But the good news is that we have plenty of improvement in us and there’s no reason we can’t be challenging for 3rd or 4th spot in the 8s. Onwards and upwards.
If you adjust for the disparity in games played using US style winning percentage (draw counts as half a win) the table would be:
1 0.900 St Helens
2 0.778 Wigan
3 0.714 Castleford
4 0.688 Leeds
5 0.636 Warrington
6 0.500 Hull
7 0.500 Wakefield
8 0.300 Widnes
------------------
9 0.300 Hull KR
10 0.300 Salford
11 0.278 Huddersfield
12 0.200 Catalans
At the start of the season I thought we would be 6th but I feel a bit more encouraged after the past few weeks that we can at least challenge for 4th spot.
I would guess that Saints, Wigan and Leeds will be the definites in the top 4 and the other spot will be one from Cas, Hull, Wire or Wakefield. A few weeks ago I would have said Cas and Hull were a cut above and we would struggle to chase down Wakefield but it looks more even now.
