Could be a blessing in disguise, knowing that they can,t fall back on Wilkin for this game, which means Walsh/Burns have to come up with the goods in the creativity department.

Playing that role turned what had been a lacklustre season around.

When is Vea back?

Lordy! We sure do need him.

Some time in August according to previous posts I believe.

Well from the result tonight, it's all on again.

Every second counts is becoming more and more a realistic prospect as opposed to simply a tag line.

3 games to stay in the top 4.

Win this week and we could be aiming back for top spot.

Lose and we could struggle to make the 4.

Can't really call this season predictable. 3 games to go and most places are still up for grabs

I don't think we will make top spot as Leeds have Salford and the Dragons (at Leeds) as their final two games. So even if by some miracle we win our final three games, Leeds won't lose to Salford or Catalan. The best we can do this year IMO is second.

And to do that we would have to improve dramatically on last weeks showing

But the season doesn't end in two weeks. There are seven more fixtures after that before we arrive at the final standings (in the top 8, at least).

True, but I was focusing on the top spot before the split. Home advantage from top spot maybe telling in the super 8's
