I agree tigerman. Obviously i want us to keep winning but i won't be too gutted if we miss out. I just can't see us turning anyone over and expect we'd just fizzle out of the play offs with a nothing performance if we made it. But, feel free to prove me wrong Cas!

People say the KR have nothing to play for but surely their not going to want to go into the play-off on the back to back defeats, they will want some momentum going in.

I can't help thinking that, assuming there's still going to be an element of 'contributing to the competition' in the forthcoming license applications, it's going to be pretty important that we do all we can to make the eight. We need as many ticks in boxes we can get to be honest.

really hope you can get in the top 8 i will be rooting for you

Re: Cas or 'Saders then... : Sun Aug 22, 2010 11:33 pm  

Look lets all get real, the RFL has said already that a NL1 club will be admitted into SL next year,


So it doesnt matter a hoot that the licence applications are being fair between all, one has to go.

I mean its a fair and even selection process for all.

Just because they have stipulated one of the super league teams will be relegated is nothing what so ever, to do with knocking some club out before any have applied.

We dont want to pre-empt the selection process do we ?

Been as it looks likley that Hull will finish 5th and so will face Castleford or Crusaders at the KC, does this mean you fancy your chances against Castleford as opposed to the Crusaders?

You do realise we have an 83 point advantage over Crusaders. That means if they lose, we would have to lose by at least 84 points to lose the spot.

Yes I realise we have a far superior points advantage, but we are playing Saints, a side that is notorious for tonking us over the past few years.

And FWIW I think Crusaders will turn KR over anyway

We wont finish 5th, Hudds will beat Catalans, which means the loser of Hull/Leeds would finish 6th, if it's us it would be a derby playoff against Rovers at the KC.

I think a derby play-off would be a sell-out but Leeds have a few out, if Long and Hall are back surely you can have a good chance of beating Leeds and finishing 4th? Don't be wasting that point you had of us

You think a weakened Saints team will beat you by more than 80 points
