as long as we finish in the top 8 come the end of the season, i cn't see anyone stopping us winning the gf again apart from warrington

Anything outside the top 4 and however good you are, you will struggle.

Its also a long long time until then and if we don't improve then there's more teams than Warrington that can push us, Hudds look to be always improving (Crusaders apart), Saints will be hard to stop when they get their injured players back + Hull might sack Agar and realise they actually have a good side.

Have to agree.

We haven't hit "form" at all this season. Why? Well I am not paid to comment.

The reality is though, that despite this, we have "dug in" and come good when we needed to. (Hull, Stains).

This is a much underrated quality.

Add to this Fielden, Hock and Finch to find his feet, and we are looking ok.

We will make the GF this year, I have no doubt.

we finished top last season and ended up having to play the same amount of games that we would of had to if we had finished outside the top 4... fair enough we havent been playing well for the full 80mins in quite a few games this season, but when it has clicked i think theres been enough there to show we will be thereabouts at the end of the season

What im saying is nothing less than 4 wins will be good enough as i fell we need to win at least the next 6 games we play. Simples

I will only be worried when I see us playing without desire. This Wigan team is good enough to beat any team when we are desperate for the win.

To be only 2 points off the pace with all the problems and disruption as well as having played 1 less game is a great achievement.
