Might I suggest you go for a cold shower - we don't play until two weeks today.

well apart from Hull K R picking up a point , results couldn`t have gone any better in this round of games .

Oh for a win at Cas. Those 7 extra Fergie time minutes might well come back to haunt us!

Next games are crucial

Wakefield v Salford - Salford win
Hull v KR - Hull Win
Widnes v Wigan - Wigan win

And i tell you what were almost there!

Wakey v Salford is setting-up to be a real beauty. Cue Tim Smith to have a blinder...

Surely we'd have stipulated he can't play!

Widnes have had a bit of a hoodoo over Wigan on that plastic pitch so if that continues then our task is harder.

I'd let Smith play - no need to give the opposition extra incentive......surely we know his game well enough...?

I fear that you might be right. Smith will come back to haunt us.

I still think it’s out of reach for this season (just). I fully expect us to win our remaining 3 games, but I fear that points difference may be our undoing, plus I also think other results won’t go as we would like. I fully expect Hull KR to beat Hull FC which would be a major blow, I also have a funny feeling that Widnes may pull off a shock against Wigan, Widnes should also beat Bradford (although their form has been good of late) Catalan will beat London comfortably at their place and that should see them make the 8.

The point I guess I’m trying to make, is we are still relying on other teams results so it’s technically not in our hands.

How exciting could the Widnes game last match of the season be, if it came down to winner takes all?!

Looking at the remaining fixtures, I reckon we'll do it.

I predict:

Wakefield will lose at Cas and beat HKR at home = 21 pts
Widnes won't win again = 23 pts
HKR will beat Catalans = 23 pts
I am (have to be!) confident we will win our last 3 games = 25 pts.

I've never bothered looking until now - what position team will we play ?

After there shoddy season I expect Hull FC to go all guns blazing to beat KR. They'll want to give their fans something.

I hope so, but they're dire at the moment. I can't see past a KR win.

Well at least we will know our fate before kick off as Widnes and KR play on the friday night. If they lose then i think we will go out and beat wakefield but if results go the other way i just think the lads will be gutted and we will get beat. I think Hull at home will just beat kr but wigan are unpredicatable so god knows if they will beat widnes
