Saints look like they could be the form team coming into the Super 8's and look good for a Top 4 place.
Think we just need to play the long game and aim for Top 4, which will be 3rd/4th. Then back ourselves in the semi finals.
I think Cas's lead may hinder them and they could lose some of the form. Therefore, 4th may be a good position to finish and target a trip Cas in the semi final.
First things first, we must win tonight and show some intent that this season we after looking for a Double, not just a Wembley win.

Think a win tonight is crucial and a must to be honest after St's win last night. Still think winning 4 games should be enough to make the top 4 as that would mean both Salford and Wakefield having to win at least 6 (or 5 plus a draw) and Wigan to win all 7 to go above us. We need to be able to back up last weekend SF performance and show we can sustain the momentum needed at this stage of the season.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!
We have a chance for 2nd IMO. I think Wigan will win tonight, as will we. We will be 1 point behind Leeds and I just think we will have enough to get past them, regardless of the fact that we are in the Final and we play them the Thursday after

And us, cas and saints. 4 wins will be enough for us. 3 of us, wigan and saints IMO but wakey could sneak in there if 2 of those slip up

I'm not so sure. Even if they lose tonight, factoring in the post final game, we'll need to win 2 more games than them in the other 5 matches we have. I thin with the cup distraction we'll probably end up 4th.

Tend to agree with Wilde that we do have a chance of 2nd place, it may well come down to the result in the match between us both at Headingley, it will be tight but definitely a chance especially with the reward of a home tie.

We need to win 5, maybe 6 of our last 7 which would be tough without wembley but I just don't see it with us being in the final. On our day we can beat anyone home or away so I think radford will be more worried about managing the squad and getting into the play offs rather than worrying about where we finish in the 4. Realistically, we blew our top 2 hopes when we lost to leigh and les cats at home and les cats away. 6 points thrown away against teams in the middle 8's now
