Well it's possible. I'd be rather surprised though to say the least.

until it's mathematically impossible then everything is possible, is it probable...perhaps not

here's hoping

I don't think it is at all likely. To get 4th, we'd have to accumulate a lot more league points than every other competitor for 4th spot, so are starting from in most cases a significant handicap.

I thought despite being in a rebuilding phase, 4th might just have been achievable had we satrted the season well, but I'd reckon we've given ourselves too much to do.

Add into the mix the injury problems we've got, Solomona probably not going to be featuring, the promising Crookes eliminated from the centres, Deacon's recurring problems, the absence of Morro etc., and it would start to look like expecting a minor miracle.

Realistically what I'd like is to settle down to less of a mercurial level of performance, improve on errors and ball retention and discipline, and probably top of the list, sort out the defensive frailties. (Though of course Wagga, Solo and Morro being out doesn't help that either). More games where we can walk away, win lose or draw, not feeling choked or apoplectic or just plain baffled.

And I'd love to see some of the young 'uns getting fair opportunities to come in from time to time and show what they can do (and not, as some were advocating, be thrown to the lions away at Saints)

Quote: yougengis "And yet your attack is waning, you've scored only 40 points more than the "garbage" bulls. Face it, your bubble has burst and your on the slide.'"


if our defence was shocking i would perhaps agree. but really its just wishful thinking on your part. your prayers have not be answerd yet my bulls friend.

until the quins game our attack was as good as anyone around us(saints not included)

saints have shipped 70 odd points in 2 games. theres no crisis there.

agreed leeds need to work on the attack. but its more go forward and kicking game related. put our backs at the right end of the field and we will be ok. we did just rip hudds appart in attack 12 days ago so im optamistic

Sums things up rather well IMO.

If we see some increased consistency, improvement and eradication of errors then that's good. If we see a few of the kids get a chance too that would be good.

Top 4 would be a minor miracle when you consider who's missing and our lack of consistency so far this season.

Hmmm.
The odds for a Top-4 finish are notionally rl6/1rl

But . . . if you haven't bet with them before then they will match your stake up to £20.

What the [ieffect[/i is, for the uninitiated is to make the odds on this bet 12/1. I still doubt we will do it, but at 12/1 it is far too big odds for me to resist, plus I am betting with considerable sums of the bookies' money in light of recent events. And so I have had a bit of that.
