The down side of the structure is that whoever comes 8th or even 7th and has no chance of then making the top 4 - their games could become fairly pointless. We'll see how it pans out. Real pity its not a sunday afternoon, would be probably a record crowd in modern era for this fixture. Both teams playing really well, we'd have a huge following if on the sunday. Brown is the best 6 in SL for me currently, if we can starve him of too much good ball, we'll go well.
You could be right but the way things are going this year I think the team finishing in 8th won't be far behinde the team in 4th and will have a fighting chance with a good run of results to finishing in top 4.
With games left I think we could finish in any position from 4th - 11th

And you could argue so could Cats/Cas/Hudds - makes for an exciting league which is surely what we all want.
Re: Kev Brown - he certainly is the man who makes us tick but give him too much attention and we have ways to change our play. Joe Mellor at scrum half is potentially a better player for us and a few times when Brown gets the attention it creates more space for Mellor, and you'll all know about Heremaia who has been fantastic for us.
Hope you all have a safe journey over - should be a belter.

Would be great to get a win but it's tough there with the plastic pitch being a massive advantage for them
Sorry to disappoint you, Jake, but Widnes have 3 more home games after Thursday namely Huddersfield, Catalans and Salford, all well winnable. Our remaining away games are Hull KR, Castleford and Wigan. Interesting end to season. Should be a cracker on Thursday, and we definitely owe you one after last season, when you absolutely steamrollered us.

No problems with today's disciplinary reviews, although Watts, Mini and Sa did get "no charge", as did Phelps.
Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?

if our forwards get on top again, we stand a good chance! watts and ellis both missed the home game and are atm playing at the top of their game!
Good point that No6, never realised we beat them without those 2.
If we win by 15 we'll go into 6th, draws for the Cats/Warrington and KR/Cas fixtures wouldn't go amis tbh (or even KR beating Cas) as that puts us in a stronger position for the Wakey game should we win and not lose too much ground if we don't win on Thursday.
I hope our next game drop after a good performance routine doesn't come to the fore

Daft as it sounds you'd be better playing Leeds or Wigan so you know the intensity has to be maintained.
