These appear to be cropping up on several boards on here, so in a shameless rip-off attempt, we should have one as well:

We surely can't finish lower than 7th, but can we realistically look any higher, and get that elusive home tie in round 1 of the play offs? Huddersfield are our closest rivals, but they have a similar run in to ourselves (on paper, 3 wins, 1 loss) and that would mean we would have to win all 4 to pip them.

At the risk of providing troll-bait, Hull could still end up in this equation, I suspect they will hang onto 5th if they can get a win in London at the weekend. If they fail, then 5th/6th/7th is up for grabs.

Head says 7th with a trip to West Hull or West Yorkshire in Rnd 1 of the Play offs. Heart says stay off the sausages! :wink:

I personally think the top 7 will stay as they are, with Cas and Crusaders fighting for 8th.

Hull to beat Cas/Cru at home.
Us to get beat by Hudds away.
Wigan to beat Leeds at home.
Saints to beat Wire away.

You are probably right, the annoying thing is that the last 30 seconds at Hudds in June will cost us a home tie, and with our home record at the moment, we would take some beating at Craven Park.

If Wigan are clear for top spot, they might (if they have sense) not put a full squad out, so we might get 4 wins. I can see us getting 6th.

Wigan
Wire
Saints
Leeds
:ASS: oles
Rovers
Hudds
Cas

Hull's next two games are crucial as to whether we finish 6th or 7th. I don't think they will beat Warrington or Leeds in their final two games, and if they lose to either Harlequins or Crusaders, that means they will have 30 points, or if they win both, 32.

Huddersfield have Wakefield, Wigan, Salford and Catalans. 3 if not 4 wins leaving them on 31 if not 33.

We have Castleford, Salford, Wigan and Crusaders. Should be 3 wins leaving us on 31.

Huddersfield have a stronger points difference so they will finish above us if we are level at the end of the season. And if Hull lose once in the next two weeks, I think we will finish in 6th above them in 7th and have a home time against them in the play-offs.

Saying that, we have to win 3 of our games, which will be a difficult feat knowing our inconsistency, and Crusaders and Castleford needing wins to finish in the play-offs. 7th place is guaranteed, but I think we will finish 6th.

Both Rovers and Hudds will end above Hull.

Rovers 6th, Hudds 5th, Hull 7th.

In my opinion... ;)

I can see either, if not both, Hull and Rovers games in round 26 being moved for Sky again...
