HKR have three really tough games and could lose the next 2 easily.

Saints might not make the six at all.

I wouldn't count Leeds at home as a really tough game for Hull KR. I would expect them to beat Leeds comfortably.

i was expecting both saints and catalans to drop out of the play off places, with leeds and leigh, overtaking them (on form)

leeds were a bloody disapointment at the weekend, i reckon saints will keep their place but its due to leeds not getting their finger out and smelling blood.

There's a team 9 miles or so to the north West with a friendly bunch of fans that I would never rule out of at least getting to the final. I would hope to avoid them even in a 3rd v 6th game at the hj.

I'd much prefer to play them at their classily-monikered home ground, since we seem to usually stuff them there! Strange how we struggle at the HJ though.

Amyway I agree, I have a bad feeling they'll somehow scrape their way there.

Saints will make it and hopefully they will finish 4 or 5th - so losing to them on Sat would be a blessing in disguise. Hopefully it will be Salford or Catalans that finish 6th - preferably the latter.

Catalans last 3 games are salford, london and hull. Can't see them missing out on the top 6. They would be my preferred opposition if we finish 3rd.

I couldn’t care less who we play you have to beat any of them to win the final.

Warrington still alot to play for.

If HKR lose both games in WN, 2nd place should be yours.

I get what you are saying and I'm only 50/50 with the proposition on the basis that final placings are yet to be decided and depending upon where we/others end up and how we all got there will determine whether the run in can be perceived as fortuitous or not....on paper.

Factor in facing a team hampered by the MRP, injuries, loss and or gain of form/momentum and don't mention the hoodoo and whether Rowley or A N Other has our number. A bit like us might be hoping for a particular result in the Wigan v KR game, this also applies to the others in this mini cup competition. We've even debated on here whether having a week off is a good thing.

Having said all that we'll have to play what's in front of us ha ha
