Swings and roundabouts I suppose. We need to win at least 4 from our last 5 so beating Warrington is imperative Id say.

agreed, we cant afford to lose any of the next 4 games, watching leeds/wire this afternoon, would be disappointed if we lost at home to those two, fingers crossed the injuries clear up for Sao/Taylor and Hoy if Litten failed his head test , id rather have our next 3 fixtures than our 6 fingered neighbours east

I believe Litten passed his head test.

Yep TS said post game that Litten was fine. Taylor a d Houghton will be missed but with Fash back & hopefully Sao that should negate the loss of Taylor. With Houghton missing surely it’s time to bring Balmforth in to the 17 or Will TS run with Dwyer/Lovodua. Hopefully Carlos won’t face a ban.
Great shame for Staveley he still struggling with the injury he picked up in the reserves game. Wonder if it’s too soon to give Jebson an opportunity?

I thought Bentley had a good game for Leeds .

I think we have to win our next four games or that's us out the six, we've got 3 or our top 6 rivals too.

Me too, I'd just be happy to have every game with something to play for, hopefully we won't need to beat Saints last game of the season, but be happy to go there knowing the last game of the season means something.

Yeah our points difference cost us unfortunately that seven game losing run hurt it, that's why a draw at Wigan would have helped us.

Agree, we have to win our next 4 games to stand any chance, I view all remaining games now as knock out rugby. If we can do that hopefully other results would go our way too meaning we wouldn't need to go to St's and win to get in to the 6.

It's going to be very tight, if we win the next four we should be OK. Potentially we could do it with three wins from five but we'd need a couple of big wins and have some luck with other results. We can close up the PD gap with Rovers and possibly Salford but probably not Warrington or Leeds. It'd be nice to still be competing going into the last couple of rounds.

5 Warrington 22 +21
6 Salford 22 -3
-----------------
7 Hull KR 22 -23
8 Leeds 20 +59
9 Hull FC 20 -81
10 Hudds 18 -80

Warrington - Hull FC (A), Cas (H), Salford (A), Saints (H), Hudds (A)
Salford - Wakefield (H), Wigan (A), Warrington (H), Hull KR (A), Catalans (H)
Hull KR - Leigh (H), Catalans (H), Hudds (A), Salford (H), Wakefield (A)
Leeds - Hudds (A), Hull FC (A), Wigan (H), Catalans (A), Cas (H)
Hull FC - Warrington (H), Leeds (H), Cas (A), Hudds (H), Saints (A)
Hudds - Leeds (H), Leigh (A), Hull KR (H), Hull FC (A), Warrington (H)

Looking at the remaining fixtures for each of those six clubs, what stands out is how many of the games are 50/50 calls, predicting upcoming results is an exercise in chance determination.

Our three remaining homes games, for instance, could go either way. Win those three, along with Castleford, and we're almost there. Lose even one of them and we are up against it. The same goes for the other contenders, a series of 50/50 games which could go either way.

All we can hope, from our perspective, is that we prepare well and play well enough in the upcoming weeks to gather in the wins needed to keep the season rolling along for as long as possible.
But I can't rid myself of the gnawing feeling that ultimately, our negative points-difference is going to cost us in the end.
We shall see soon enough, one way or the other!

Promises to be a big game for both sides. Watched Leeds vs Wire yesterday, they looked improved from recent weeks albeit still ending up in defeat.

We have been strong at home ever since Good Friday, and I personally feel relatively confident against anyone at the MKM currently, Fash and hopefully Sao would be vital against their big pack.

They have some serious threats in Duffty, Williams and Clarke. Vaughan is quality and there wingers have serious speed.

Will be a tough game.

Calos got two games

Carlos banned 2 matches, seems a but harsh, but not a suprise.

Scott back to centre, Lane in the backrow, hopefully Staverly is fit for a bench spot.
