4th place : Sun Jul 25, 2021 8:48 am  

Wigan are likely to return to their losing run on Wednesday against Warrington. Hull kr aren’t going to last the distance in the top half of the table, and with their loss this weekend a win against Hull FC on Thursday will put 4th place well within our sights.

After the injury crisis we had to start the season 3rd place is out of reach, but 4th place is achievable and where I expect us to finish this season, anything can happen in the play offs from there.

It might not change the places but it would reduce the gap in percentages.

At the moment

4th Wigan 66.67%
5th Hull FC 62.50%
6th Hull KR 54.55%
7th Leeds 50.00%

Say Wigan lost this weekend, we beat Hull and even if Hull KR beat Salford, it would be

4th Wigan 62.50%
5th Hull KR 58.33%
6th Hull FC 57.69%
7th Leeds 53.33%

Not saying that will happen, but it shows there isn't a lot between the teams

I think Hull KR Will win quite a lot more games this season.

We really need a good run.

I wonder if we have a lot of must wins games coming?

We absolutely do, we can’t afford to lose to anyone outside the top 3

From where we’ve come from this season any decent run is an achievement. If we can get into the play offs there will be a couple of sides looking over their shoulders.

Not sure yet. It’s not just down to us, we may need some Lady Luck for this year.

Course it does.
It changes all the win percentages.
Ridiculous comment.

I like a man who likes a spreadsheet.

Leeds are a mid-table team, lucky that the playoffs are for 6 out of 12 teams, but I can't see them challenging for the trophy even if they qualify.

Table don't lie, we are a mid table side. Albeit one that's been competitive against or beaten those above it. We have a shot, especially if our injury luck has changed.
