With 5 games to go and looking at who we have left a win against Salford (no chicken counting here) and a.n.other will mean Wigan need 4 from 5 to catch us draws put aside?

Yes you're right mate.

A top-four finish is imperative IMO.

Next week will have a major say in how the top four will finish. With an in form Wigan playing Saints away, and us looking for two points against Cas, a win could see us almost home and dry if Saints do us a favour.

If we win 0 games, Wigan need 2 wins.

If we win 1 game, Wigan need 3 wins.

If we win 2 games, Wigan need 4 wins.

If we win 3 games, Wigan need 5 wins.

If we win 4 games, Wigan are screwed.

Take into account we play; Castleford, Saints, Salford, Warrington then Wakey. They play; Saints, Warrington, Castleford, Hull then Huddersfield. Realistically I see them winning 3 of them games, so one win for us will secure us the spot. Two will keep us safe IMO.

If Rovers play as poor next week at Cas as they did today, they'll get smashed.

You judging that on the fact Hull FC where smashed by Castleford. Remember we aint Hull FC.

he has a point, Cas are a good team.

but there again we're not a bottom 4 team struggling to make the playoffs

Maths and no Mrs Barista. OMG

True! But if we had of played last night like we did at Leeds last week, you would have been "smashed"!

Swings and roundabouts my friend, swings and roundabouts

Is that leeds who got mullered by wigan and struggled to beat wakefield. I hear the only reason you got near them last Friday was due to it pishing it down and levelling it out in your favour. On a dry day they'd have scored 50 against your lot. You can't tackle. We're the 3rd worst attack in SL and still crossed your line 6 times

come early theres road works with long delays on the way to wheldon road. you were lucky last night a bad forward pass decision saved you. see u next week
