Last night proved we don't need the extra home game as the atmosphere was shocking 16.0 up and everyone was sat silent.

I believe we would probably have lost that game last night had we been away.

We need as many home games as possible.

Our away form is shocking. Only beaten Widnes and Hull kr away from the kcom this season and barely any away wins in about a year in sl. Can't see us winning at hudds with who well likely have missing and wakey will roll us over with their big pack

Agreed. Hopefully 22 points is enough to avoid the Middle 8s as with 10 out I can't see any more wins in the regular rounds.

Obviously it’s enough

Nothing kills a thread like a good, accurate and uncontroversial post.

If you want to keep a thread alive, you need to be provocative and/or somewhat wrong.

Look at the ‘success’ Knockerbump has had posting controversial nonsense. The Mighty F90 was able to reiterate the same point over and over again by slightly misrepresenting something Pearson had said - people just couldn’t leave it alone, like a loose thread or a cavity in tooth. Mrs B used a similar tactic to repeatedly highlight the risk of the council underwriting our mortgage on the North Stand by appending something inaccurate to each post as response-bait.

With some posters I remain unsure whether it is deliberate. With others, i’m pretty certain.

I think we are safe now particularly with points difference as well. Rovers will be praying Cas win and that we roll Huddersfield next week both of which look to be big asks for me. Leeds are at Cas next week where another defeat would put them in real trouble. the other three middle eight Super League Clubs won't want Leeds in there as they will survive no question.

Show us the maths that says we're safe in the 8 please. I can't do it.

The 4 teams directly below us could all overtake us on points, putting us in 9th position.
However, Wakefield play cats, Leeds and Huddersfield. That's 6 points to lose by those 4 teams and I reckon it stops one of them from catching us.

Dont worry Mrs B, we are now secure.

For us to miss the top eight we'd have to lose all four and Leeds, Huddersfield and Catalans would have to win every game AND Wakefield would need at least another win apart from beating us. Wakey's other three games happen to be Leeds, Huddersfield and Catalans so they can't all overtake us.

Still a thread worth keeping open though as the battle to avoid the bottom four is fascinating as will be the middle 8s.
