Looks like we have the following:

At Home: Wigan ,Hudd, Wire, Hull

Away: Leeds, Cas, Catalans

What dates who knows?

Dates announced on Wednesday.

He's right. We play home to 3,4,6 and 7. Away to 1,5 and 8.

Finishing top 2 is massive for us now. Wigan are woeful away from home so finishing above them could prove vital in getting to Old Trafford.

I don't think Cats away is a fair reward for where we are. Even Hull has them at home..... but that's the formula so no point moaning.

The only advantage from finishing in top four is the extra home game.

Depends when we play them, if its at the back end of the fixtures they could be in the position where they can't qualify for top 4, if that scenario pops up they might put the "cue on the rack" for the season. This could happen with all the bottom 4 teams, once the fixture dates comes up we can see the scenario variants.

I think we should make top four now. We 6 points ahead of cas and 8 points ahead of Warrington. We'd have to have a awful run in super 8s not to make top four and Cas and Warrington would need to win nearly all their games.

That and the points we've already amassed obviously. It's up to those in 5th-8th to catch us now so it's not like the first 23 games have been for nothing.

Yes and I think we have amassed enough points with few more wins to make the semis now. I think the format is pretty good. It does keep every game a must win for every single team.

Look at the middle 8s today, it was last game of the season and Widnes, salford and hull KR battling out to finish 9th and 10th for those extra home games. In years gone by it would have been a nothing game.

Yeah I agree mate.

Without sounding over-confident I think we will be fine for top 4; it's the top 2 we should really be pushing for now.

Agreed.

Is the league leaders sheild scrapped now or does the team top after super 8s win it ?

League Leaders Shield played over 30 matches now.
