Cas will beat Quins and Celtic, Catalans will lose to Wakefield and Saints, Warrington will lose to HullKR and beat Harlequins, and Quins will lose both there games, On our form we should beat Salford and Hull, if it pans out like this we will secure 8th place on 25 points, Cas would have 28 (7th), Warrington 24, Catalans 24, Quins 22.

That's what i'm hoping for, and imo it looks very likely on current form etc.

I think that the bookies would probably agree with you on every one of those. It's not been a bookies season generally though and I reckon the biggest risks are that the Cats will beat Wakey or Warrington will beat KR.

Cas are nailed on for the 8, since Celtic have imploded and definitely won't win another game this season. So they'll get to 26 points whatever happens...

The key game is going to be Cats vs Wakefield, and Cats will obviously target this game since they won't want to have to rely on having to be beat Saints at Knowsley Road. With a week off to recover from their beating today and a fervent home crowd, I think they'll beat a Wakefield team who will possibly be resting players for the later Play Off games. That said, I wouldn't put it past Wakey to beat them - I didn't expect them to go to Warrington and win...

Harelequins have obviously bombed their chance, and I honestly think Wire will be settling for Cup glory. Maybe if Warrington win next week, they'll get some energy and momentum for their last 2 games, but I doubt they'll make it.

So we're now down to

Round 26:
Bulls beat Salford
Wakefield beat Catalans
Cas beat Harlequins
Hull KR beat Warrington (Warrington will have played in CC final the week before)

Round 27:
Bulls beat Hull FC
Saints beat Catalans

Round 26 is the key. If all 4 results go our way, then it's looking very, very good!

Think that's the main stumbling block, Catalans needing a win at home against a Wakey side who don't really have to win

Yes. Absolutely. Wakefield are already sure of their place. Catalans know they only need to win this one to make sure. Tough.

Wakey owe us one for 2006.
