There hasn’t been a lot of talk about the run in or the race for the LLS, but it’s shaping up to be a good end to the regular season.

Each team has to play both Saints and Leeds in the last 6 fixtures, and Hull KR and Wigan play each other too. Both Wigan and HKR have to play Catalan, with Wigan having to travel there.

The Sky Sports helicopter could be needed again!

Hull KR - Catalan (magic), Saints (a), Salford (h), Wigan (a), Leigh (h), Leeds (h)

Wigan - Saints (magic), Hull FC (h), Catalan (a), Hull KR (h), Leeds (h), Salford (h)

Warrington - Leeds (magic), Cas (a), Leigh (a), Saints (h), Huddersfield (a), London (h)

If you judge opposition strength by their current league positions ... we have the easier fixtures. But some clubs are particularly hard to beat at home & Wigan and HKR have the advantage on this. Injuries & suspensions will swing it too. All good fun.

I'd take Wigan out of it, it's between Wire and Hull KR unless French returns very quickly and in very good form.

I think we could make 2nd place this year which is quite exciting. If only we could have won our home game against Salford ...

Our home record isn’t great this season so finishing outside the top 2 wouldn’t be a disaster

Top 3 i'll be happy with, no team we play is an easy win. As long as we find form and energy going in to the playoffs that's all we need.

I'd rather one home game, then potential final.

Second place would be great, but not the LLS. It seems to be unwanted distraction for some clubs, having the effect of convincing the players that they've actually won something. Then they seem to not be up for the actual playoffs.

Even finishing below second wouldn't be too bad. We have a great record away from home.

Wire top 2 on run in.

All comes down on the Pies v Robins game of who will take top.

I’m going Wigan/Wire.

I want the LLS and the GF.
We have a decent run-in. If - and it's a big if - Sam manages to keep them grounded and focussed it could happen.
Game at a time and all that.

Actually winning ONE playoff game will be something we have not done since 2018.

Round 25 will be an interesting weekend, Wire v St Helens and Wigan v Rovers IF the table stays the same or similar.
