I still fancy Widnes to kick on and get into the top 4, if they can get Brown back and fit then the have every chance. I suppose if you're going to do it any year this has to be the one.
I certainly wouldn't waste money betting on anything this year though.'"
I think widnes will tail off when injuries start to inevitibly bite but they'll still make the top 8 comfortably. Other than wigan and wire, it could be any 2 of about 6 or 7 for the other 2 places in the top 4. We should be looking to win at least 4 of our next 5 in which case we should be in with a decent shout

I don't actually think Wigan have been that good this year, everytime I've seen them they've scraped through (good trait to have). Once Wigan get back their key players then i really can't see anyone troubling them to winning the GF.
Think the big problem with looking to win the 4 of 5 is that it generally doesn't work out that way. I've given up guessing what's going to happen this year, Wakey will probably make the top 4 now

wigan were pretty poor when we played them the other week and we really should have won the game comfortably but they have this way of dragging you down to their grubby level then grinding out a win somehow. They're not really scoring many tries but their defence is good which is why they've been winning.
They're also the biggest cheats in word rugby. Everything they do is orchestrated to slow down the other team and give them an advantage. Refs should get to grips with it as they're complete dirge to watch

| Widnes need to keep Brown on the field to keep their current league position intact. No Brown in the defeat against Saints the other day I notice.

Have to agree on this. He is such a pivotal player for them, when he's not there, they struggle.

| I still wouldn't back against a Top a Four of Wigan, Warrington, Saints and Leeds (still expecting them to improve and force their way up the league).
If Hull can back up Monday's victory and pick up more wins in the next few games against Saints, Hudds and Leeds, then we can threaten a place in that Top Four.

If we can win four of our next five then I think that we will be strong favourites for the top 4. If we say 38 points gets you 4th (could be less but I'd be surprised if it's more), then that would leave us needing 10 wins in 17 games, which is very get able.

Agreed, but we are "potential" top four for the first time in a while. If the team continue to throw the play book out of the window and do what they think is right we could do very well.

Probably, but that might change with a win this weekend. It would be nice if Rovers could turn over Leeds too, that would just about end Leeds' top four chances imo.

| I didn't think at the start of the season I'd look at the upcoming fixtures of Saints away, Hudds home, Leeds away & feel quietly confident we can get 3 from 3. More to do with their form than ours, but still, funny season his one.

Yes, a mad season.
Two weeks ago we were questioning whether we'd beat Wakefield and Rovers and now we have a chance of beating three top teams (based upon the last few seasons). Even Saints fans are billing this as a huge game for them. I know we won there twice last season, but normally this would be seen by many as a routine home win.
It looks like Saints didn't rotate as much over the weekend, so hoping that we play well and our fresher legs make the difference in the final quarter. It will be a great win if we can do it and maintain the positivity that is around at the moment.
