Has a Cas fan I think the Bottom 4 will remain the same now Wakie Salford Hull KR and Widnes I think Widnes have to play Giants at home and us and Wigan away only leaving them 2 winnable games.

Salford v kr games could define each others season, ideally 1 win each would be good for us

hard to say with us - we could win 5 or we could win 1 of the last 6. think we might squeeze into the 8 with 3 more wins but 4 should see us definately get there.

fancy us to beat wigan for some reason

I think 2 wins against wakey will see you there,one other win would make sure for you.

Agree with this. Today I saw 2 fairly average teams, Widnes were (Wakefield aside) the poorest team to visit Craven Park all season.

widnes and les cats are gash away from home. Only their unfair home advantages make them competitive in this league

Personally feel that another three wins will probably put us in the top eight come the split. To miss out on 22pts will require one of Widnes, rovers, Salford to win four or five of their remaining fixtures which looks a tall order.

Apart from the Leeds game, the rest look winnable given our recent form & attitude. The only nagging doubt I have is what if we've had our good run and the scales are about to tip back again. A dip in form could easily see us lose 5 of our remaining games with all the negativity that will ensue.

All things considered we should make the eight from here, but this is Hull Fc we're talking about and if there is one thing that my many years of watching has taught me, it's that we never ever do things the easy way.

I think the Widnes result makes up for us losing at Cats to a certain degree but we have to have a decent performances against Leeds.
Play badly and/or get battered and they'll be going into the Wakey game not only under pressure because they'd be a huge expectation to win but 3 losses on the trot knocks a bit of confidence.
In some ways don't mind losing the league game if we win the CC match as that'd be a great boost before the Wakey games.

Two massive games this weekend regarding these positions:-

Widnes v hudds.
Widnes lose they are in trouble with a maximum of 19 points they can achieve, that should put them below us.

HKR v Wire.
Warrington are the interesting team for me, some really tricky fixtures and they are inconsistent at best. If rovers beat them this sunday, I think we will finish above Wire. Also puts HKR really back in the mix.

Great league this year.

I dont know about all these "winnable" games. Each and every game from now till the split is hard to call. Although Wakefield are a poor side I dont expect them to roll over and die when we play them. They have to win sometime don't they? But beating them twice would give me a lot more confidence. Leeds away this week I don't expect to get anything out of but am hoping for a win the week later in the cup. A few games where we haven't closed out the win or should have been more clinical could still cost us (Salford away Catalans on Saturday and Wire at home) I suppose thats what the "Super 8's" is all about and the fact it could go down to the last game to decide who is in the top 8 is a win for the RFL.
