I'm predicting 8 points in the next 5 games...... 10 if we are at our best. Our defence is solid, and our attack is coming good in spells. Get a little more consistency in attack, with less unforced errors (both of which I think will keep improving) and we will be very hard to beat.

A) Being relatively injury free and B) the ability to remain extremely disciplined on the field were always the key components to any sucess.

The former we tolerate the risk, the latter we terminate the risk.

Aye, but we have to stop dropping the ball and stop giving away cheap penalties. If we do that then we will be in the top 8.

Dropping the ball! Or overplaying?

So far we are 2 wins from 3 at home & lost 2 from 2 away.

Given better discipline & ball retention there is every chance of making 8th & 8th will do, no nail biting & build for 2018.

I don't know the exact rule, but I hope we can afford to & do make use of a Marquee Signing, if we can attract someone good enough. Strengthen the squad before the Q8's like Wakey did.

I have been a critic of Willie Tonga in the past but I have to eat my words, he has been great this season up to the injury, hopefully he can get back to full fitness for the business end of the season.

We need to focus more on ball retention and how important it is at this level. I don't think we are overplaying but at times we are careless. Our defence is compensating for the deficiencies in this aspect of our play. But as Wigan proved the other week you can't defend too much against top sides. The general rule is that eventually they will wear teams down.

8 plus the 2 we already have = 20 points

And you never know the Dragons might not travel well they can blow hot or cold

Possible 22 Points

And knock Torronto out of the Challenge Cup to boot

17 left , 40 points still the target , off to visit Belle Vue for possibly the last time , another winnable game
