Confident of beating Widnes & Catalans at home, don't expect a victory at Warrington, as poor as they've been.

I honestly believe that Widnes will be to fast for you to contain to keep their score lower than what you will achieve and I consider that we will see a resurgence
In Catalan, I agree with you though re Warrington, unless by that stage they have already achieved and over celebrated winning the mini comp.

| Quote: Harry Stottle "Yes I am more leaning to this suggestion, I think that HKR haven't flattered to decieve, OK good on them they have got the victories but has anything been convincing, scraped home against 2 fellow Champ clubs and beat a totally pathetic Leigh team with no conviction or organisation, I to think they will finish on 8 points and play either Leigh or Widnes in the MPG whoever wins next weekend. Cats will come to, Wire are safe.'"
Does it have to be convincing? We beat a totally pathetic Leigh team with no conviction who then went to France and hammered a Catalan team that I'm ure would have been heavy favourites without the use of hindsight.
If we beat Fev (not a certainty) we will then have a run of 3 games to essentially just pick up a point. Even wire could be there for the taking as hopefully they'll be 6 from 6 by then and on the beach.

Catalan have been stuffed by both Warrington and Leigh and just squeezed passed London. Widnes are very likely to beat them, we have a good chance and Fax might turn them over as well. Widnes looking OK at the mo and seem to have come good at the crucial time.
We haven't been convincing but 3 from 3. All to play for including Fax. Just hoping we can keep going.

If HKR beat Catalans in the league then I think they'll make top 3 as 10 points has been the total to get in previous years. Think it'll be whoever loses the match between Leigh and Widnes who end up in the MPG vs Catalans.

| Hull KR v Catalans in the penultimate round is shaping up to be an MPG in its own right. I reckon the winner will be in SL and the loser will get beat by Leigh in the MPG.

| Widnes Like Rovers have had a kind start to the 8's. There's a tough run of games for them now. A couple of easy victories against championship sides doesn't change my mind about them. Mentally weak team that buckle under pressure. Pressure that hasn't been evident the last few weeks.

If HKR beat Fev away and Widnes at home which is possible then they'll be qualified before the Catalans game.

Mentally weak and buckle under pressure can be said of some of the others too.

| Hull KRs final game against Warrington is also working in their favour - playing Wire in the final game when there's a good chance they will already be safe. If Hull KR still have something to play for at that point it could be an important 2 points.

Although you may be right, Warrington is not the game you want to play needing any points for survival or, to avoid the MPG.
Wire have massively underperformed this season but they are capable of good things, remember the World Club Series.

| Even if Wire are safe by the time they play HKR they will no doubt want to give Gidley and Sims a decent send off as it will be their final game so might not take it so lightly. That said we don't have a great track record of sending players off with a win so who knows?!

| If Fax can take the best from their games against Wire and HKR then beating the Dragons in the next game is a real possibility. If HKR beat Fev and Wire beat London at the same time, then the bottom 4 would all have 1 or 2 points with 3 games to go.
If Fax lose again, then the gap between 5th and the rest will probably be too much to overcome.
To be honest, it does look most likely that two from Leigh/Widnes/Catalans will be competing in the MPG, but wins for Fev and/or London of course throw up different possibilities.
