Poor home fixtures for crowds also, pretty much no away supper, I'd like to start with Cas away, hopefully play Leeds/Saints and Warrington around wembley.

Our home form has been dire so probably better that we have 4 away games. We're not going to make the top 4 so we just need to give it a good shot. I'd still take 7 defeats in the super 8's over the worry of relegation

So would I!

Nothing to lose in the 8's for me, opportunity to have a good crack at it.

Rovers games (in no particular order):

Home at:
Bradford Bulls (beat them away)
Salford Red Devils (beat them at home, lost away)
Wakefield Trinity Wildcats (beat them at home, lost away)
Halifax

Away at:
Widnes Vikings (beat them at home, lost away)
Leigh Centurions
Sheffield Eagles

I think the fixtures are 50:50 for them. They've lost to all of the SL sides away, so only playing one of them away is favourable. However, there's still potential to lose at home to Salford (who nearly did them a few weeks ago) and a resurgent Wakefield. Then there's Leigh away, which is a coin flip!

They're currently in a poor run of form. They could be distracted by the cup (if they get to the final, it could be a hindrance to their survival!). 3 defeats would certainly see them in the million pound game.

Rovers will be fine they will win all their home games and Sheffield away, 5 wins will be enough. The only chance would be if they got wembley, even then they would still win 4 games.

Salford & Wakey will not be easy!

Can see them in the 'million pound game' with Wakey.

Widnes
Salford
Leigh
Rovers
Wakey
Bradford
Sheffield
Halifax

Wakey will be easy at home, I think they will finish top 3 comfy.

I'd love you to be right though.

Should go all out to finish 5th, think we could catch Cas and Warrington.

Gale has a suspected broken jaw (rumoured bad Westwood tackle) and look a bit out if form, hopefully Warrington will be at a Wembley.

I think most Hull fans would be happy with 5th.

I'd be happy with 6th if i'm honest.

Me too.

Would still get some claiming this didn't represent progress vs last season.

we could finish 4th and there still would

And all those who carp on about the heady heights of two 6th place finishes under Uncle Peter would have to shut the fook up.
Unlikely for me though.
The loss of our captain for the Super 8's is massive unfortunately.

Catalan and hudds at home are winnable, yes hudds did us over at home but we are certainly capable of beating them

cas is winnable, been unfortunate not to win at their ground the last two seasons, we've already beaten saints and wire away, albeit a saints team with no backs hardly but still had a far superior pack on paper, so if we can repeat a win at either of those that would be a more than acceptable finish to the season

Every day of the week. I think we'll win 2 or 3. Shame we have key players missing.

If gale is out cas won't win many games

The fixtures will be announced at 8am on Wednesday

Would be a tad difficult to justify that position though.

For me, 6th would be a decent effort given the loss of Ellis and Pryce.

6th or 7th is a massive improvement on last year imo

Hope so.
