After last night at Wigan, two points V Les Catalans (on its own) doesn't secure 5th spot for Leeds though.
If Huddersfield win both their remaining games and Leeds only win one, Huddersfield go above Leeds on points difference short of a miracle blow-out in our favour.
Leaving Leeds having to win at the KC for probably 4th but if they lose perhaps only collecting 6th.
Not sure where that leaves the play-off permutations other than a likely home game V Hull KR instead of Crusaders or Castleford. Beyond that lord knows for now. |

I think 5th is pretty unlikely. 4th or 6th for me

True, just had a proper look at the table. If we lose and Hull win we're up against it, given Huddersfield's remaining fixtures.
Definitely going to be crunch time at the KC (and I'm not talking about the residents of Borstal Corner's Monster Munch......) |

| Quote: FearTheVee "One within a team's control, the other not.
'"
What is in a team's control is having players within your team and squad who can multi task. We have used 6 different players at half back this year.
Quote: FearTheVee "Make a handling error and you can negate the matter by defending well for an extra set. Defending well won't give you back a kicking game or two extra subs on the bench when you lose both halves mid-game.'" Having other players that can do those things will though and that is within your control.
Quote: FearTheVee "I'm sure if Leeds lose McGuire and Sinfield mid-game whilst in front at Wembley and Leeds go on to lose the match, you might think it had an teeny weeny impact on the game. Heck, it may even be a valid reason for a loss.'" It would and I would. Dominating the game territorially and in terms of possession but failing to complete every set would ALSO have a very large impact on the game would it not?
Why are you so precious about your excuse for losing being the only valid reason a team can lose? There are lots of reasons a team can lose. Rain, cameras in dressing rooms, opposition players whooping etc etc, |

At least its interesting!! I can see Huddersfield losing against Salford next week esp if Mason and Griffin get a ban!! From our point of view I hope you need to go into the Hull game to win meaning that we will either get you coming off the back of 2 big games or Hull coming off the back of having played you in a big game! Dont think Hull have it in them to beat you then us on the bounce |

That would compensate for last night but I really don't see it happening. |

I'm not being precious, nor have I ever said that.
If I was being precious I'd probably respond to an innoccuous post such as

Why would you respond to your own post?
You're very defensive about ensuring your excuses for losing are more valid than ours.

| Quote: Harrigan "...Actually worried me tonight.They are a poor mans Saints.
IMO when push comes to shove they will lose 2 playoff games in a row. I have never been as confident at winning the title as I am after tonights game. I know we lost and Wigan played well but TBF they were nothing near a championship winning team tonight to say they were "up" for this game. In the 1st match of the play offs at the DW I can see us winning quite convincingly.
Sorry Wigan... this isnt your year.
Leeds vs Saints final once again.'"
Touche!

It won't be a Saints Wire final!
If/When we Beat Hull 1st game up as we would get Club call and I'm convinced we would pick The winners of the Also-rans leaving Saints & Wolfs to battle it out in the other semi.
