I said 5th even when we were going through the mire earlier in the season and I still stand by that.

6th at best imo. You haven't finished top 5 for about 4 years and this season is probably the worst you've had yet. Unless Cas/Wakey/Quins fall down big time that is.

I will go for 6th

We're not yet at the point where we can expect performances consistent with Friday night, plus we're probably due another injury or two along the way. If we lose Briers again we'll take a step backwards, for instance. Best chance of glory is the Challenge Cup: we'll have to beat some top sides to do it but that still means just three outstanding performances against the eight or ten needed to get us into the top four. I think we should be happy, given the poor start, to finish anywhere from 6th to 8th and at least be involved in the playoffs again.

When the season started i said 4th, looking at the table last night i'm sticking with my 4th prediction. I can see Wakefield, Harlequins and Hudders losing a few place from now until the end of the year.

aslong as were in the playoffs i can see us doing really well semis or maybe final?

How does the playoffs work this year in its extended format? I heard the top team are able to choose who they play in the first round, or something along those lines. I'm sure one of the resident boffins on here will know.
