never stated you wasn't the better team, you were on the night, just pointed out that cas were outscored 4 tries to 3

Im glad cas are looking good, gives leythers like me a hope that we could one day compete. Celtic are starting to look well-drilled, if they played salford now i think theyd win, and at least i understand why theyre in super league, i think widnes would be a credit to the sport.

At the end of the day we are 4th at the minute and no one can take that away from us, and for me we deserve to be there.

We wont finish 4th we might not even finish in the top 6 but i think we're guaranteed top 8 this year. We had a few injury's today for the first time and still won so everything is going ok and you can't really ask for much more.

Leigh, Widnes and Halifax all have the potential to do what we are doing so far this year (from the Championship teams) and who knows, maybe they will.

There was a virus running through the team, evans and jones both had the virus. There was 3/4 others who played yesterday with the virus but not as bad as the other 2.

It's refreshing to see the team sticking with it with 14 mins to go at 26-10 down and come back and score 3 tries and 3 goals to win us the game.
Different mentalaty at the club these days and a definatly top 8 finish for me.....doubt we'll be to 4 though, BUT who know's.

Did the wind die down when Dixon kicked for us then, then pick back up when Bosc kicked? Er....I didn't thinks so. Take your blinkers off.

back to the thread title

This week, our chances are mainly 'good'.

I can see us beating Wakie the week after too.

I can't see us losing, had to wait a while to say that !

oooh I bet thats gonna come back and bite you.

Being confident of a win is one thing, not being able to see how you can lose is asking for trouble.

Never fear – it's only Kear!

Remind me again how that turned out for us last time?

That was then, this is now.

I shouldn't worry anyway with my poor predictions alately Wakie will probably walk it

Some people need to wake up to 2009, We are not the team we were last year, We recruited very well in key areas, Replaced our exiting stand off and hooker with better players, Brought in a superb and solid back row, And a bit more strength to back the side up so we arent just a 13 man team

Add to that some of the bigger names are playing fully fit now - makes a big difference


For the 4, I doubt it - But in this form the 8 looks nailed on


As for wakey, I can see us losing it - Its just cas to do that - But if we wish to be a top 4 side we need to win, And away at Warrington too

I reckon you guys will whip them.

Our record this season is Quins -4, Wigan +6, Salford +36, Catalans +2, Huddersfield -2, Hull +1, Bradford +2. So really, apart from Salford (and Wigan of course

), most of the games could have gone either way. Which is definitely why we shouldn't be getting carried away.

That being said, our fixture list for next month reads as follows:

Keighley (A)
Wakefield (H)
Warrington (A)
St Helens (H)
Celtic (A)

I would argue that 2 of those games we should be winning, a further 2 we are in with a good chance and if we play to our full potential we can give Saints a good game too.

Let's not get carried away now, we've got a tough month coming up, let's see where we are at the end of April because May and June look like even tougher months with games against Hull, Leeds, Hull KR, Saints and Huddersfield to look forward to.

However being the top try scoring side in super league does give us a good chance to stay in the top 6. And iirc we have only been outscored (in terms of tries) in one match.

Your reason for holding that opinion is?

... to be commended.

Good luck on that, some people *cough*Wigan Fans/Coaches*Couch* think Huddersfield are the same team that got relegated, what, 8 years ago?

Its pathetic, Nobody goes to Wigan anymore fearing defeat - Its one of those that its "they think they are world beaters, Lets bring them down a peg or two" - Works most times

Confidence.........

Take a look at the table. HTH

Up till a week ago Wakey were above Cas. Had the Celtic game not been called off they might still be. Even so I think Cas would still have been favourites to beat Wakey at Cas at any point over the last few weeks. Don't think the table has much to do with it really.

Maybe so, but then Wakey would have played a game more HTH. We have both played the same amount of games now, and we're higher.

Yes. My point was that when Wakey were higher Cas would still have been favourites to win a clash at that time.

But we have arguably had harder games and have played with almost half our first choice players missing.
