Would have been a nice result if saints had lost today.

Now 12-20 at Wakey. with Saints down to 12 men with 15 remaining. Saints player probs has 7 left in the bin.

Think it's game over at Wakey with another Saints score

Cas 46-34 Bradford. Play Off place confirmed. Well done to both the team and the coach. Not many outside East Hull gave us a prayer this year.

Saints won, so we are 3 points off them, but they face Wire & Hull next.

Rovers may have a slight advantage in that they will go into the final game at home to London knowing exactly what result they will need if a home play off tie is still possible.

you never know now we just might sneak 6 or 7th come on you reds

Still think we will slip up at Widnes.

Top 8 sorted then. Here's how the table looks in matches between the play-off sides. Several of the teams above us have picked up a lot of their points against the bottom 6. We could ruffle some feathers here.

22pts Huddersfield (W11 L3)
17pts Warrington (W8 D1 L4)
14pts Rovers (W7 Licon_cool.gif
13pts Wigan (W6 D1 L6)
12pts Leeds (W6 L7)
11pts Hull (W5 D1 L7)
9pts St Helens (W4 D1 Licon_cool.gif
8pts Catalans (W4 Licon_cool.gif

Well first objective accomplished, now it's drive for a home draw. The 5 could end up anyway. I'd prefer not to go to cats but any other would do.

I'd be happy with saints either way, we have the edge over them this season.

beat widnes I think you will finish 5th

catalan have leeds and warrington last two fixtures and could end up 8th with us and saints battling it out for home advantage for 6th

Good result all round for both Hull sides

It's now looking probable we will be away in the play offs to either Catalans or Saints. They both need only 1 more win and then we can't catch them whatever we do in our games.

And indeed Catalans away would really be the worst outcome.

We had to do that 2 years ago and as I recall there were no direct flights and the team had 2 days of travel to get there. We lost 56-6 having won there only 2 weeks earlier.

This time we could even have to get there for a Thursday kick off if SKY so decide which leaves 3 days to arrange everything and then get out there and most probably with no direct flights available. Even if we got the Friday slot it would still be bad enough.

I'd say that anyone who has to play Catalans away in the play offs has the odds well & truly stacked against them there would be no time at all to prepare the team for the game. It would be well worth finishing 8th instead of 7th if it meant missing a trip to Perpignan.

My thoughts exactly,a home tie or away to saints,who I feel are set to be 5th.

Saints v Wire
Hull v Saints

I can't see Saints taking another point.

Leeds v Catalan
Catalan v Wire

Catalans wont be favourites in either of their games either.
