We need Hull to win by any amount
We need St's to beat Catalan (ideally by 9 or more)
We need to beat Quins (by more than 7 if saints were only to beat Catalan by 1)

Current Table
------------------
8. Catalans Dragons 24 -58
9. Bradford 23 -18
10. Warrington 22 -66
11. Harlequins 22 -90

Its all still to play for.

It's going to be Bradford unfortunately

My thoughts

I think it will be Bradford but that will be a tough game alot of pressure on them to win it and they have not been in many this season they might buckle ([sizelets hope so[/size)

But I could also see Saints losing to Catalan ala 2007 against Wigan.

The squad is thinning out anyway, As i don't think we will do any damage in the competition i'm not concerned if we don't make the 8.

We'll make the eight, I think.

I can see Hull beating Bradford.

See, I was thinking that aswell. There is no pressure on Hull, there is on Bradford.

Saying that though, we still have to do our part. Hopefully we don't receive a Quins backlash, especially after their performance against Castleford earlier this afternoon.

Harlequins have looked shot for about six to eight weeks now. I know it's Warrington like, but I'd back us to do our bit like.

When it comes to our fate on the final weekend of the season, Saints have done us no favours. Three examples from memory.

2005: A Saints win over Bradford secures 3rd spot for us, meaning London travel to HJ in the first week of the play offs. Bradford do the unthinkable and win at KR earning themselves 3rd place and we have to host Hull FC finishing 4th.

2007: A Warrington win over Salford and a Saints win over Wigan at KR secures a play off spot for us after an under-par season. We defeat Salford but Wigan beat Saints and we finish 7th.

2008: A Wigan defeat by Saints would secure 5th place and avoid a trip to Catalan with us still having a game in hand against Huddersfield. Wigan draw at KR and after a woeful display the following day from us against Huddersfield, we end up going to France.

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!!!!!!!!!

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. : ^ (
