IMO i wouldnt be really too upset if we dont make it(even tho it would be hard to do it now)TS needs to get a full pre season wiv the boys and new signings before next season. Obviously after the 4 nations malarky!!!!!!!!!

They'll win on Friday, i'm sure of that.

Keep the faith

I've said that for the three of the past four seasons.

I DON'T THINK WE ARE WORTHY OF A PLAY-OFF PLACE AND WE WOULDN'T DO IT JUSTICE AND BE OUT 1ST ROUND,DUE TO OUR INJURIES AT THE MOMENT AND THE FACT YOU NEED AS CLOSE TO A FULLY FIT SQUAD ON THE PITCH TO DO ANYTHING IN THE PLAY-OFFS !
LETS JUST BE HAPPY WITH WHAT WE HAVE ACHIEVED THIS SEASON AND BUILD FOR NEXT YEAR !

Same here.

On the face of it, we should get the 2 points easily. Then again, as you say, you never know with us.

The only blip I can see next week is with Saints v Cats. Saints have got 2nd wrapped up, they can only get top spot if they absolutely cane Cats by 67+ points and Leeds lose to Salford. Saints may decide to rest some players, which could give Catalans the advantage.

I'd love to say we got in the playoffs on merit, but in all honesty we do need some teams to do us a favour in order to get into the 8.

I'm normally not a confident person, but I belive we can make the 8. Which probably now means I've put the mockers on us and we'll get beat. : ^ (

They have to win, hope Salford can do them a favour. Imagine the outcry if Salford pulled off an unbelievable win and Saints couldn't fulfil their end of it.

They'll approach that game proffesionally.

In terms of what we need, as in as a percentage of difficulty for each segment, if that makes sense, I'd say Hull have the hardest & biggest part to play, like ...

Hull (60%)
Saints (20%)
Warrington (20%)

I understand what you are saying mate, and I fully agree. Hull have the hardest task trying to beat a Bradford team that have found some form at the back end of the season (what is it, 4 straight wins, something like that??).

It's a make or break week coming up, no doubt about it.

The Hull Bradford game is tough to call in many ways

Will Hull want to sign off a dissapointing season with a win in front of their own fans? Yes. But, will they have the same enthusiasm throughout the game to match that of Bradford who will know this is do or die?

Alternatively, will the Bulls crumble like they have done this year under the pressure, and with Hull being under no pressure or expectation at all, will they just play an open game and tear in to Bradford?

I can see that either being close and low scoring or close and ridiculously high scoring. Close either way! Coooommmee onnnnn yoooouuuu Huuuuulllllllll.

We can kind of take some sort of hope from the spirated performances that they put up at Wigan, suggests they haven't thrown the towel in just yet like.

It'll be tough, no doubt. Of all the sides pushing for 8th, Bradford have all the momentum, fair play to them for not giving up on what was seemingly a lost cause.
