Predicting the Qualifiers with Four Rounds LeftWe know that we’ll upset one, or more, groups of supporters, that we will court controversy, and that we’ll probably pick up a degree of criticism. But we can't leave it any longer.
We're so excited about the unfolding drama that is the Super Eights Qualifiers that we've taken a look at the remaining programme and made our round by round predictions. This in turn has given us our final Qualifiers table and as a result the teams that we think will be automatically playing Super League in 2018.
We will then know the participants in the Million Pound Game and we’ll take a look at that too and predict who we think will be joining the other three in the top flight.

I predict Leigh to finish 3rd, finally beating Widnes in a game this season, and the MPG will be Widnes v Catalans, with Widnes as the winners. They haven't incorporated the Cunningham factor. However, I believe the RFL will be revamping SL and the Championship, so no SL team will be relegated.

The RFL will only revamp it if Catalans or Widnes get relegated, if Leigh go down they will leave it as it is

Where on earth are Catalans going to get 3 wins from? I can only see 1 at home to Fev. Our fate lies in beating Widnes, do that and it is at least 10 points. But they have suddenly become our bogey team, after many years of being our bunny in the Championship. The importance of finishing 11th rather than 12th is now obvious as we avoid playing on their horrible plastic pitch.

I struggle to see us beating Widnes. We seem to struggle to string two performances together, and teams that show enthusiasm with running halves seem to cause us no end of problems. |

Derek I have faith in the Leythers, play like we did on Saturday and we can beat anyone, but we are very unpredictable,these 8s are far from over for me Warrington and Hull KR will qualify the other 2 spots are anybodies from Cats , Widnes, and ourselves, a win against Widnes and we are in the driving seat, a loss will bring us the MPG,I've a feeling Cats will improve ,no disrespect to Fax and Fev but they are just making through numbers up, it's a 3 way dogfight , Cats ,Widnes and us, hopefully we can avoid the MPG. |

It is, but my opinion is based on what I've seen this season. Others will have different opinions, which is fine, we're all entitled to them. My opinion is that we struggle against any pace, or half backs willing to run at us. This was demonstrated when Danny Craven ran us ragged at the LSV. |

Very good, We'll let them do it again then shall we? We won't bother to try and combat that threat,we'll just let them do it again then shall we? Beltin. 
To compare that the last visit of Widnes, to what will happen in the next one a week on Sunday is daft. |

Of course we'll be trying to combat it. Whether we do is another matter. But we are a Jekyll and Hyde team, and have only managed to string two results together once this season. This, along with our abysmal record in close games, means I'll be going to the game more in hope than expectation. |

Hull KR are nothing special i cant see them beating the likes of Warrington Widnes or Catalans, if they beat Featherstone they will be on 8pts enough to get them into the million pound game.
If we beat Widnes a week on Sunday then i think we have a good chance of finishing 3rd, the million pound game will be Hull KR V Catalans or Widnes.

That i agree with, otherwise that would be disrespecting the opposition.
Last week's performance should give us something to work with,and having home advantage instead of that plastic pitch, we should give everything we've got to try and win it. I firmly believe we didn't do that with our last 2 encounters with the Vikings. |

| Well here's how I see it finishing. Points difference being vital
Warrington 14
Leigh 10
Widnes 10
HKR 10
Cats 6
London 3
Fax 2
Fev 1
There could be a switch with Cats beating Widnes in the last game making a Cats v Widnes MPG but I'm going with a HKR v Cats MPG, and a win for HKR.
Now you can all relax  |

Given the way Cats are playing,I can see Fev turning them over. |

I think there is a hell of alot of rugby to be played yet.
We need to beat Widnes who to be fair have showed a clean pair of heels to the championship clubs.
People just think that Warrington will go 7/7. I dont.
Fax and London for us will not be foregone conclusions and i expect Catalans to improve. In Fact, we could do with them beating Widnes too.

The only team you could predict is Fev coming bottom, London and Halifax will not be easy to beat.
Hull KR will probably finish on ten points, if Leigh beat Widnes next I believe Leigh will be on the same.
Warrington
Leigh
Hull KR
Catalans
London
Halifax
Fev

You could be right.
Each game is on the day.
However we have been good enough to beat you twice at your place each time without our best 17. We could finish 2nd to 5th but if we get our key players fit..Quinlan Abdul etc we'll avoid the million pound game.
Good luck to your lot. At least you bring some passion to the competition. |

I think he is referring to a little thing called form.
We've faced Widnes twice this year, first on the back of 2 1/2 great performances, second on the back of arguably our best ever SL. On both occasions we were shown up by a far from full strength Widnes opposition.j
Would love to think we'll win, we can win, but I don't think we will.
FWIW I think the winner of this game will avoid the mpg |

We've been nilled by Wigan, and put 50 on them twice, so your post doesn't mean a thing. |

Not odd at all. Both teams are capable of beating each other. Predicting an away win isn't the most illogical thing at all
