I said a couple of weeks ago the top 4 will be the current top 4, it's 13 games away but it would have to take either a team totally collapsing or an unexpected huge upturn in form from saints (and they looked awful without walsh) all of which is very unlikely.

Wouldn't like to call the order of the 4 but wigan won't be helped with their current 'issues'.

Cas have the best chance of sneaking in the top 4.

Unless one team in the top 4 goes on a massive decline (can't see it) Top 4 now will be top 4 come the end of season. The only team that may collapse is Wigan due to focus being shifted due to off field issues.

One of Wire/FC/Catalans this year on the cup.

Massive game next week, not in the context of finishing top but in seeing where we both are.
Really looking forward to it, hope you bring the numbers over even though it's a pain in the backside of a drive.

I think cas are the only team likely to do it but would take a big dip in form from the current top 4. We could potentially go into the super 8's only needing 2 or 3 wins to be sure of a top 4 finish but we have some tricky games coming up including both cas and hudds away and rovers and leeds at home. On paper easier than playing the top teams but games we could well struggle in if our performance levels drop. I can see us winning 3 or 4 of the last 6 which would leave us in a strong position

I'd be happy with 4 plus wins, we should win both home games and you would expect us to win 50% of our away games on current form. 3 would be OK, anything less disappointing.

Top 2 gas to be the seasons aim at the end of the 8's to get a home semi, although I would take anywhere in the top 4 and a CC win.

but beat warrington next week and we might have the confidence to go unbeaten to the end of the regular season

20 points clear of Leeds. Unthinkable at the start of the season.

Its all been too much for poor Zak. He's wanting to be off!!

He's been getting off regularly by the sounds of it

Who's he signed for?

Cannot see us beating Warrington. We stopped their unbeaten league run and they will stop ours on Friday.

It has to come to an end one day, we need to play well from the off to have a chance.

Warrington have to be favourites, but you just can't write this Hull side off, I have been expecting us to lose a few times this year, but they keep proving me wrong and long may it continue.

2 points from either warrington or cas will do me. Two tough games.

I agree, and no injuries! as that cup tie is a potential season changer.

I have this horrible feeling that I can't get rid of. I think its confidence. I don't think we are playing as well as we could, we have a new halfback pairing that could gel and be great, and we have Frank to come back in and give us a massive boost.

Don't think cas are any great shakes this year. They'll be in the 8 but haven't played that well all year.

When is the hub cap given out, is it after 23 rounds or after round 30?? Can't remember from last year.

Must be after 30? Betting on regular season is 23 I think but the trophy is after 30.

It's about the same time the fight for relegation starts.

I thought that but then started doubting myself as in the previous set up it was at the end of the 'regular' season which would be 23 games.

Shouldn't you be behind the bar in Lennys.

Chomp.

It's after thirty. Leeds nicked it last season with Ryan Hall's late try against Huddersfield.

How can someone with easthulls intellect work anywhere?
