Hull KR's run in is very hard - and Salford need some points back.

It's still in our hands, we just don't want to start a big losing run or confidence can take a big part in things.

Exactly.

Do we really? Finishing 8th us all that matters when all said and done. Anything else is a bonus

Yes we need to get back to winning ways. When we make the 8s we need to be competing and not getting hammered

Confidence and momentum are vital

Getting to the 8s and getting panned every week is not most people's idea of a good time

Wake have a knack of not only loosing games you expect them to win but also starting a winning run for the team involved.

Conversely, this season, we've developed a knack of winning games we're expected to lose.

The wins against Cats, Wire, and wigan great but 4 points can be scratched because of the last 2 games. We should have been more than safe and entering the next games and the C C without a care and no pressure.

I agree - capitulations in two very winnable games that could have a significant bearing on how the season turns out; we were probably saved by the results of the other games in that round.

I agree, but that happens to all teams. Leeds always used to have a mini slump before taking charge. I'm not suggesting we will do that but we will IMHO recover and have a second wind. Whether its enough to win us top 8 or better we will have to wait and see.

Your last point is very valid - results did go our way which suggest we are a lucky team since Chester arrived, lets just hope we are not starting to abuse that.

It's well and truly in our hands, realistically it's up to us to mess it up.
And that's what scares me a Trinity like capitulation.
Without sounding too negative if we carry this form into the rest of this season and end up in the middle 8's then the Championship clubs will all fancy their chances.
But, if we regain our form and get just two wins then I think we'll make the top eight. Then there's the question of Salford getting points back.
Great fun watching Trinity isn't it?

If Salford get any points back, I will seriously have to consider whether I want to support RL anymore.

Re: We will finish in the top 8 : Tue Jun 07, 2016 6:42 pm  

If Salford look as though they're going to finish below Wakefield, Lifelong, I'm sure that the RL will ensure they get some points back.
