6th is progress, many predited a 6th place finish, we have a home tie in the play offs against th giants, if we do beat them it could be another trip to the south of france! if wigan beat saints next week and catalan beat the bulls, catalan will finish 3rd and play warrington, the loser playing the winner of the fc v giants game

2 crazy games - Manchester we were robbed and Wakefield we were a disgrace. Add in Widnes and there's our 6 point boost up to fourth. All teams can say the same - 6th is a decent return for this season with more points than last but we don't need to do that much more to be 3rd/4th minimum.

I think there was a poll on here at the start of the season to predict the finishing position and sixth had the mosts votes.

It's step one for me - a play off win is a must as a sign of improvement from last year.

A few dodgy performances has cost us a higher place, but I guess we'll always get them... Could of easily won them 3 games and lost at Saints, the Leeds game and against Wire 1st game of season and we would of been in the same kinda position anyway... (Ok be it a point better off)

6th is a good bench mark for this season, injurys, transitional period etc...

Just looking forward to some announcments and next season really... And with what Leeds did last year, who knows eh...!!!

Apart from a couple of weeks when we had no team we have been unbeaten at home, only Wigan and Hudds have beaten us at the KC. As said 4 poor away games (salford, manchester, widnes and wakey) were the difference between a good season and a great season.

spot on..!

Anyone know likely day of our first play off game?

James Smailes said it would likely be the Sunday.

if we beat cas by 100 and Leeds get hammered we can go 5th...

Don't think I'd want 5th. Of the teams below us in the playoff hunt, Huddersfield are in by far the worst form.

I hope Leeds finish 5th though. If we do get past the first round, I fancy out chances against Saints or Catalans away more than Leeds.

Agree..!

If we can make it thru 1st Playoff i'd rather go to Saints or Catalans, Leeds always seem to do us over...

If I could pick opponents I'd go Hudds at home then away to Saints....... only my opinion mind

Happy with 6th given where we are.

Now we just need a play-off win and I'll count this as a successful season overall.

Wont be a saturday

At the start of the season I predicted a top 6 finish and hopefully win a play off game, we were starting fresh with new players and a new head coach. At one point did think that top 4 wouldn't be unrealistic but think its been a good season (better than 2010) with next year looking better.

a win next week would mean only 1 home league defeat all season, obvious where we need to improve for next year but we showed yesterday that we can put in a great performance away from home

Said I expected and would be happy with 6th before the season started and I'll stand by that. Throw in some good recruitment and at least 1 play-off win and I'll be over the moon. Overall I think Gentle's done very well in his first season.

You'll be canon fodder for whoever you get in the play-offs.

Bitter Ye NOT!

Unlike you, of course. Oops my mistake, your season's over isn't it!!

You must be well pleased you've avoided such a fate then.

This from the poster who said

Take it on the chin Brucie, just like your missus does

at lest we will give a good game good game.

Shame that home defeat was a record for point conceded by us in a game at the KC!
Considering our injuries, to have a home record like that is pretty amazing. We just need to learn how to travel now.

I tipped 6th and also said aim should be top six so happy with that. A win against Hudds in the playoffs and a competitive game away from home after that and i'll be happy.

Yeah, so will Rovers.

Oh, wait...
