Qualify for the 8's, have a real go, once we can't finish on the 4, build for next season, play some youngsters and players that will be here next season.
As long as we finish in the top 8, recruitment is much easier, it will be a gamble for players if you are in the middle 8's
Away at Wigan Warriors Huddersfield Giants Catalans Dragons Warrington Wolves
Blimey. When you see it like that..
Tough fixture list yes', but it's what you expect if your 8th, Id be happy with us making a good effort, pulling off a couple of shock wins and at least get some optimism back. Also while those home games are tough it's probably the best combination for the club to pull in some good crowds. I reckon you could easily get an extra 3k people a game in for those games compared to what we'll get for a 'middle 8' game.

Maybe looking forward to a winnable semi final against Warrington in the Challenge Cup would prove preferable to most fans than facing a season defining week against basement dwellers Wakefield Wildcat's (Liam Watts in HDM today), but everyone to their own

Catalan do pretty well out of that fixture system. With their complete Jekyll & Hyde home & away form they get home games against both of the teams below them.
