I think people are underestimating how difficult it will be for teams from our level to raise their game every week to that intensity. Wakey wont be as bad as people are thinking and realistically I think whoever finishes 5th out of Leigh and Bradford still have a massive ask to win that game.

Some fans are delusional in believing it will be a stroll to make SL, we are very much the underdog for a reason. You saw the pace the game was played at on Saturday, and I would love that to be the case in every game we play until the 8's but it wont the ruck speed will be back to the awful pace we see every week, the niggle will be allowed and then when we hit the 8's we have to adapt.
The refs need to get the championship clubs playing at SL pace NOW so we are comfortable with it when it matters, unless of course the RFL plan is for no promoted clubs.
Lets see some great games played at pace and enter the 8's with a fully fit squad then see what unfolds.

Looking at Sheffields run in, they are not imo nailed on certs for 3rd or 4th

I agree Sheffield Eagles v Featherstone Rovers is the one for me that will determine that 4th place. But even then Fev have the better points difference,so if they are level on points Fev will pip them to 4th.

Fev have still got Bradford, Leigh, and Sheffield so would need to win one of those and then hope that Halifax lose more than 2. Realistically if Fax manage to beat Sheffield on Sunday it will be the London V Sheffield game that could decide if Fax finish 3rd thats thinking Fax will lose to Bradford.

London are probably the team that could still sneak in to the top 4 with 4 wins and hoping Fax lose 2. If Fax beat Sheffield then London would have to win all 4 of their remaining games and over turn a massive points difference to finish above Fax if results went like that though London could still over turn Sheffields point difference meaning they missed out on the top 4. Its great isnt it.

I think it will be us or Bradford in 5th. The SL teams will be in the top 4

I'd say Salford are down, Widnes lost their big man in Kevin Brown who would return for the first game in the Middle 8s, still in with a slight chance to get in the top eight though. Looking at the fixtures I personally think Warrington will take 8th place, with Widnes, Salford and Wakefield.

Really looking forward to the middle 8s, very game matters when you technically all start again from 0.
