Shudds v Hull
Hull KR v Warrington
Salford v Cas
Leeds v Widnes

So if they are all away wins we're safe unless Salford get their points back. Beating Saints would be a bonus.

Or we could hope for Salford and Leeds wins to keep Widnes and Cas below us?

I'd rather do it over 2 rounds with Hull Warrington Salford and Leeds winning.
With Leeds and Salford losing next time.

Your safe in the 8s we've got to play Hudds and Leeds yet

We just need to beat Saints and get on a roll again

The players will be buzzing from getting to the semi final so can definitely see us winning at home v sts. then take it easy until the semi final.

Don't think we should ease off. We need to keep the momentum going.

They need to sort this Salford appeal out!

As usual, the RFL will leave it too long and leave themselves open to claims of favoritism or, the may be hoping that Salford finish more than 6 points adrift of the top 8.
This will mean that MarwanK can keep hold of his money and The RFL are seen to do "the right thing".

Having said that, with the 6 points deducted, it will certainly affect whether they finish 9/10 or 11/12, which in turn will make their "middle 8" contest slightly trickier.
However, they will still be too strong for any of the Championship contenders.

Has it got anything to do with the RFL?
They won their case and the panel sitting in judgement lean't towards the RFL, job done as far as they're concerned, it was Salford what appealed so my way of thinking is it will be up to Salford to discredit any evidence the RFL put forward which won't be any different to the last time and so maybe they won't be needed, but it certainly needs sorting immediately for all concerned.

the rfl will leave it until the last round of games

'every minute matters' isn't it?

Are we saying that Salford have not yet appealed and that we are all waiting for MarwanK to make the next move or, is an appeal already lodged, in which case it would be down to the governing body to det an appeal hearing ?

Appeal is already lodged and is to be heard by an independent review panel.

League Express say they have a date for Salford hearing in tomorrow's edition. Dr K doesn't seem to be aware based on his Twitter feed

Are they hoping he doesn't attend.

win on sunday and this all want matter

It will still matter because if Salford get all their points back, even if we win on Sunday and they lose they will still be able to catch us bearing in mind our points difference is far worse than theirs. In addition, they get all their points back and win their game this week and they would be 2 points behind us with 3 games left (and that's assuming we win on Sunday)

All the more reason for this farce to be expedited by the RFL; currently, the teams in an and around Salford, and Salford themselves, can't plan properly or have any faith in the table and their relative positions within it.

I can't imagine that they're waiting for the final pre-split positions so they can influence it with a points reinstatement - but the longer they leave it, the more they open themselves up to criticism of that being the case. The RFL have a spectacular knack for scoring own-goals in the PR department.

Date for hearing is 4th July according to Salford forum

just say they get all their points back- do you think it will be us that drop into the bottom 4?

I am thinking we are going to struggle to win any of 4 games left- our best chance is the 2 home games

I think it's the 14th.

The good news is that the good Doctor is planning to present it himself. That firstly suggests that he's been told he doesn't have a case. Secondly, it means the panel will be presented with a rambling incoherent rant for a while before they tell him to go away.

Salford, Cas and Widnes would all have to win one more game than us for that to happen.

My understanding is the 14th is the date re the crowd trouble at Huddersfield and 4th is re the points appeal

Sorry, yes, you're right.
