Middle 8 Predictions : Sun Aug 09, 2015 10:14 am
Prior to yesterdays game the bookies had us at 25/1 to finish 3rd and Guaranteed Promotion looking at the format 4 wins should guarentee promotion or a place in the million pound game 3 wins may be enough for a place in the million pound game but that is likely to go down to point differenceI dont think we are good enough to finish in the top 5 all i ask is for us to be competitive and hopefully next season with a full time squad and playing back at Sheffield crowds should rise and hopefully we will be in a stronger position to challenge although i would not turn down a place in the superleague if we overperform
A Bradford LOSE 16 A Game with have to win if we want to get promoted however Bradford has been rotating its squad in its poor end of the season although we beat them last month however in the last 17 minutes bradford scored 24 points to 2 so we were hanging on at the end and remember early in the season we got well beaten by 34 points and our record at the provident stadium is poor W1 L5 F 92 A 252 A game we can win but at Bradford it will be tough
A Widnes LOSE 24 Very difficult away to number 1 seeds on a surface we have not played on before and a poor record at the stadium W0 L7 D 120 A 278
H Halifax WIN 6 A must win game if we are 0-2 will be tight but i can see us just prevailing
A Leigh LOSE 20 they lost their unbeaten home record yesterday but played well in defeat I can see them getting promoted this will be a tough game which i cant see us winning
A Salford LOSE 10 This has the potential for an upset however i would have to give it to the Super League club with home advantage
H Hull KR LOSE 14 in my opinion Hull KR are the best team in the middle 8's if we play well we might get a shock result especially if Hull KR have qualified for the Super League but in all likelyhood it will be another Loss
H Wakefield WIN 6 Interesting game and should be tight a lot depends on who needs it more I have given us the win with home advantage
Should be an interesting experience we are unlikely to gain promotion but you never know the last 2 games of the season both at home at Bramall Lane could be key but we need at least 1 win in the first 5 games
