Of course they can. Let's hope they don't

Catalans into the top 8 - so its us or Wakey

Wakefield will beat Hull FC tomorrow putting us out of our misery.We don't deserve to be in the top 8. The players haven't performed this season full stop. Supporters talking about last night's fantastic game, come on, we beat the bottom side in the league. Two teams with the poorest form.
Two weeks to go and the season will be dead and buried. Anyone who honestly believes we will win the semi-final needs to book a visit to the nearest head shrink.

Where has anyone ne called last nights game fantastic ? It was a step in the right direction, if we end up in tbr middle 8s thats where we deserve to be, but we do look better and i feel we’ll be fine in the middle 8s. We did have a chance of winning the semifinal i hope we do i get the feeling you hope we don’t

If you are in the middle eights I would forecast the top 4 positions as being filled by Leeds Toronto Hull K.R. and Toulouse with Toulouse winning the million pound match. Salford and Widnes on their performances in the last 2 days are done for.

I also think Toronto and Toulouse will come up. I think that comp will be much tougher than some realise, and hope we get it together now before we face it.

I think Leigh will be a bigger threat than Toulouse in middle 8s. Today's Championship results will give a good indication of who will make the 4.

There’s a good chance Leigh won’t be in the competition.

I believe this middle 8’s competition will be the most competitive one yet.

Agree about Leigh, they appear to have 2 nailed on wins to come which should see them in the top 4. Huge game for Fev today, they need a win as their last match is away at Toronto.

Assuming we are in the middle 8's, Toronto, HKR and Salford at home and Widnes away look certain fixtures (if I understand correctly).

To be decided at home to 3rd in championship and away at 2nd and 4th. Could be away at Toulouse and London (another plastic pitch). Hoping for Halifax away as not been in years.
Widnes & Salford look poor at moment but they having nothing to play for now, they are playing to pay the mortgage in August, so I'd expect a reaction from both.
With travel and plastic pitches thrown in the mix it will be an interesting series and could get controversial.

Wakey tonking Hull. We're in the bottom four again.

Well, despite having a few players back Hull seem to be imploding at Wakey. Middle 8s it is then.

We are where we deserve to be.

Lessons not learned etc.

Hopefully now with some new blood in the decision making areas we can start the climb back to the top.

Got what we deserved this year sub standard retention/recruitment & lack of any plan when injuries hit proving costly.
A new Coach & at least 3 more quality signings needed.

At least if needed we can rest a few against Salford for the semi final the week after.

At LEAST 3 of quality is the bare minimum IMO to just get back competing in the top 4 next season.
