Come on, so your not even a little bit convinced that we will make the top 4? 4 games left 5 points clear, in good form, come on!!!!

I think Wigan will win there last 4, Don't think we'll beat Saints or Warrington should beat Salford, so the Wakey game is massive, and by no means a shoe in, so yes I do think everyone is being a big premature, I really hope I'm wrong, but all this crowing could leave us with massive amounts of egg on our faces.

With Wire and F.C at home and Cas and Hudds away it will take a massive effort to win all 4, especially with not having the rest this weekend.

Saints are not exactly sitting pretty, although being top would suggest that, but if you look at their remaining games, Hudds in the cup, then Rovers, Leeds, Hudds again and finally Les Cats, with a run in like that they could still slip down the league, I think we need to get 2 more regular rounds out of the way before people start counting their chickens.

I agree it’s not done and dusted by any stretch of the imagination but I do think that a 5 point cushion with 4 games to go is to much for the chasing pack to make up on 4th spot

Confidence is a massive thing, as has been proven with Rovers v Saints in the cup last year and a similar thing happened again this year, if Wigan beat Wire their confidence will be sky high going into th run in, reacon they'll beat wire twice FC and Cas should follow and if Hudds can't go up or drop, they will rest players their last game, so yes I think they may well win their last 4.

Wigan have still to play Wire and Cas. Wire also play Wakefield and Quins - the latter also play Cas (who incidentally go to Leeds next). Wakefield's run in isn't too bad and they do play us. Catalans are probably too far back and they'd need to beat Wakefield to get passed us. All this is assuming we can't beat a post-semi final Wire at home or a Salford team with only pride to play for. Edit: Saints after the CC semi, Wire after the final! It is possible we won't make the play-offs, but just barely.
Top 4, you may have a point. A slightly pessimistic point, but valid nontheless.

I can see fans of a certain club swarming all over these pages should it go pear shaped, you know they play silly games, all this "you will put a cricket score against us" is just their way of setting us up for a fall, lets not do it for them, once its cast in stone I will be the first to crow about it.

They would love it if we didnt make it, but that only comes to show how pathetic their season has been,
