Leeds have the easier run in with games v Wakey, Wides and Salford, so I see them on 21 points
Catalan have Wire and Wigan away and Salford at home, so 20 points...

Wakey have FC and Huddersfield, so I see them finishing on 20 points with a win v Hudds or 18 if they lose
Huddersfield have Wigan and Castleford, so 17 points.....or 19 if they beat Wakey

Wakey v Huddersfield on the final day is a HUGE game for both clubs.....has to be on SKY doesn't it?

Leeds have lost 8 on the spin and you think they're going to now get 3 wins on the spin?

Cant see it, they're in disarray and a very poor team who have a load of half-hearted plodders in the forwards. Wakey will turn them over at the weekend.

Weve (Hull KR) just hit a vein of form and have a run in of Widnes (A), Wire (H) and FC (A). long shot but win all 3 and it puts us in with a shout of 8th especially as there was a 60 point points difference turnaround vs Leeds yesterday.

Cant see us doing it realistically but if Leeds don't turn there form around soon they could be in for a tough middle 8's especially if they drop below us into 10th.

Leeds will probably finish outside the top 8 and then walk the middle 8’s finishing top like last time.

Also I don’t think anyone is coming up from the championship/going down from super league this time

not even toronto?

Difficult to judge because of the quality of opposition but Toronto look better than Widnes

How are they going to work their home games in the middle 8’s?

I know they get another home game finishing top but it’s a lot of travelling. I honestly don’t see them coming up.

Why are they signing Cameron Smith? It’s a shocking Leeds team and they really need to hope they can avoid the middles. I’m not saying they won’t make it through ok, but I’d be surprised if they did finish top.

Your obviously easily supprised then, because leeds will not be in the middle 8’s

Only Widnes are in worse form than Leeds, we’ll see.

I wonder if we could end up with a scenario where a draw between Huddersfield and Wakefield would secure both teams places in the top 8, and condemn Leeds to the Middle 8's?

If so, that final match could be even more interesting!

Not too sure why you think it is just between Wakefield and Hudds - If Wakefield beat Leeds on Friday it will put them 5 points in front of them with 4 points to play for...

Also Catalan have to play Wire, Wigan and Salford - I can only really see 1 win out of 3 there.

Toronto up and Widnes down. Guaranteed

All depends on Fridays game between Leeds and Wakefield. Wakey have the chance Friday of putting themselves safe. Leeds will be a different team after a week with Sinfield, but they looked very unfit yesterday, which can’t be fully addressed in 1 week. So, I’ll refrain from commenting on ‘Wakefield or Huddersfield’ yet as it will be irrelevant if Wakey win Friday.

Not too sure why people are labeling Sinfield as there savior, what coaching experience does he actually have? They could not even give him the "Head Coach" job title as he did not have a coaching badge to be given it, so they had to employ Lowes as a front.

Great player and great servant to the club but so was Cunningham at Saints.

NOTHING IS EVER GUARANTEED LEBRON.

Well if you listen to some Leeds fans he coached them all through his playing career



I think (hope) its a bit of a different situation to Cunningham, Sinfield was a different type of player he ran the show as a player and I personally think he will be able to translate that in his new role, but it won't be a quick fix by any means and I think he now knows that

My opinion is just the lift that having him around the place might have on the players, thats all. He is in charge of hiring/firing so they should be playing for contracts. They looked unfit though.

This isn’t guaranteed, it could be Salford that go down.

Leeds already have Cameron Smith

was not aware anybody was saying he is the savior, in think it has raised just as much eyebrows with Leeds fans has it as everyone else. the only thing for certain is that the jury was always out on whether Leeds won so much because of Mcdermott or inspite of him. think we have the answer now. confidence Tactics just some back to basics passing handling and defending will turn this still very talented Leeds side in to a decent side again.

I think the Wakefield game is going to be a better test of how Sinfield is planning on changing the side around, I think the Cas game was more of a case of Sinfield seeing where the team were, and they showed him!

Edited for accuracy

If Wakefield beat Leeds on Friday they are safe.
If they are safe, they may field a weakened team in the last game to give some rests before playoffs, which will hand Huddersfield the win (not that they couldn't win anyway)
That would put Leeds in a difficult situation.

Of course if Leeds win on Friday, it's all on.
