Quote: number 6 "What if wigan rest the lykes of tomkins, richards, farrell and o loughlin against catalan, a week before the cup final? catalan could take advantage!'"

That is a very real possibility and may scupper our chances. We'll just have to wait and see, for now all we can do is win our games and see what happens.

And to answer your earlier question, no the spreadsheet does not factor in points difference. Even FA isn't that optimistic icon_lol.gif

I just hope we don't lose out to Catalan on pd or by two competition points. Think back to who the Dragons played at the RFL joke concept magic weekend... That's right the SL whipping boys London. Whereas we got the SL leaders...Huddersfield.

Could end up costing us a fair bit of money if things get tight at the end. It'll be interesting to see what they decide for 2014 when clubs are battling to avoid relegation.

At least we have London at home in our run in, so while I have some sympathy for them and their fight to get established in the capital we really need to give them a good thrashing to boost our pd

I'm not going to bet the housing keeping on us making the 8. I think we've had our chance at it this year and not taken it. In reality we pretty much need to win every single remaining game to do it, and I'm not sure we've got the consistency in the team to do that.

I'm not doubting the heart and commitment of the players or coaches and I would love it if we managed to reach the play-offs. I'm just being pragmatic about our chances and the chances of the teams above us imploding enough to allow us to sneak in the back door. Unfortunately, I don't think we're going to get the luck Wakefield had last year and have a team go bust so we can jump them in the table.

If - a short word with a lot of meaning - we win the next three games we should be well placed and it could well be that our final game of the season against Huddersfield will decide both if we get into the playoffs, and if they win the valuable enamelled tea tray for comiing top of the table after the end of the regular season. With all that at stake we could even see away fans in double figures?

If we're lucky!

I really hope that game is an important one, and it looks like it will be. Can't wait to see the reception Kopczak will get.

Might be better for us if they are already hub cap winners or better still, confirmed they cant finish any higher and rest a load of players for play offs!!

Quote: number 6 "does this famous spread sheet take points difference into account? you need a 100+ points swing to go above fc if that's how its predicted'"


No. Obviously, as it is based simply on predicting RESULTS. Not scores. As you don't put predicted scores in, how would you expect to get points differences out? icon_confused.gif

Unless there is a tie for 8th, in which case it's not hard to work it out for yourself, PD doesn't matter. It answers one simple question, are we predicted in the top 8 or not?

How does the table end up if you put in your predictions for the remaining results, out of interest?

Apart from the kudos, and getting at least one more game, is there any "Prize money" for finishing in the top 8?
Just wondered in light of our finances.

It means we can remain in with a chance of making the GF. There's a few bob in that.

We will finish 7th or 8th, i think the bulls will miss out but only just

As for that prediction forcaster, its a load of tosh! Bulls cant finish above fc without taking into points difference, even you can work that 1 out!

When my club didn't exist it was still bigger than yours:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_8.jpg



It doesn't take into account points difference and is pretty obviously sorting on alphabetical order of team names given equal points. You can't work out the rest on your own?

No problem we are going to win all our remaining games this year. Back to back 50 point thrashings of Huddersfield and ending with a stunning victory over the Rhinos at Old Trafford - who have been playing their usual game of hiding in 4th spot before trying to sneak into the GF. Massive influx of new sponsorship and FC signs Sonny Bill Williams to replace Langley!
Just discovered the company is putting happy pills in the tea urn to maintain staff morale.
