw would be enough unless Harlequins won one of their games by a bigger margin than our possible win against Salford.

Saints resting a few key players next week anyone?

Hmm, I wouldn't put it past them but I think they need to find some form so I doubt they'll make too many changes.

Well, well, well

It's suddenly looking one hell of a lot more likely isn't it? It's almost like Wire and Cats don't want to make the top 8

I think we will win our last two

I'm certain that Castleford will at the very least beat Celtic, even if they end up losing tomorrow.

I don't see Quins winning their last two, and I don't think Cats will go to Knowsley Road and win

...all of which means, against all my expectations, we will actually make the 8.

I can hardly believe I'm writing this

Didnt feel the need to work out how the new play-off system worked, has anybody got a link?
