Massive games this week, a must for Leigh. Wire v Cats massive for Wire,Hudds v Pies who can call that? Widnes game is massive. Top 8 is still very much alive.

To be fair Atomic:

Top 8 is not looking likely - Heres why!

Up until the end of the regular season the bottom 6 clubs play each other 10 times.

Widnes v Leigh
Huddersfield v Wigan
Warrington v Catalans
Catalans v Leigh
Wigan v Widnes
Huddersfield v Widnes
Warrington v Leigh
Catalans v Wigan
Wigan v Warrington
Huddersfield v Leigh

There are 10 points on offer - we are already 6 points behind Wigan and Huddersfield -top 8

If they win 2 of the remaining 5 games they have as good as pushed us into the bottom 4

We have to win all 5

Realistically we should be looking at 9th or 10th to get the extra home game.

Its achievable (we are only 2 points off 10th (Warrington) and we have to play them yet)

Its not impossible, but either Huddersfield or Wigan would have to seriously implode

I dont see you mentioning Saints v Salford? Saints must play a part also!

Granted we must win all.

Saints are not bottom 6

I was only going off those - they are another point above Huddersfield and Wigan

Thats 7 in front of us

Yes, but we have 5 to play = 10 points. Saints are on 17

Saints fixtures.

Salford
Leeds Rhinos
Hull FC
Catalans Dragons
Wakefield Trinity

Yip I see, but they only play 1 from the bottom 6 (4 pointer)

The other 6 play each other 10 times, so they will all be taking points off each other, thus bottom 6 teams will be getting points no matter which way you look at it.

Also saints are + on points difference, the rest are -

and look who they play:

3 teams that are semi-finalists in the CC (that could have a bearing) and 1 near the bottom.

If they win 1 from 5 I think they are safe, in fact they are no-one below them (bottom 4) can catch them because they all cant win all their games

Think we might have slightly driffted off topic here

Don't know what all the fuss is about we going to be bottom 4 we not getting out of this I'm happy with the progress and signings we making to stay in the SL we got to look to next season now and think as this one as a positive if we avoid the drop

Staying on topic,should we win the next 4..Salford would be a huge game..

Could've done with the extra couple of days rest then...
