Couldn't agree more. Leeds have never bought a sucessful team, buying bigname players destroys morale of the academy lads and the best look elswhere.

The trouble is if you don't give the lads game time they will never improve. Jack Sinfield springs to mind as a case in point. Being kept out of the team by bang average players on a huge salary and the coach must feel obliged to pick them.

I think the only chance Leeds have now, as I can't see us winning the last 2 , is to nick one and hope Leigh lose at home to HKR and Saints. Though the form Leigh are in they could easily beat Saints.

Catalans in poor form but their remaining games are London and Hull so can see them finishing above us

as a Wigan fan just popped onto the board pre our game at weekend

it s interesting to see the battle for top6 and that both Saints and Leeds could miss out

i've gone for Wigan with 42/44 points, KR 40/42, Wire 40, Salford 32/34, Leigh 31, then Saints, Catalan with 30 and Leeds with 28/30 as i've a feeling you'll poss beat KR if we tie up the league leaders shield this weekend

as a Wigan fan i'm hoping we play full strength from now one, and take our last 2 league games as must win to build some form and momentum going into the play offs

Catalan have on paper the easiest run in with Hull FC and London, and that may get them some points difference too and make 6th
Salford have Hull this weekend so should confirm their place in the play offs before playing Wigan next week
Leigh have 2 interesting games v KR and Saints, so could drop out the top6, but as one of your posters has said could quite easily turn Saints over too
Saints should beat Cas, and the game v Leigh could be a cracker if it means one of them dropping out, and there's some bad blood there from previous games too
Wire have the easiest games out of the top 3, but cant see both Wigan and KR slipping up to allow Wire to finish top
you've 2 tough games v Wigan and KR, and as i said above, if Wigan win this weekend, then KR my look to rest a couple and you beat them. Note i'm by no way taking Leeds lightly this weekend, and we'll need to perform to get a result

If my sort of prediction pans out then that leaves Leeds, Saints and Catalan all tied on 30 points, so down to points difference for th efina play off spot

Realistically, Leeds have to win at least one and hope Leigh lose both their games and Catalans don't catch our points difference. Shame the Catalan game isn't at London as that could have been a potential banana skin.

I think Salford will secure their play off spot this weekend and we will struggle to overtake Saints if they beat Cas with their much better points difference. Leigh and Catalans are our only chances, albeit I think it will be unlikely to finish ahead of both of them.

Obviously if Wigan and KR both win this weekend, then the league leaders is still all to play for the following weekend which makes our final match against KR even tougher.

While it's still mathematically possible for us to make the top 6, we're relying on other results to go our way, and given the upcoming fixtures for other teams, it's unlikely we'll advance. But the season isn’t over yet! We need to keep pushing, show some fight, and prove that we’re an exciting club on the pitch. Everyone knows we have the best facilities in the league—now it’s time to show the hunger and desire to match
