Bradford gave us Hockney, Leeds gave us Moyles.:731.jpg

Inconceivable.

Huddersfield will be the hardest game, but they may be focussing on the cup (I hope). Catalans and Salford should be wins if we play like the 1st half at Quins and Hull isn't impossible.


Come on you bulls, go unbeaten for the rest of the season, through the play-offs and become the first team to win the GF from eighth icon_wink.gif

Based on the season we've had, I predict we'll absolutely murder Huddersfield and Catalans, and then slip to a dismal defeat against Salford

Still, at least it will give us the Hull match to throw in some of the kids icon_cool.gif

when two opposite points of view are expressed with equal intensity, the truth does not necessarily lie exactly halfway between them. It is possible for one side to be simply wrong.:1589.jpg



Quote: Adeybull "I will reactivate my spreadsheet tonight - which I used to do precisely this a couple of weeks ago - and update and then report back - unless anyone else does it manually first. Alternatively, want me to send it to you Andrea?

Unless we win all 4 though, forget it. And even if we do, IIRC there may be just one or two permutations which would allow it - if that. Its likely a forlorn hope to be honest.'"


hang on to it for now. I'm not that convinced it'll still be valid this time next week!

Only one draw in the first 23 rounds of the season, and you predict there to be two more within the final 4 rounds.

This was how I had the final games (fixtures from bbc sport, I'm assuming they're correct)

Leeds WIN v Castleford
Wigan WIN v Warrington
Catalans Dragons WIN v Hull
Harlequins RL v Salford WIN
Huddersfield v Bradford WIN
Hull KR v St Helens WIN
Wakefield WIN v Celtic Crusaders

Hull WIN v Harlequins RL
Salford v Hull KR WIN
St Helens WIN v Huddersfield
Celtic Crusaders v Leeds WIN
Bradford WIN v Catalans Dragons
Castleford WIN v Wigan
Warrington v Wakefield WIN

Leeds v St Helens WIN
Wigan WIN v Hull
Catalans Dragons v Wakefield WIN
Celtic Crusaders v Huddersfield WIN
Bradford WIN v Salford
Harlequins RL v Castleford WIN
Hull KR WIN v Warrington

Hull v Bradford WIN
Salford v Leeds WIN
St Helens WIN v Catalans Dragons
Castleford v Celtic Crusaders WIN
Huddersfield WIN v Wigan
Wakefield WIN v Hull KR
Warrington WIN v Harlequins RL

That makes the following changes to the points...
St Helens 36 + 8 = 44
Leeds 34 + 6 = 40
Huddersfield 32 + 4 = 36
Hull KR 29 + 4 = 33
Wigan 24 + 4 = 28
Wakefield 24 + 8 = 32
Castleford 24 + 4 = 28
Warrington 22 + 2 = 24
Harlequins RL 22 + 0 = 22
Catalans Dragons 22 + 2 = 24
Hull 18 + 2 = 20
Bradford 17 + 8 = 25
Salford 12 + 2 = 14
Celtic Crusaders 6 + 2 = 8

Making the final table something like

1 St Helens 44
2 Leeds 40
3 Huddersfield 36
4 Hull KR 33
5 Wakefield 32
6 Wigan 28
7 Castleford 28
8 Bradford 25
9 Warrington 24
10 Catalans Dragons 24
11 Harlequins RL 22
12 Hull 20
13 Salford 14
14 Celtic Crusaders 8

Obviously it's not going to happen but I will be checking the odds tonight when I get home.

Yes we know that. it's just interesting that despite our terrible season we're still just within touching distance of the top 8 and could technically still win the whole thing.

Shows how strange the play-off system is that a team which has spent the whole season only just avoiding being the worst in the league can still technically end up with the prize with only 4 regular season games to go.

Just sent one hardy soul who asked for it my spreadsheet. Put Andrea's "forecast" in (proves her numbers too, but no surprises there!). Its one of only a handful of permutations that would work.

Just DOES make you wonder what odds you'd get on an 8th finish now! I'd say about 100-1 at very best?!

What I find confusing is the thinking behind the logic of Warrington only winning one more game.

Logic borne of desperation, I suggest!

Especially when I fancy them to sneak Old Trafford. Bizarre, but they have a coach who knows how to get there and a squad that are improving week on week.

That's all it can be. Which ultimately makes this thread pointless. People aren't dealing with the facts objectively. It would be the same if the role's were reversed Warrington wouldn't win enough games.
