It's all down to our attack for me. In most games we're conceding few enough points to win but our non existent attacking is ensuring we lose. If (and it's a big If) we can start to score some tries then we can win enough. 2 games against wakey, 2 against rovers, home game against cas and a win at widnes or les cats are all winnable

You would have to say no, based on the season so far and it will need a massive improvement in all of our attacking play, I can't even really say that I have seen signs of our great attacking play.
Would need to win 2/3 SL games IMO to still have a chance.
Warrington are certainly beatable, they only beat Widnes by a last minute try, got to really go at them.

Favourites to finish bottom 3 with most bookies as far as i know.

In terms of points available and the current state of the bottom six, there is still all to play for.
However, even when we win, we fail to convince that we are anything other than one of the four to drop down come August. Predicting anything in 2015 is proving to be hazardous, but my feeling is we'll be 10th or 11th come the split.

Going to be really close IMO. I think the cut-off may be around 20 points, so 5-6 wins should be enough. On the face of it, we have 7 games we should really be looking at for wins (Rovers twice, Wakey twice, Widnes, Cas and Catalan). Claiming results in those will be crucial because it takes points away from our rivals at the same time. If we can get an unexpected result elsewhere, can we bat at 71% in those 7 games? Were we to lose more than 2 of those I think it will be difficult.

second worst attack in the league, doesn't look like we have a clue in general...I'd say no, we will not make the top 8. I think bottom 3 for us this season.
going from 2 top 6 finished and a cc final to bottom 3 in last 2 season (if that's where we finish this season) I think radders is doing a cracking job
