Catalans have got London at home. That will take them to at least 25 points, so I can't see them missing out.

If we win all four we could be in with fair chance. Would need Widnes to lose 3, HKR 2 and Hull and Wakefield one each.

Nightmare scenario would be going into the last game needing to win to make the 8 and then pulling out another shocker against Widnes.

Unless the RFL demonstrate their usual lack of clarity,parity and favouritism for Super League clubs above the rest of the sport,then I think a reasonable precedent was set rlby this decisionrl

I think you will find coverage of it in the usual place - not as many involved,but far more than enough.

Your link also has another precedent: the fine handed out to Cas.

I think a lot will depend on the reaction of Widnes to these "fans". Many are identifiable from the photographs in the public domain and a couple have further mired themselves by moronic boasting on media sites. If Widnes follw the example of Hull, then I cannot see a ban being even contemplated by the RL.

Furthermore, I'd rather get into the top 8 by our efforts not by the actions of a few prats.

Have updated estimates (figs in brackets - points difference) HKR favourites then us, then Widnes.

Hull FC Currently 18 (+44) points


Hull KR w

18 + 2 = 20


Catalan Currently 23 points (-16)


London w

23 + 4 = 27

Wakey currently 19 pts (-201)


Salford home lose
Cas away lose
HKR home lose

19 + 0 = 19

Widnes currently 23 (-11icon_cool.gif

wigan h l

23 + 2 =25

Salford currently 19 (-113)

widnes w

19 + 6 = 25

Hull kr currently 21 (-16)


hull fc l
catalan l

21 + 2 = 23

Going off current form alone, I can't see Widnes beating Bradford.

There are a lot of 'what if' moments this season which could already have seen us securing a top 8 spot. Nevertheless, it bodes well for next season that we'll be in mix again.
