Probably no such thing as a 'guaranteed' win but realistically you would have to put Harlequims down as a real 4 pointer as well as Salford.

If we catch Catalans on a bad day the same as the Quims did then we could be looking at another win there. Playing them in France might be a different kettle of fish though.

So thats 10 points pretty much in the bag.

Looking forward to seeing how we have come on against Hull to judge how competitive we will be against the proper sides though. Hopefully we will do better than we did at Wigan.

I like how "might" becomes 10 points in the bag. If you catch Cas on a cold day, or Bradford the week after a big match you "might" win those too, let's call that another 8 points then ...

Stick us down for 2 against Leeds Away too, they might have injuries. Saints might go easy on us Home and Away because they can't be bothered.

24 points in the bag.



Cmoooonnn, couple more wins and we're off to the playoffs butt!!

Tbh, you're getting a decent shot at Hull on Sunday, it looks like Horne and Long will be out, so our halves will probably a Turner/Washbrook combo, which must strike fear into your heart!

Basically, it seems as if you'll be against a weakened FC

Am I the only one who thinks these threads are ridiculous.

No, I think they are ridiculous as well but not as ridiculous as the OP (I'm sure it's Pete / Bazza in disguise)

You got thrashed by Wigan and Leeds? You did beat us but it was possibly the worse performance i ever seen us put in so don't get your hopes up.

unlucky against leeds tonight

nope. They are as daft as it's author.

Iolo stop bieng a mong ffs!

getting the excuses in early I see

no but you lot have a better chance of beating us with long and horne out simple.

I think the poster was pointing out that our 2 h/backs will be missing, this is not an excuse



I can see a lot of posters of various teams coming back to haunt you over the season

As long as we beat the minor teams in the competition like Salford and Harlequims home and away thats probably all we can hope for this season. Catalans arent doing well this season either, hopefully they will still be as bad as they were when Harlequims played them.

Hopefully we will start getting wins against the bigger clubs sooner rather than later though

But not you huh??

I reckon 20 points would be a good (yet achieveable) target for you this year.

Teams will say they were very poor against you and i've said elsewhere you lack penetration but your discipline and defence yesterday were top notch. It's frustrating for the opposition when they cant be piggybacked up the field on numerous occasions

I'm delighted with the result against Hull FC, I really didnt think we would win that one.

Reinforces my point that we should be guaranteed home and away wins against the likes of Harlequims and Salford if we can beat good teams like FC

Quins arent as weak as you'd believe.
by no means good but theyve had preparation as bad as you and a lot of early injuries. you've a chance of picking 2 maybe 4 points up but they aren't bankers. Can the Crusaders back up week after week? im not sure

I have always considered the Quins to be complete and total 'bankers'

so lolo how did you rate out defence?

Two wins against Quins? You must be Cruising for a fall!

So why do you think it wont be 2 wins for us?

Dont think there are any guaranteed wins for any team this year. But Crusaders are improving with every game they play i would hope for at least 10 wins this season.

No chance tbh, we'll see but no way they'll hit ten.
Seven or eight would be a great improvement, hope im wrong though

After watching Wigan score against Warringtons invisible defence I think I will add the Wolves to the list including Salford and the Quims
