You can play it down all you want but anything below 6th this season really would be a poor outcome now and below what this group of players should be achieving. if we finished 6th but were in with a chance of top 4 with a couple of round left I'd say that was a decent enough season.

cas have been really badly hit with injuries so they're doing well to be where they are. It will be interesting to see how saints go with a few players back now.

widnes are looking pretty gash, salford will be bottom 4 with a points deduction although you are right that wakey are better but they did still beat us last year

We are now five clear of Cas with their supercoach Powell. Four clear of 6th placed Widnes who we've still to play at home. A shame that Saints got a win on Friday.

As fun as Sunday was it's no indicator that we can suddenly be confident of reeling in the lines of Saints, Warrington, Huddersfield. 6th would be an improvement and a cup run would be great. That said, there are a few in our squad approaching the end of their careers - Ellis, Pryce, Mini etc - so there'll be extra appetite to do something in the cup IMO, draw permitting.

I didn't reference Leeds directly but said this:
So you could infer that I thought Wigan, Warrington, Catalans, Saints and Huddersfield would finish above us. I still think 6th is about right, 5th a possibility. 4th, as you say - nowhere near.

They were truly abysmal today. The table is starting to take shape now, and I can see the current top 5 staying that way, with only a couple of minor place adjustments.

Tomorrow's hearing will be interesting.....
