Cats have been poor all season and still struggling KR made them look like a championship team. Think we will put a score on them Friday and we are two points behind and points difference greatly improved. I they play Wigan at home and Salford away after that and don’t see a win coming there either. If we beat London and Hull and we then find ourselves two points clear of them with two games to go anything can happen we might get Holroyd and Mick back last two games. We have beaten Wigan given Wire a run for there money and threw a winning lead away at Salford and Hull KR there’s still plenty to play for. As Arthur said plenty will prefer Leeds not to be in the mix season end ?

We have to score 4 more points in 5 games than one of the three sides on 26 points, and at least a point more than Leigh at the same time. Our points difference isn't great so we might even have to score more points than that. To have a shot we'll probably have to win at least four games as the worst of the teams 4 points ahead of us would only need to win 2 in the same time. If we don't win by much we'd likely have to win all five games to sneak in.

Of our remaining games we should beat Cats, London and Hull. We then play Wigan and KR, both away from home at a point when they'll be gearing up for play offs - the League Leadership might still be up for grabs for one or both as well.

The fact is that even though we're playing better under Arthur we've won 2 and lost 3. We look a better coached side but the fundamental problems of an undersized pack and lack of points still remain. Its not mathematically impossible yet, but it might be by the time we get to the last two games, even if we win the three beforehand.

Now you gave me a tenner.....

The way Catalans and Saints are playing, it is not inconceivable that both could drop out of the top 6. It isn’t likely but still possible that Leeds or Leigh could sneak in. Salford could also be vulnerable. I’m not running down to the bookies but stranger things have happened.

Nevermind the playoffs, we're getting top 4

Saints and Catalans are there for the taking right now.

Not according to the oracle that is Sam Tomkins

He has:
HKR
Wigan
Warrington
Saints
Cats
Salford

Not sure we will bet Wigan or KR but it`s not impossible.
Cats have got Hull and London to finish their season.
i do think had we beat Salford we would make the playoffs.

Keep harking back to it but the Salford defeat really did end our hopes.

We aren't a million miles off. Particularly with Farmer Arthur now signed up. 2025 will be a much better season

Four wins, maybe even three gets us in I think. While I'd love to see us rise like a Phoenix from the ashes and win the whole thing, for the greater good of the club it probably needs to play out the hard way. London and Hull in the next two matches should be comfortable wins, but we know how those type of fixtures went when Arthur wasn't at the helm. Winning those two games in a professional manner and then nailing performances ( not necessarily wins) against KR and the Pies really sets us up for a productive pre-season and a successful 25.

Won’t mean a lot for 25, think n some bring changes afoot…
