people forget,not only did we win the cup in 2016 but at the end of the regular season we finished top..the real champions of that year.a great feat.

Maybe got the years mixed up but weren’t we beat by Wire to finish second, Wire took the Leader’s Sheild.

After the initial rounds we were irrc, before the top 8 split from the bottom 4, then the players/coach were allowed to throw away the best chance of finishing top to 0arty instead after the cc win

I think we actually finished 3rd because Wigan also won to leap frog us.

Still think the season is over talentboy?

I take it back, season on!

If we can squeak into the playoffs then its well and truly on.

We are hitting our straps just need to put a nice 4/5 game winning streak on to put pressure on the teams above us

Catalans next week which would be a huge win, although doable. Then after that we have something like Rovers, Cas, Huddersfield and Wakey. Some good chances there to pick up a nice run of wins.

Play off places more or less sewn up - 6 from the current top 7. But at least we are starting to see the impact of Smith so that makes the run in more interesting in terms of what we might expect next season.

It's certainly not the end of the world if we don't make the playoffs, this was always a transitional season. But with 11 games to go, 8 wins would give us an excellent chance of making it. Catalans and Rovers are both difficult games, but if we win them both then I'd back us to make it. We could do with really running the cleaners through someone to wipe out a lot of that negative PD. It might come down to that in the end.

Rovers, Saints and Wigan all still have the Challenge Cup distraction so it would be nice if any of them drop points around the semi final, either the week before or week after (both would be nice).
1 of Wigan or Rovers is guarantees in the final so again dropping points around that time would be helpful for us.

Ultimately all we can do is concentrate on ourselves and pur own games. In the background hopefully other fixtures just start to go our way a little.

We play at Wigan six days after the Challenge Cup Final so hopefully they go on and win it and then make wholesale changes for our game.

Jam tomorrow.......or for breakfast.
Strawberry please.

The up and down results we’ve seen this season anybody can take points off anyone. Would you have had Cas down for beating Warrington last night as an example?

We are 8pts of 1st & 2nd, 6pts off 3rd & 4th and only 4pts off 5th & 6th. Admittedly our pts difference puts us at a disadvantage but there’s still enough games left to give it a shot how ever long that shot may be.

Maybe seasons past you could have said top 6 were sewn up but not sure you can this season.
