Remember only the top 4 enter the playoffs this year. It will be very competitive. I'm confident we'll make the Super 8's BUT do you think we'll be in the top 4 at the end of the Super 8's?

Would also be great if people could post who they think will be the top 4 come the end of September.

Based on what I have seen up to now I voted no. It's a long season and form (of both ourselves and other teams) can change but if we don't correct the high error rate and the needless repeated penalties then we won't make the top 4. I think we will comfortably make the top 8 by the split but will have left ourselves too much to haul back in the last seven games.

I think the top 4 come the end of the second phase (in no particular order) will be Leeds, Saints, Catalans and Warrington.

Yes, despite our terrible start of think there is plenty quality to pull things together and we will look a lot better when Lockers returns. My concern is we'll have to go flat out during those last 7 games to make the top 4 and not have enough in the tank to make the final or win it

Yes, we can pull this around... It's VERY early days.

Will we make the top 4?... Probably, but who knows what the season holds for us, and everybody else. Thats the beauty of sport.

I would agree, sure we’re not at the races yet, they’re certainly not all singing from the same song sheet, but there is just too much talent there not to make the top four. If it doesn’t look good around the 12 game mark (and I think it will) then I may start to worry, but I don’t think we should all be wearing black just yet. We’ve seen it all before. Keep the faith!

STOP THAT!!!... It's my job to be the stupid happy-clapper... Get off my territory!!!

Yes.

Yes will all come good next week Friday night will be there.

Leeds.
St Helens.
Wigan.
Warrington / Catalans.

I must admit I was asking myself if we will make the Super 8's after last night. I'm pretty confident we will but the top 4 clearly looks a way off currently.

Saints, Leeds, Wire and Catalans for me.

Although I've watched sport long enough to know things can change very quickly..

It will be a struggle. We are missing Lockers.

But yes. Just.

I'm a Leeds fan, and I still think you'll be in the top four. It's a long season. No need to panic just yet.

We'll make the four.

Looking at the table already, it's pretty obvious teams are going to be taking point of each other all year. I think Leeds and Saints will be consistant enough to take those top two spots but the rest are wide open and we'll get on a run at some point.

Yep, I'm confident we'll make the four. Once we start playing rugby where we're supposed to (i.e. the opponent's half) we'll be ok.

IMO Wigan can still make the top 4 without a doubt
But this early season slump will mean that you probably won't be able to go through another one if you wish to be in the top 4 come semi final time, It's a big ask but it's not beyond you by any means

Get your odds for a GF win now

There's every chance we'll make the top 4. Never underestimate the mediocrity of this competition, irrespective of the Sky pundits' hyperbole.

Sadly JJ, you are right

Yes.

Whether we do or don't, it is refreshing that the regular season games now have some significance. There are now consequences to losing. Just because we're the team who's lost a couple and are now under a bit of pressure to get it together doesn't change the fact that my interest in the competition is greater than in recent years.

Agreed, and that's why two cheers to the new system are merited. It may mot be a genuine fair chance for Championship sides to make the SL under an equal footing, but it has fulfilled the aim of trying to making each match matter.

On form so far we should asking if Wigan will make the 8!

We can if we want to. But we need to be disciplined. Joel Tomkins needs to stop thinking he's cock of the school, Liam Farrell needs to lose his petulance and arrogance, Josh Charnley needs to learn how to defend, Joe Burgess needs to concentrate on Wigan and not Sydney, Anthony Gelling needs to stop the brain farts, we need a settled 6 & 7 combination and Michael McIllorum needs to learn some leadership skills. But more Importantly we need to learn to play and win without Lockers. Some of the forwards need to step up a little and find their game. Larne Patrick has been disappointing and Tautai is finding his feet at a new club I do hope he gets better, and more importantly let's hope Ben Flower comes back a better person and player.

Sort them issues out and we'll be there or thereabouts, because as things stand we look average and most teams will be confident of beating us.

We're in the 8 now, so on current form, yes, yes we will.

Don't be ridiculous I will get u a ticket for the Middle 8's on the north stand at LSV, I will let u stand with me lol

and my opinion is similar to yours...we'll struggle to make the top 8 on current form, but its a long season so who knows.

another question we should be asking is " has Wane lost both the plot and the changing room". Seems a massive coincidence but I think most of us realised Millward had lost both after getting hammered at Cas. Deja vous possibly, but I hope I'm wrong

Course we bl00dy will

You lot

Honestly

Watch this and you will all feel much better
