Nope, it’s a dead rubber for Saints they may rest a few, we need to try win both remaining fixtures

Do you think we do have a chance at 4th then? I haven’t worked out the percentages TBH.

Probably not but id prefer to cement 5th without needing a win against Hull KR

Re: 4th place : Sat Sep 04, 2021 9:54 pm  

Play off finish should be safe after tonight. Key factor is that Cas and HKR have to play each other which hurts their win percentage.I think we just keep putting it out their. I wouldn't be leaving players out. Realistically we probably don't beat either Saints or Catalans unless we can get some halves on the pitch

between the top 3 for me. the rest are making the numbers up.
just 2 or 3 quality additions and we have a chance next year, injuries permitting

Mate we should be a good chance next year.

I’m excited about Sezer, he is a quality player. Thought King played well against Hull, we will need a prop at least as good as him to fill the gap when he leaves.

I expect we might be looming for a new winger after T Briscoe ends his contract, and then really it’s up to the young lads to develop. We’re looking strong again.

Ignoring the percentages and looking at it the old fashion way we’re on 24 points and Wigan are on 26 points having played the same number of games before they take on Warrington today. If Warrington win we’ve got a good chance of finishing 4th.

Re: 4th place : Sun Sep 05, 2021 9:47 am  

Anyone worked out all the permutations? Can we still actually fall out of the 6th? Or are we pretty much guaranteed a play off spot?

Re: 4th place : Sun Sep 05, 2021 10:28 am  

If HKR win all their games and we lose both of ours they will finish above us. However, next week we play Saints and one of Cas or HKR will lose so it will be in our hands when we face HKR last game of the season. If they manage to somehow lose today to Leigh, we’re almost there.

Re: 4th place : Sun Sep 05, 2021 3:00 pm  

So… let’s say we get Mik back, and Gale after we do make the play offs (and don’t suffer any additional injuries).

Myler, T Briscoe, Newman, Broadbent, Handley, Lui, Gale, Mik, Leeming, Prior, Gannon, Martin, Smith; Tetevano, Dwyer, Holroyd, King.

Is this squad good enough to rattle Saints and Cats…?

As Hull Kr have to play Cas its really winner takes the play off spot in that game. ideally assuming if Rovers win today and we loose are last two and cas win just once more we could go out, ideally if Cas beat rovers where home and dry, if rovers win there next two then assuming we lose at saints then we could go out. Rovers realistically have to win there last 3 games which means they have to come to headingley and beat us.
