If we were to win this really exciting race to be 8th out of 12, do we all then look forward to 7 completely meaningless games against the top 7 teams?

I can't bloody wait!!!

I've thought that for a while, we have 2 sets of paying supporters that are striving to have there seasons effectively over and finished in 4 weeks time. I posted earlier that the middle 8 (as apposed to finishing 7th or 8th) will be a far better spectacle to be involved in, just a risky place to be if it all goes wrong.

Dont forget "every second counts"

Absolutely. Finish 8th and we can pack up and all go home. It's a very poor structure.

I think it will all come down to the derby. We have a significantly worse points difference than both you and Wire so the pressure will be on us to get the derby win. To be honest I'm not too worried. None of our teams will be in with a shout of the GF and I don't think any of them would come unstuck in the middle 8s either.

It does according to Hetherington and the muppets from the RFL.

Must finish in the top 8, even if we get beat most weeks, makes recruitment and retention easier and you can plan for the year after, also more money from TV, advertising and gates.

I wouldn't be massively confident of finishing in the top 3 of the middle 8's and I just couldn't take a play off game, if we didn't come back up that could potentially finish the club.

I think we will win on Sunday and we must try and get back to playing like we did in May.

Or Pearsons thoughts, "every second costs"

how about a F1 style finish, 4 for a win and 2 for a draw in the super 8's?

I think that you'll still make the eight, with Warrington dropping out.
