If KR lose at Catalans tonight...theyre on the way 12-0 down, we'll be only 5 points off third and 4 off 4th providing wakey do hudds tomorrow. Providing we get a run on, im feeling third is possible. The question is, can we go through our remaining 8 matches with only droping 2-4pts which i feel we will need to do. If we can only lose to saints away, and/or leeds at home, then 3rd could be a possibility.

What you think?

I was very confident of a turnaround after last weeks performances but I'm more reserved after hearing of the injuries to Sean O'loughlin and McIlorum. Both rumoured to be out for 6 weeks.

McIlorum has added a new dimension to our attack and will be a big loss but O'loughlin is so pivital to everything we do in attack and defence I fear we will struggle.

Both were in a rich vein of form as well.

If we did, would you give Noble a big fat kiss?

Not getting too carried away, still think we'll finish 5th.

It's annoying to think how many games we've thrown away this season, we should be right up there pressing HKR for 3rd.

Any team with 10+ losses shouldn't deserve 3rd place in my opinion.

Doesn't matter where you finish this year as long as your in the 8

I said after 4games, we'd finish 6th and I still think it's a safe bet!

KR's form dipped, Quins Form Dipped, Hudds and wakey are hit and miss.

Got a good chance, Im getting well excited about the semi final and the league game at JJB now
i always prefer to play teams in form it makes it more exciting to watch

I certainly think we'll make top six, but as has been said, the exact position is almost meaningless once we get into the play off system.

The fact that we are going to be anywhere near the top is a reflection of just how poor the league is this season to be honest.

Top 4 should be the aim, especially with the new play off system, but the way we've started this season I think now 5th and 6th to guarantee a home game is the mimimum aim.

What is in our favour is points difference. It's pretty healthy and the big win over Quins flipped their advantage right round to us.

To achieve anything in the play offs this season though we definetly have to win the next two games to go into the four massive games against Leeds, Saints and Wire (twice) full of confidence.

I never like looking too far ahead and predicting results for weeks and months in the future.

I'll say the same as I said last week - just focus on one game at a time and we'll see where we end up come the season's end.

Catalans next and they're coming into a bit of form. Looks like we'll have to cope with some inexperience in the backrow and a bit of a rejig with the pivots. There may be some positives to come out of both of these things however - the possibility of Leuluai at hooker and a Farrell debut.

Was thinking of this earlier today. Looks like we might be going on a Brian Noble special - i.e hitting a rich vein of form towards the back end of the season.

Obviously the injuries to Mike Mac and especially Locky are going to affect our current form significantly though.
