We’re 1 point off 6th place with a far superior points difference to the clubs 1 point ahead of us. Of course 6th place and the play offs are within reach.

I certainly would't be laughing if I'd backed us at 5000/1.

We might scrape the play offs - but no way can we win it.

Plenty said we had no chance of winning against Wigan. The first job is to make the playoffs, if we do make it anything can happen, you’d have to have a very short memory not to realise that.

Bit of a difference between winning one home game and making, progressing in and winning a GF!
Also a big difference between the quality of squad we have now vs the quality of squad we had when we won it from fifth.

If you make the playoffs , there is ashtrays a chance….
Stranger things have happened in sport. Sour depends on injuries and suspensions to whoever is in playoffs….

I agree.
Ashtrays chance.

Regardless of the top six, from the Salford game onwards there is a good chance that Sezer & Austin will get a shot at establishling their half back partnership, and Tet & Holroyd will get a shot at paying back fans and teammates for their disciplinary failings. We'll come up against several teams who have decisively got the better of us in the first two thirds of the season. Avenge the losses against Salford, Huddersfield and Catalans and we send out a strong message to existing and lapsed season ticket holders that 2023 will herald the return of the good times.

Yes agree, plenty of opportunities to finish strongly and get some real positive energy for next season. Still waiting for that good prop to come in though…

Play offs probably out of our hands and having to rely on other results. Will revise this after the Catalan game (first one)

Re: Play offs yey or nay : Mon Jul 25, 2022 8:24 am  

I would say Salford are our biggest competition at the moment. Hull are in decline and Hull KR haven't been doing too well with Warrington three points behind us. If we can win the next three it would put us in with a good chance.

Salford have Saints, us, Hudds and Catalans the next four weeks.

Hull KR have Wigan, Toulouse, us then Saints.

Think to make the play offs we have to win 5 out of 7 that will put us on 13 wins 13 loses 1 draw, that in it self will take some doing and be an achievement, after the horrible start we had.
