The problem is I reckon KR have more chance of a bright finish especially if they did just happen to beat Wire. I think that they'll play some football and do well the middle 8's. We on the other hand are more likely to finish on a negative losing games with no real chance of getting into the finals. Having said that of the fixtures that we now "repeat" we won 3 , lost one by a point , one by 6 and only got hammered by Leeds here and a really disappointing loss to Hudds at home. The top 4 sides though have improved and we look pretty battered a the moment so I fear the worst.
I think this is called stating the bleedin' obvious but there you go!

think its going to be a long few weeks, but lets not compare us to KR all the time - they're nothing to do with us, and in a different league now






The referee's indecision is final

Poor home fixtures for crowds also, pretty much no away supper, I'd like to start with Cas away, hopefully play Leeds/Saints and Warrington around wembley.

Our home form has been dire so probably better that we have 4 away games. We're not going to make the top 4 so we just need to give it a good shot. I'd still take 7 defeats in the super 8's over the worry of relegation

So would I!

Nothing to lose in the 8's for me, opportunity to have a good crack at it.

Personally, I wouldn't like to face some of those teams with one eye on a relegation. Salford, Widnes, Wakey and Leigh are getting some form.

Rovers games (in no particular order):

Home at:
Bradford Bulls (beat them away)
Salford Red Devils (beat them at home, lost away)
Wakefield Trinity Wildcats (beat them at home, lost away)
Halifax

Away at:
Widnes Vikings (beat them at home, lost away)
Leigh Centurions
Sheffield Eagles

I think the fixtures are 50:50 for them. They've lost to all of the SL sides away, so only playing one of them away is favourable. However, there's still potential to lose at home to Salford (who nearly did them a few weeks ago) and a resurgent Wakefield. Then there's Leigh away, which is a coin flip!

They're currently in a poor run of form. They could be distracted by the cup (if they get to the final, it could be a hindrance to their survival!). 3 defeats would certainly see them in the million pound game.

Rovers will be fine they will win all their home games and Sheffield away, 5 wins will be enough. The only chance would be if they got wembley, even then they would still win 4 games.

Salford & Wakey will not be easy!

Can see them in the 'million pound game' with Wakey.

Widnes
Salford
Leigh
Rovers
Wakey
Bradford
Sheffield

Wakey will be easy at home, I think they will finish top 3 comfy.

I'd love you to be right though.

Should go all out to finish 5th, think we could catch Cas and Warrington.

Gale has a suspected broken jaw (rumoured bad Westwood tackle) and look a bit out if form, hopefully Warrington will be at a Wembley.

I think most Hull fans would be happy with 5th.
