Technically yes that could happen (but on the wild assumption you're talking about this season and Bradford's finishing position) the nearest they can finish to Leeds or St Helens is 15 points behind with a high probability of it ending up 17 points.

yet wins 4 games at the end of the season to end up with 16 wins to 12 loses
How do Bradford win four play off fixtures while at the same time managing a two game reduction in their loss column?

That's the system and as pointed out the chances of Bradford reaching the Grand Final from 8th ought to be minimal. They should go out first V Wigan the same as they have the two previous seasons.
