See both our home games off, we are safe for top 8 I feel.

If we can pick up 6 points from our remaining 8 we could only be 4 points from the top 4 when the regular season finishes - which gives us something to aim for in the split.

Wigan on same points.
widnes (h)
Catalan (a)
Wire (h)
Leeds (h)

Think they will win three of those.

Wire 5 points behind
Catalan (h)
Wakey (a)
Leigh (h)
Wigan (a)
Widnes (h)

Think they will win three putting them on 18 points -one point above where we currently stand.

Catalan currently 4 points behind but we have a far superior points difference.
Wire (h)
Leigh (h)
Wigan (h)
Saints (a)
Cas (h)

Think cats will win 2/3 putting them on 19.
I reckon if we win our two of our four remaining games we will be fine. The 2 home games should be the ones we are well capable of winning.

I think we can win all our games. Both Salford and Hull will be starting to think about Wembley, I know it's a month away before they play their semi's but it will be getting into their minds. In any case i don't believe we need any advantages , we are getting well into gear now and for once it is at the right time of the season.
It would be handy to be able to pick from a fully fit squad but the lads who have been stepping in have been doing the business. I have never been one for blaming performances on injuries ( although i know it does impact on the side when you have a different team every week )
I have always thought it was getting the players who are on the field to be at their best " whoever they are " that matters and that seems to be happening now. I don't pretend to know what has brought about this change, " it has been dramatic, and seemed to start after the sad passing of Mr Davy's good lady ".
I have also always thought that a big percentage of good coaching is motivating the players and getting the best from them, so for me RS seems to be getting that right now and credit to him for it.
The big thing for us now is to not start regarding Widnes and Leigh as already won . " we just need to turn up ". Those are the games we are likely to get turned over. We have shown in the last few weeks we are in fact a match for any of the other sides now, we just need to keep going the way we are. I wont be surprised if we win all 4 games.

we cant afford to lose more players to injury now... get one or two bodies back and we will win more than we lose

obviously the two games against widnes and leigh are 4 pointers! still confident we will be in the top 8, which at the start of the season i think we all agreed was good progress

Anywhere above the bottom is progress after last season and top 8 looked impossible after the Swinton loss. Can't believe how they have turned it round but long may it continue. Just wish we could get a break from a long run of injuries.

Aim this year was to make top 8 so if we achieve that then good progress made and we can test ourselves in the Super 8's with no pressure. Fantastic turnaround from earlier this year and that win at Leeds was the spark. Since then we have got better and better - just where would we be without our horrendous injury list I wonder. Make the Top 8 and i am satisfied that we are heading in the right direction and can look forward to challenging again next year.

Injuries are part of the game as we all know and blaming them is pretty pointless as you need to look forward not back.

All clubs suffer in varying degrees.

It's how your squad handles those injuries that's key and we are doing well in that respect at the moment.

Also, we have had 2 key injuries early in the game in the last 2 games against top teams and we've found a way to handle them within both games.

Good to see and long may it continue. (Not the injuries but how we are handling them!)

Leeds did us a favour last night! Keeping saints close enough to catch.
Can widnes, wakey and Leigh help us!
Possibly wakey but the other two maybe asking a bit too much.
Even better if we can pick up the two from Salford although not expecting to

So long as we take the points then the rest will sort itself out

HULL away is the only game I don't have any hope of us winning
Salford away will be tough as always, but we can do it and I'm feeling confident

Our home games are must win no matter what.

Its the week before Hulls Challenge Cup semi final so you never know......

we are still the faves to be in the top 8. ball is in our court

beat widnes and leigh at home .. might not even need that but should be beating those two really, our home form starting to get back to what it used to be

Devils 24
Cods 23
Shakey 22
Saints 19

We win on Sunday we are 18 just 6 off top 4 with 10 to play, 9 pts from the last 10, only Cas are better.
The bookies have not written Saints and Wigan off, so why carn,t we do it, we can, ok i,m on the vino callapso, but seriously optimistic.

Guarantee radford will rest players if we beat saints n Leeds

So, what result would anyone like today on the Wakefield v Warrington game?

Wakey win and we could pull away from Wire?
Wire win and we could creep closer to Wakey?

If we lose on Sunday and Wire win the pressure is on.
