If we beat you, Hudds and the two championship clubs we will be on 12.

Mr Balls has already pointed that out

Not if both Giants and KR get to 10 points which is still possible. Our points difference is likely to be vastly inferior due to leaking 46 points at the end of all our games

That is true Charlie, and what you forgot to mention is if Hudds beat Leeds and Leigh only beat 1 of Hudds or Rovers and the loser against us goes on to beat the one that beat us theres a chance Leigh, Leeds, Hudds, Rovers and Salford will all be on 10. But then again if me auntie had she would be my uncle....

And all the above makes us as far away to SL as the others... Keep the faith we might be on 8 points nearly this time tomorrow...

Forgot to add what is sure is if Leeds win all there games 10 points gets you automatic...

On that basis come on Leeds

At this moment however there is a scenario that could end with one team on Zero points one on 2 and 1 on 4 and 5 teams on 10 points........I think.

Spot on mate.... and if LISA wants to make some money id start an acca now with £10 and it will be a big outcome at the end...

Also if London win a Sl game and Leeds lose one we could have 5 teams on 8 - Leigh could miss Mpg on pts.
Crazy situation that you could beat other champ clubs and a Sl and miss out. How can Derek and co plan anything for next year? Meanwhile clubs like Toulouse can be busy...If we miss out this year what sense is there in funding a team on the same basis but with Toulouse and Toronto on the horizon? Hard work and investment deserve a reward. Cheaper to buy a SL team than keep trying to get up this greasy pole.

London would have to beat 2 SL teams to get 8 points. They have Giants/Fev/Salford and HKR to play

I know..I don't think teams like going to London and if they play at their best anything is possible ...I.m going to have the 12/1 for them tonight just to try and stop that nightmare scenario occurring - tried and tested method to affect results esp odds on favourites at the races

This is what I penned over 12 months ago:

"Saw a reply from ant7t2 postulating that there were definitely five winnable games for Leigh, possibly six (I happen to agree, for all that that’s worth). What would that mean? Statistically, five wins would guarantee a top five finish (i.e. at worst a stab at the “Million Pound Game”) whereas six wins guarantees a top three finish (automatic place in Super League next season). For anybody interested, the maths is below.

There are a total of 28 games in the Middle 8s. That’s 56 points up for grabs or, as I’ll call it, in the pot. Let’s write off the bottom two teams (whichever they may be) and assume that they both lose all their games bar the one in which they play one another. That leaves 54 points in the pot to be shared between the remaining six teams – an average of 9 points apiece. Any team getting more than that (e.g. with the abovementioned 5 wins) is guaranteed to finish above sixth spot. It is possible for all six to finish on 9 points but it is highly unlikely that there would be three draws in the mere fifteen games between these six clubs – there were only six draws in the 226 matches in the top two divisions last season. This means that, realistically, four wins and a draw would be enough for a top five spot.

Scenario two. Write off the bottom four clubs this time. They play six games amongst themselves leaving 44 points to be shared between the top four. Even a Winwick based Wire fan can work out that average! Any team getting more than eleven points (e.g. by getting six wins) would be guaranteed to finish above fourth.

These scenarios are extreme. These Eights are likely to be very competitive and I feel that all involved will pick up a few points. That, however, will merely lower the crossbar. There is (statistically, although not realistically) a chance that a club could win the whole damned caboodle with only seven points."

That last bit is no longer possible after the results this year so far.

We'll all be a little wiser in about two hours time. Let the games begin!

Im dreading that little guy with the white face on a tricycle asking Do you wanna play a Game?

Rhinos reds level
London ahead
Brierley not selected

6-4 Huddersfield ahead

10-4 half time

leeds 10 Salford 8

28-4 to huddersfield

Looking like Salford will be able to get to no more than 8 points now.

Leeds beating Salford is a good result for us.

Was a bit worried at 10 - 8.

2 wins now guarantees us to finish above Salford and minimum home advantage in MPG.

A win tomorrow or next week against Hudds would give us 1 foot in the SL door.

No pressure lads!

Huddersfield thrashed London

Gotta feel for Salford (the Eccles Kaks)!

So was I, Nozzy, but it worked out in the end. Rather hoped Broncos could set the cat amongst the pigeons too, but you can't have everything.

Tomorrow is a big day for Leythe and I haven't yet ironed my lucky underpants, so this is Bongser signing off.

Best of luck today boys and girls.

Get 'em stuffed and get yourselves up.
