Why on earth would you support Hull KR vs St Helens?
We beat Leeds
St Helens beat KR
Huddersfield beat Salford
Them results GUARANTEE us top 8 as it puts us 9 points above the bottom 4, with 8 points to play for.
Anything else is a bonus. |

Beating Leeds would pretty much do that. Rovers beating Sts would give us a sniff at 5th.
If we beat Leeds, we want Leeds Hudds and Salford to win their games as they all play our rivals and are unlikely to catch us themselves. |

KR at home
Wakey away
Widnes home
Hudds away
Wigan home
Certainly could and I wouldn't bet against it, maybe our last game against Cas might decide it, our problem is saint's better points difference. |

| I don't like Friday night games! Leeds play Friday, Friday and we play Sunday Friday. Salford away Friday and Hull KR Thursday the players don't like night games and short turn arounds.. I hope the confidence from a victory kicks in and we tear Leeds apart because we could do but as Wakefield fan you always expect the unexpected! Ryan Hall isn't playing anyway if that's a good thing  |

Our best available side for this needs to be picked- we are 1 win away from safety that should be a priority.
realistically we would get knocked out in semis of challenge cup with who is left still anyway- huddersfield will be up for that game
don't worry about it until we are safe and in super league in 2017 - which Friday will provide with a victory

I think that we may have one eye on the cup game but, your right, this is a game that we all want to win. |

| When this season started I made one prediction and set a few what I thought were attainable targets.
The prediction was that we would be better than last year, we just had to be. Not a massive leap considering how dreadful we were. That came tru for me instantly, against Wuidnes we were disjointed and brittle but we were clearly fitter and there was clearly more intent so hats off to BS for that. At this point I really felt we might not end up bottom - seems really modest now but was a big leap of faith at the time.
Next were the goals I set the team in my head obviouly not oin their's. Now I'm not jumping the gun, we stiil don't look great and Fifita is a gamble and Moore is always a gamble. I'm fully aware that the job is nowhere near done. However what I will say though is we are far closer at this point in the season than I ever thought we would be and tbh most of them I didn't think we'd get close to - I am frankly shocked. It's probably worse takink stock as the next few weeks will be the real deciders.
FWIW and in order of prority and likelyhood.
1: Don't finish bottom.
2: Wherever we finish in the bottom four avoid the MPG.
3: Finish 9th or 10th.
4: Pinch 8th spot.
5: Beat a SL team in the CCup.
6: Finish above Cas and get normal service resumed on that one 
Didn't even contemplate going beyond that, in fact 4 - 6 seemed wishfull thinking in the extreme.
I suspect most peoples wish list was similar or probably a little less optinistic. So for the kneejerk mini melt down merchants who storm out of the woodwork after every defeat just look how far we have come and be gratefull. For me not being in the bottom 4 is the ultimate prize, that and watching some first class RL this season - the rest if there is a rest will be a bonus.

Nah, Chester will see the top 8 as the priority and rightly so. It's my dream to go to Wembley but not as HKR did last year with one eye looking over my shoulder. I would give up Wembley in a heartbeat to win of Friday. Of course should that happen the above will no longer be an issue and then the Cup becomes interesting and hopefully a bit of real fun.  |

I don't think that many fans, even the most optimistic, had any realistic thoughts beyond no. 3 on your list.
Of course, we all dream that in a perfect world, certain things may happen but, this season has surpassed everything that was even remotely possible.
As we all know, this rarely happens at Wakefield and really, being where we are, we need to live the dream and hope that things can get even better.
Re-assess where we are and set new targets about what we may want to achieve.
If we don't do this, the season will just fizzle away and I would love (Kevin Keegan style  ) if we can beat Leeds on Friday, Knock Shudds out of the cup and do Wigan at their place and then we might be able to book our coaches to London. I'd even save a seat for Mr Wane, although not to many people would want the seat next to him .

It's great to see how far we have come when you have a checkpoint to compare to like that.
If I was to make a list starting now, knowing what I know about the team
1) Secure a top 8 finish
2) Get to the Challenge Cup Semi Final
3) Don't get hammered in any game from now to the end of the playoffs
4) Finish as high as we can in the league
Stretch targets
5) Win the semi
6) go on another winning run that takes us into the top 4 in the Super 8s
Oh to Dream
7) Wembley
 Go on a playoff tour

James Childs is referee.
Someone correct me if I am wrong but I don't think we have ever won a game that he has refereed.
