Right, to be involved in SL's Barrages (or play-offs as they are called in the UK) we need to finish 8th. We are a game in hand from 8th, but need a 100+ point victory to make it in one shot because of our poor defence.

To make les play-offs we would need to win all our home games (which should be doable) and would want to win against at least two of Bradford, Wigan and huddersfield away. Tough but not impossile.

If we don't make it, I think it would be a good idea to take the Dragons on a tour of the south of france, playing LER clubs as a warm-up to the 4N.

I never really considered the gap between the end of the season if we dont make the playoffs and the 4 nations starting, that could be a disaster for France.

Well we can forget the play-offs now, methinks. So something needs planning.
