We're as near as damn it at the halfway point of the season and here's the [url=http://wigan.rlfans.com/fusion_pages/index.php?page_id=878current picture[/url.

But, which 8 sides will be contesting the play-offs at the end of the season?

Current 8 but swap Wakey for Wigan

I can't see us finishing top 8 to be honest, we're scraping by with injuries and I don't think we have the strength in depth needed. If we can keep our form up there's no reason why we can't make the play-offs, but Wire and Wigan are hitting good form at the moment and I doubt we can keep up.

They're the two that concern me, certainly moreso than Catalans. I wouldn't be surprised if it's us and Wakefield to drop out.

To be honest i wouldnt be too bothered if we did drop out, i would still consider this a successful season

In no particular order:-

Leeds, Saints, HKR, Wigan, Warrington, Hudds, Quins, Bradford.
Cas, Hull, Wakey and Catalans in a battle for 9th place and I'm not as bothered about our final position as our points tally in relation to the other 3.

Get rid of Bradford, swap Warrington for Hull and I agree...

I'll go from-

Wakefield
Quins
Warrington
Cas
Hull KR
Saints
Leeds
Wigan

As you can see, with Wakefield at the top, I didn't put it in any particular order.

Cas will defo be in the top 8.

Despite the Celtic result I saw enough in their games against us, Leeds, Wakey and Saints to suggest they're not that far off the pace. They always tend to kick-on in the latter stages of the season and if they're still in touch at the business end they will make, and probably, shake up the play-offs.

That's good enough for me.

I hope this isn't just opinion stated as fact because I'm going to put all my money on it happening now.

Yeah me too. I am going to hold off with the life saving op my dog desperately needs and put all the money I was going to use for it on the bet. Then he can have his op and I will take him on holiday afterwards too.

I think we will just miss out

While a run in the playoffs would probably be financially lucrative, given our aims for the 3 year licence period, a good off season would see us in good stead for Years 2 & 3, and the re-license application.

A good off season, with good recruitment would do for me.

My thought's exactly but..finger's crossed eh'

Don't rule out celtic....
