Totally agree with your last paragraph ML, but taking points off any of the the SL teams we would be expected to play I can't honestly see that happening, collectivley we are to slow over the ground with ball in hand, and to weak and disorganised in defence to trouble those teams that are playing at a faster pace and against better oposition each week, my opinion off course!

If we do make the top 4 - what's to fear:

Done Featherstone away
Done Toulouse away
Done Halifax home - thanx Snowy
Robbed at Blackpool
Done Salford ( superdooper team)
Done London 3 times

The team now, is not the team at the beginning.

What more do you want them to do?

Just need to get top 4

Then we will see if we are good enough or not.

Apologies

Your right they did!

What I was getting at is we have beat all the top 4 sides and came close at Blackpool against Toronto and done Salford too

I think we can forget points difference now. Whilst ours is superior to Fax (by 99) it is inferior to Fev (by 97) and London (by 120) We could overhaul Fev, as long as we don't put in another shift like Saturday, but we won't catch London.

At the end of the day, we need Fax to drop at least one point to Toulouse (Fax have Rochdale at home in the last match) and London to drop two points against Fev. (London are at Barrow in the last match) If London get a result at Fev, we are reliant on Toronto beating Fev in the last match - and us making up the 99 points!

What it simply boils down to is Toulouse getting at least a draw next weekend.

I take your point Harry, but a winning run, momentum behind you, a little rub off the green and 17 players adrenalin pumping on mass it is difficult to say what will or will not happen to us if we find ourselves in the 8s.

Look at 2016. We were not playing well at all leading up to it. Snatching wins in the dying moments (Sheffield away ) We nearly blew our first qualifier at home to London with a poor performance and somehow hung on in the second one against Salford. We then went on to win the next 4 qualifiers to clinch SL. 6 from 6.

I don't think his ego/pride would let him do that, just depends if he is bitter or petty. I would hope he wants a winning team to display his AWESOME coaching ability to the Canadians

RL newshound on Leigh rlfc website predicting Toulouse and Fev wins on Sunday, meaning we finish 4th!!

Enjoy playing Swinton, Rochdale, Barrow.......etc etc in your mini tournament. If you manage to beat the other team not making the top 4 what will you get?

He/she reckons we will beat Batley away in our final game!

only Time will tell keep going over every scenario just hope results go our way

6 from 7, there are 7 games per team in the 8's, we lost away at Leeds !
