Cas are nailed on for the 8, since Celtic have imploded and definitely won't win another game this season. So they'll get to 26 points whatever happens...

The key game is going to be Cats vs Wakefield, and Cats will obviously target this game since they won't want to have to rely on having to be beat Saints at Knowsley Road. With a week off to recover from their beating today and a fervent home crowd, I think they'll beat a Wakefield team who will possibly be resting players for the later Play Off games. That said, I wouldn't put it past Wakey to beat them - I didn't expect them to go to Warrington and win...

Harelequins have obviously bombed their chance, and I honestly think Wire will be settling for Cup glory. Maybe if Warrington win next week, they'll get some energy and momentum for their last 2 games, but I doubt they'll make it.

So we're now down to

Round 26:
Bulls beat Salford
Wakefield beat Catalans
Cas beat Harlequins
Hull KR beat Warrington (Warrington will have played in CC final the week before)

Round 27:
Bulls beat Hull FC
Saints beat Catalans

Round 26 is the key. If all 4 results go our way, then it's looking very, very good!

Yes. Absolutely. Wakefield are already sure of their place. Catalans know they only need to win this one to make sure. Tough.

Wakey owe us one for 2006.

I think you will do it if you win your remaining 2.
Warrington, Catalan and London have difficult ends to the season.

Why do they?

Is it for taking Solomona off their hands?

The Catalans v Wakefield game is definitely the potential stumbling block. With Wakefield confirmed in a play off spot you'd expect them to ease back a bit, but then momentum is the key to a good play off run and no side in the top eight can really afford to put in a poor performance.

I would be suprised to see Wakefield ease off, just because they know they will make the 8. They will want a good run into the playoffs and also to finish in 5th rather than 6th if they can.

Kear has stated on the official site that a top 6 finish is paramount, dont there will be any less effort now than a few weeks ago.

Haven't they bagged at least 6th already?

sneak in 8th for me.

Barring a large reversal of points difference, yep.

Sorry guys the odds are really stacked against you I just cant see you making it.

Theres a lot of clinging and straws that come to mind that said there is hope as for 2006 its when Wakey were out for the vount and we beat you at Odsal and cas lost to Salford we then relegated Castleford.

I believe you left in 1 week too late guys, I think you will finish 1 point short of the play-offs. Good Luck though.
