| Remember only the top 4 enter the playoffs this year. It will be very competitive. I'm confident we'll make the Super 8's BUT do you think we'll be in the top 4 at the end of the Super 8's?
Would also be great if people could post who they think will be the top 4 come the end of September.

| Based on what I have seen up to now I voted no. It's a long season and form (of both ourselves and other teams) can change but if we don't correct the high error rate and the needless repeated penalties then we won't make the top 4. I think we will comfortably make the top 8 by the split but will have left ourselves too much to haul back in the last seven games.
I think the top 4 come the end of the second phase (in no particular order) will be Leeds, Saints, Catalans and Warrington.

| Yes, despite our terrible start of think there is plenty quality to pull things together and we will look a lot better when Lockers returns. My concern is we'll have to go flat out during those last 7 games to make the top 4 and not have enough in the tank to make the final or win it

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |

| Yes, we can pull this around... It's VERY early days.
Will we make the top 4?... Probably, but who knows what the season holds for us, and everybody else. Thats the beauty of sport.

I would agree, sure we’re not at the races yet, they’re certainly not all singing from the same song sheet, but there is just too much talent there not to make the top four. If it doesn’t look good around the 12 game mark (and I think it will) then I may start to worry, but I don’t think we should all be wearing black just yet. We’ve seen it all before. Keep the faith!

| I must admit I was asking myself if we will make the Super 8's after last night. I'm pretty confident we will but the top 4 clearly looks a way off currently.
Saints, Leeds, Wire and Catalans for me.
Although I've watched sport long enough to know things can change very quickly..

| It will be a struggle. We are missing Lockers.
But yes. Just.

And none for Castleford Tigers. Bye!:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_1140.jpg |

| I'm a Leeds fan, and I still think you'll be in the top four. It's a long season. No need to panic just yet.

| We'll make the four.
Looking at the table already, it's pretty obvious teams are going to be taking point of each other all year. I think Leeds and Saints will be consistant enough to take those top two spots but the rest are wide open and we'll get on a run at some point.

| Yep, I'm confident we'll make the four. Once we start playing rugby where we're supposed to (i.e. the opponent's half) we'll be ok.

30462.jpg [b:3oz7jfnu]Wigan Warriors coach Shaun Wane told BBC Radio Manchester:
"Some people within the club [Castleford] have come out with comments saying we're beatable and it's a great game for them and they're very confident.
Many of the comments I've heard have been bordering on disrespectful.
They can be as confident as they want, but they're going to get a tough game this weekend and we'll be trying our best to make sure they don't get that win.
We've played in some big games over these last few years and they've not played in as many, if any, so to be that confident is very risky for them.
They come here with confidence because they've scored a lot of points and beaten us at home, but I wouldn't be overconfident if I was them."
[u:3oz7jfnu]Incidentally Wane's mob got stuffed 16 - 4[/u:3oz7jfnu] [/b:3oz7jfnu]:30462.jpg |

| IMO Wigan can still make the top 4 without a doubt
But this early season slump will mean that you probably won't be able to go through another one if you wish to be in the top 4 come semi final time, It's a big ask but it's not beyond you by any means
Get your odds for a GF win now

| There's every chance we'll make the top 4. Never underestimate the mediocrity of this competition, irrespective of the Sky pundits' hyperbole.
