I know Widnes have had a fairly easy start, but their results suggest to me that they will be too strong for Hull KR. They are hammering Championship opposition. whereas Hull KR are only just sneaking past them. However, this experience of winning close games bodes well for Hull KR if they do end up in the MPG.

But when not if Halifax beat cats, fev and London we should be on 6 with the better points difference to make the mpg

I think last year the SL teams were racking up bigger wins over other Championship teams than what Leigh did but when time came to play Leigh the games felt different and a lot more tense and significant. Given they managed to go away to Leigh and win the other week then maybe HKR are not so much looking past the other Championship teams because they obviously can't afford to slip up against them but do have a bit more of a focus on those fixtures vs SL teams.

Just looking at table with 3 rounds left. Trying to work out scenarios and Possible points to be safe in top 3.That Widnes win I didn't really expect

I always thought we would win this game, we've beaten Leigh twice already this year.

Leigh and Catalan are under the cosh now, another loss puts either of them at best in the MPG and possibly straight down.

HKR will be looking over their shoulders now, they've got possibly the three toughest games to come so could find themselves finishing on 8 points with a couple of other sides. May all come down to points difference for the MPG.

No, the Widnes win today has really thrown the cat amongst the pigeons. It makes it difficult to call. Looking at the fixtures we have left:

Wire v Leigh = Wire
HullKR v Widnes = ?
Cats v Fev = Cats
London v Fax - doesn't matter

Leigh v Fax = Leigh
Fev v Wire = Wire
Hull KR v Cats = ?
Widnes v London = Widnes

London v Leigh = Leigh
Wire v Hull KR = Wire
Cats v Widnes = ?
Fax v Fev = doesn't matter

Final likely points

Wire- 14
Hull KR- 8 min, 12 max
Widnes- 8 min, 12 max
Leigh- 8 min, 10 max
Cats- 6 min, 12 max
London, Fev, Fax - all out of it

There's any number of combinations which could happen. For example, after watching London nearly sneak Wire yesterday, you wouldn't be looking forward to going there if you were a Leigh fan. Will Cats home advantage work for them against Widnes, and can Hull KR pull off another win against a pro side at home?

If you always assumed SL clubs would beat champ clubs, then Hull KR may well find they're back in the mix of the MPG, finishing on 8.

For what it's worth, my bets would be on the following, but I'm not confident enough to put money on it:

Wire v Leigh = Wire
HullKR v Widnes = Widnes
Cats v Fev = Cats
London v Fax - doesn't matter

Leigh v Fax = Leigh
Fev v Wire = Wire
Hull KR v Cats = Cats
Widnes v London = Widnes

London v Leigh = Leigh
Wire v Hull KR = Wire
Cats v Widnes = Cats
Fax v Fev = doesn't matter

Final likely points

Wire- 14
Cats- 12
Widnes- 10
Hull KR- 8
Leigh- 8

London, Fev, Fax - all out of it

Replay of last year's MPG, with home advantage decided by points difference, which I think will go Leigh's way because KR on this prediction are losing their next 3 games while Leigh will win 2.

There's a prediction which will last a whole week....

Very tricky to call. I think HKR will find the one win to go up maybe even against Wire last week when Warrington will have already qualified and in holiday mode.

Think it'll be Catalans vs Leigh

I'm confident to put a lot of money on the MPG not been a replay of last years game Do you know a bookies that will let me put a bet on it?

Or even more shocks:

Widnes (icon_cool.gif - Hull KR L, London L, Catalan W
London (7) - Halifax W, Widnes W, Leigh W
Leigh (6) - Warrington L, Halifax W, London L
Catalans (6) - Featherstone W, Hull KR L, Widnes L.
Featherstone (3) - Catalans L, Warrington L, Halifax W

Was looking online for bookies odds but can't seem to find any? They priced it after 1st and 2nd rounds but haven't seen anything since.

For me as it stands, in the current form of the clubs over the past 4 games I'd say the final table could look something like this;

1. Warrington
2. Widnes
3. Hull KR
4. Catalans
5. London
6. Leigh
7. Featherstone
8. Halifax

With home advantage in the MPG then I think Catalans would win a closely fought game

All depends on points difference really with Leigh +56 on Catalans

Catalan could be without Walsh this weekend v Featherstone. Bird has been banned for four matches so his season is over.
