We didn't get the rub of the green with two decisions that resulted in two tries for Leeds. Theo's disallowed try was forward. The Maguire pass could've gone either way. Evalds although not tackled whilst in the air had a hand laid on him. To the letter of the law it's a penalty but contact was negligible anyway. Some you win. Proud of the effort the team put in. I think top 8 is gonna be a tall order now but we won't be easy beats if we do make it. Wouldn't mind another crack at Leeds actually.

I think we both need to go! Was re-watching the game pretty late and was half dozing off at points. Thought I'd give it another fresh look this morning and from the ref cam it does look like it Rapira's hands are actually facing forward. Fages was nowhere near a yard in front though when it was passed!

Anyway, pretty disappointed we didn't manage to grab at least a draw but enjoyed the game. It's a shame Chase passed the ball forward to Evalds on the final play as the kick to the corner to Johnson looked like it might have been on.

Harris' improvements to the side there to be seen again. Still the odd frustrating lapse in concentration but defensively we're probably playing as good overall as we have done in a long time.

Looking forward to Wigan away, can't see us getting anything there though.

Another good performance, yet more proof we're heading in the right direction. Gutted we didn't win and think we have too much to do for the 8, but proud of the effort.

walne was outstanding, I also thought Rapira went well.

Just had another skeet at table & fixtures to come - we still are in with a chance imo :-

Widnes


Hkr h win
Hudd a lose
Wigan h l
Bulls a w
Salf a l

21 + 4 =25

Salford

Wigan a lose
Catalan h win
Wakey a w
Broncos w
Widnes w

17+ 8 = 25 (+38 currently on points difference)

Hull KR

Broncos a win
Widnes a lose
Wigan home l
Hull fc away w
Catalan h lose
Wakey away w

18 + 6 = 24

Key matches are Widnes v HKR, Hull v HKR , HKR v Catalan plus all ours of course!

I make Wakey maybe 21 points or 23 if they can beat Rervers :-

Wakey currently 19 pts


Huddersfield home lose
Saints away win (Half the team out currently so every chance - hope we get them in the Play Offs!)
Salford home lose
Cas away lose
HKR home lose

19 + 2 = 21

It seems people are assuming Catalans have already made the top 8 seeing as no-one's mentioned them.

They're currently in 7th, 7 points clear of 12th placed Hull FC with 10 points still to play for.

Their run-in is as follows:

Warrington (h)
Salford (a)
London (h)
Hull KR (a)
Cas (h)

With the exception of London that's 4 very tough games especially when you consider their away record this year.

I think there's still 2 play-off spots to play for.

Catalans are in no way safe!

Well I would be surprised PB

They have 23 now and London to come plus a good points difference compared to others -

If we can win all 5 then YES I would agree.

Could have done without Bradford beating Wigan yesterday. No doubt Wane will be reading them the riot act this week.

No excuses though, play like we have been doing the last 5 weeks and we'll have a chance.

Depends on whether we beat Wigan. If we can, we could easily win the other four.

That means KR and Widnes could win three out of the last five and we still qualify.

Having said that KR have five winnable games and if they do that and Catalans win their home games we can't make it.

I still think we are probably two wins short of being able too make the 8, for me much more important and building momentum to carry over into next season.

I also say London won't carry their bat and will beat someone before the end of the season, just hope we don't assume it's a win and really go all out too beat them, doing so might help us get into a positive points position.

I think were going to fall short but as Michigan says it's all about building momentum for next season realistically we should be looking at top6 minimum.

There was a bit more to it than that.

Cracking performance from the lads. We're getting there, finally.

Just watched the highlights, hadn't seen the forward pass in the build up too the final Leeds try until now but it was a shocker. www.loverugbyleague.com/news_159 ... -2014.html
