There are 6 contenders for the top 4, Toronto, Toulouse, Featherstone, Halifax, London and Leigh. I've put the worst case set of results for us, to see if we could still get top 4.

Toronto - Predicted 43 points, clear winners

vs Sheffield - Win
vs Batley - Win
vs Rochdale - Win
vs Featherstone - Lose (they could throw this game to spite Leigh)

Toulouse - Predicted 30 points

vs Sheffield - Win
vs London - Lose (unfavourable for us)
vs Barrow - Win
vs Halifax - Lose (unfavourable for us)
vs Dewsbury - Win

Featherstone - Predicted 30 points

vs Rochdale - Win
vs Halifax - Lose (unfavourable for us)
vs Swinton - Win
vs London - Lose (unfavourable for us)
vs Toronto - Win

Halifax - Predicted 33 points

vs Barrow - Win
vs Featherstone - Win (bad for us)
vs London - Lose (Bad for us)
vs Toulouse - Win
vs Rochdale - Win

London - Predicted 32 points

vs Batley - Win
vs Toulouse - Win
vs Halifax - Win
vs Featherstone - Win
vs Barrow- Win

Leigh Predicted points - 32 points

vs Batley - MUST WIN!
vs Rochdale - Win
vs Swinton - Win
vs Sheffield - Win

Basically, it is between Leigh, Halifax and London for 4th, we need Fev and Toulouse to beat Halifax & London and then we should guarentee 4th, IF, and its a big IF, we beat Batley in the next game.

If we loose that, then we are counting on others results to go our way which I just can't see.

Isn’t the ‘worst case scenario’ losing all four games?

Why is beating Batley a big IF, travelling not in our favour obviously but they lost at home recently against Sheffield
Let's see how they go on today against London

You've not understood what I am doing, by worst case I mean in terms of teams in a similar league position to us getting the most amount of points possible.

As you've confirmed your rocket scientist, yes if we loose all 4 games we are not in the top 4

Because they're re bogie team, its away, pressure on Leigh to win, few injuries, we just lost our last game convincingly, the list can go on... like you say, we'll see, they always play better at home

Anyone known what the injury situation is? Be great to get Dawson, Matautia. Higham, Evans, Mason, Hall and Acton back for the run in. Think we mainly missed the grunt up front yesterday.

Well Dawson and Pete are back week after next
Higham I think is around the same, but does he get back in the 17
Evans is a billy sick note, just feel like your waiting for the next injury which the him - although Ricky Bailey has stepped in well for me
Hall back next week if his missus let's him go to Batley




Mason and Acton not back for a while I don't think - and it's the grunt we are missing
No idea what's up with Ryan Bailey

If London win their remains 5 as predicted they would be on 34 not 32

Also Fev on 32

Toulouse 32

Toronto 41

Toronto 43
Toulouse 36
Fev 32
Leigh 32
Fax 31
Bronchos 30

Are you sure about your arithmetic .?Even giving a win for Toronto against Featherstone I have got you in 6th place with the rest of your predictions

Apologies. It's my arithmetic . I double counted today's results . Your poorish points difference may tell against you ,however.

Never in the field of human conflict has so much been owed by so many to so few.

Why when i visit our site do i get a pop up saying Ads help us run this site when i don’t want to.how could i bypass this???

I think our master plan is that our PD will increase significantly over the next 4 games, whilst others could go negative to current
Either way 4 wins will give us 32 points and the stattos inform us that will be enough anyhoose

Our final four games are against the 7th placed club and the bottom 3. Surely our points difference may improve over those games? (the same clubs London, Featherstone, Toulouse and halifax have been playing these past three weeks)

After today's results we are also 95 points behind on Fev. On points difference now.

It is only 24 per game.

Everyone has 4 games remaining - [urlassuming we can win all 4 games[/url - we end up with 32 points.

To finish ahead of:
London - we need them to lose two games - they finish on 30 points.
Halifax - we need them to lose two games - they finish on 31 points.
Featherstone - we need them to lose two games - they finish on 32 points. But we have to claw back a points difference of 95 points.
Toulouse - we need them to lose three games - they finish on 32. But we have to claw back a points difference of 124 points.

It is important for us that Toronto beat Featherstone and Toulouse beat London & Halifax.

I guess we could finish ahead of London if they lost one game - they finish on 32 points, but we would have to claw back a points difference of 158

Great stuff Jboyleigh, i think we just might sneak in there.

Im hoping our points difference will be 120 or so better than it is right now. It’s going to be tight but we should be ok.

A few weeks back I thought you would be nailed on for the top 4 but I reckon now you will just miss out. Im tipping Fax to win 3/4 games and think Fev will be the other team in there although Im hoping for a Fax win this week I still think they will beat Toronto on the final day.
