With 4/5 games to go who will finish where? Wire for me have the hardest fixtures playing wigan sts cas (away) and wakey with their form they have a lot to do!

I think we will win 3 which will hopefully be enough

Leeds 33pts
Saints 30pts
Wigan 29pts
Hudds 28pts
Cas 26pts
Catalan 22pts
Hull fc 22pts
Hull kr /wire 20pts

If fridays owt to go by, wire were awful, and i cant see them winning any of the aforementioned fixtures

I'll be a bit more worried if Mini is injured for a while and Sneyd gets a long ban, particularly Sneyd.

Losing Sneyd and Mini would be a massive hit for us, if Radford was playing tactically resting players then taking mini out at least could have being an option given how much he's played and the intensity he's been at.
They'll just have to front up, go in with the winning mentality in every game and forget they are missing vital cogs.

Welcome to our world, missing vital clogs all season. Be interesting to see how you get on without these.

Unexpectedly Wakefield can determine how things turn out. A few weeks back I'd have said two points for everyone who plays them (and that might still happen). But the appointment of Smith and showing some fight for the first time in a long time vs Catalans away means they could spoil someone's chances.

They play Hull twice and Warrington at home also. Got a funny feeling they'll pick up a win in one of the home games which will mess someone up. Then depends of whether HKR or Widnes can catch up. Widnes' home form was crucial so to lose to Hudds on Sunday with a man advantage for most of the game could be the end of their chances. So down to three of Hull, HKR and Warrington for me (Catalans should pick up the points at home to see them ok).

Looking at the fixtures I'll say whoever loses the Hull Derby misses out on top 8 and is in the middle with Widnes, Salford and Wakey.

I can see us loosing one game against wakefield they did look a lot more structured and organised against Catalan! Hopefully we can beat Rovers away but I can see a win against Wigan in our final home game being massive. With any luck their final league position will be confirmed and will have nothing to play for.

Points are carried over for the top eight.

didnt realise that! that makes the rovers away game vital

Without mini, sneyd and possibly pryce I doubt we'll make the 8. Radford should have rested players yesterday. Now we could lose 3 of the 4 crucial games

Not always a fan of throwing the young kids in, but with snyed out, I'm hoping they'll give Reece Dean a go at 7, been outstanding this season and can kick a goal, decent kicking game to

Wakey are due a win !!!!

So are salford

They won at Wakey a couple of weeks ago.

SAdly for us I could see this coming down to points difference, the debacle at Wigan could come back to haunt us.

People seem to think we will beat Wakefield but after seeing them play and like someone else said a new coach I'm not that confident and hope the players don't think it's going to be easy

Here he is, fabricator in chief.

Thank god for that, must have imagined or goal difference.

Not talking about that. You said on the other forum I claimed McGuire had faked an injury. If you're going to lie, at least do it to my face.

You're the one quoting that he'll play Friday and McDermott using the event to his advantage.

They played well at Catalan and were level in the game up to 72 mins.
One thing Brian Smith did at Hull when he arrived was create a team that could defend.
Seems to be happening quickly at Wakefield.It wouldn't surprise me if we lose the Leeds match on Friday for our season to go tits up and lose to Wakefield.

That's the spirit, look to the positive. Even as disappointing as we have been the last two games, if we play to that standard we will beat them.

I bet your fingers are crossed for that.

Bumpy's petition will probably make a comeback.

play our strongest team at wakey, both teams will need to back up on sunday, thats where radford needs to change the line up

id rather be playing wakey twice than salford who are getting players back


hopefully by the time the derby comes along we will be in a position to play without the pressure of needing a win
