Makes clear sense to me, as the discusssion is whether KR will make the play offs the statement reads as
KR @ Wigan away is a loss, he even states KR's last three fixtures which include 'Wigan A', the A stands for 'away' if you're in any doubt?
Your East Hull education is clearly letting you down yet again

You'll find it's your West Hull education letting yourself down. Your correct the A does infact stand for 'away' I'll add that the H stands for 'Home' with this in mind his post should have read.

KR- Wakey H, Wigan H, London A,

It actually reads

KR- Wakey H, Wigan, A, London A,

It's going to be between Bulls and KR for the 8th spot games left
Bulls- Hudd A, Hull H, Catalan A
KR- Wakey H Wigan A, London A
Bradford can win all them games with the way they have been going Catalan away is a tough ask
KR Wigan away is a loss other 2 are turn up and win

The KR Wigan away refers to Hull KR away to Wigan Which is clearly mentioned also in the 2nd line of his post.
Thanks and goodnight.

Interesting times over the next month. For Wire and Leeds a lot will depend on the CC final. On paper Wire should win but if Leeds want it they will make Wire work for it. I wouldn't be surprised at Whoever wins it to see their season implode.

Another thing to be considered is where Cats finish. If they finish top 4 and lose their first match the next match in France, I wouldn't be fancying that.

I have put London to beat Wire as they are on a good run and I think that Wire will rest some players before the CC and I think they will get beat off Hudds the week after. I have put Wire to win the CC but really on that one 50.1% of me think they will. I am totally unsure about HKR and Wakey. But I can't see either Cas or Widnes winning another match this season.

Here's an idea. All those who think Wigan will be at home to HKR should go to the DW on the day, and see how lonely they are. They might then realise that they are in the wrong place.

How would people see the play offs if 8th place reaches the final.

We could for instance have the possibility of Wakefield there against Wigan.
A team who will have lost 3 times as many games and almost only have half the match points of Wigan, given the opportunity to be Superleague champions.

Another scenario is if the Bulls reach the play offs in 8th place become champions, drop down into the Championship and play the WCC from the lower league.
