Basically its win tomorrow or we face the most pointless derby of the SL era and a very long summer.
Still not a fan of this league format, while there is always teams with nothing to play for in any format, this early split seems to make it seem like the end of the road for for many teams far too early in the season. Under a normal league format we'd still be in the top6/8 and be fancying our Playoff chances when we get players back, while Rovers wouldent be getting a points reset and would still be desperate to win next week to avoid relegation.
Win the next 2, which is feasable, if we play in the same fashion as the Saints game, then we finish on 26 points, only 3 behind Warrington, who I can’t see getting a result at Saints. It’s still on. Warrington are also involved in the CC semifinals so they could well drop points before and after thier game. An added bonus could be they get to the final which will put even more pressure on them, so who knows. Sorry to be so upbeat, I know it’s unusual for an FC diehard on here

If we can hang on to 5th and assuming Wigan defeat Catalans at home next week we'd have Saints, Warrington and Cas away and Wigan at home (other fixtures a bit hard to call). We'd obviously have to beat Warrington so we could do with a bit of luck with the schedule of Super 8 games. Warrington winning the Cup and us playing them the following week would be good.

Not to mention a team that is desined to finish at least 6 points adrift from everyone else, who have been the worst team in the League all season and who should be down after the next round, might yet still survive and not be relegated by the vagaries of the stupid middle eight stuff
