If someone with time on their hands could please tell me what results have to happen for us to make the top providing we win our final few matches ?

Since the other thread was kind of hijacked and turned into this, I thought it better to have a thread that is clear it's actually for this and people know where it is then.

So, I'll try and keep this up to date as much as I can.

Bulls (slim) chances of making it
1) If Bulls lose to either of Catalans(h), Salford(h) or Hull FC(a), they can't make the playoffs.

2) If the Bulls win all their games then it will down to other teams games. What other teams need to do to avoid being caught by us:

Cas

We need Catalans to lose to Wakefield and then use and then St Helens.

It could happen.

It may well happen. The only one in all honesty that looks sure fire to make it are Cas. Quins and Wire could well lose enough to help us out.
Here's hoping anyway.

cas got thoroughly spanked by leeds at the weekend, might knock their confidence somewhat?

Think they will still manage to beat Celtic though.

Like we did at home....oh hang on!

Especially considering rlthisrl news.

Obviously Bradford must win their remaining games. I think we can assume Cas will beat Celtic, so they are safe. So the most likely route to the Bulls making 8th spot is (IMO):

Round 25:
Bulls beat Catalans
Wakefield beat Warrington

Round 26:
Bulls beat Salford
Wakefield beat Catalans
Cas beat Harlequins
Hull KR beat Warrington

Round 27:
Bulls beat Hull FC
Saints beat Catalans
Warrington beat Harlequins

Bulls would end up in 8th in this scenario!

The other option is if Hull FC beat Harlequins, then in Round 27 Harlequins beat Warrington.

I don't think Warrington will be fielding that strong of a team anyway, especially with the final coming up.

I hope they have doctors' certificates.

Huddersfield have said they're going to field a weakened team against Saints this weekend too.

i don't think it matters so much now because the clubs announce their squad, you know who you're going to be playing. The Brian Noble quote still sticks in my mind!
