Quote ="gutterfax"The next 5 games will determine whether we will be chasing a home play-off birth or struggling to make the 8 at all. Salford are better than they were at the start of the season so we will need to be on form and then away to wakey and home to saints will really test our credentials as the potential Grand Final winners that Big Mac says we are. If we emerge from these games with 6 points, then I believe the next 2, Celtic and HKR will be very winnable and put us on 22 points by mid june. If on the other hand, we loose the first 3, I can see our season coming to halt very quickly.'"
Agreed. Apart from the win over Leeds at the Stoop our season more or less came to a halt after losing to Catalans in Cardiff,despite a fairly decent start. With no CC involvement any players carrying knocks should get extra weekends to recover when those games are on, the whole squad gets a bit extra recovery time and 6-8 points from the next 5 games should put us in a very handy place indeed.
