The only two - must win games this season have been the challenge cup semi and final.

In which we absolutely battered Hull KR and Warrington.

We wont be away to Hull KR in the playoffs - we'd have to finish 4th for that to happen or Warrington would have to finish top. And that wont be happening.

Warrington's easier fixture list gives them the edge for top spot for me. I think our best chance of getting in the top 2 is to get ahead of Hull KR.

There's a lot of rugby to be played yet, in effect we are only just entering the final quarter of the regular season. Every team will lose matches, we just have to make sure that we lose less than the others.

Or just stick to the same number of losses.

Given our game in hand, if we can put Leigh to bed, then we're 2pts clear again.

Probably, but then again the last game we lost last year against Wakey was in early July. I don't think we can be that confident that Wire will drop points before the season's close. Tough games at Leigh and Saints but they're be going big favourites in all the others.

Its in our hands but easy to say, hard to do.

We have Leigh, Saints at Magic, Cats away, HKR at home, all are tough. Leeds away will be tricky although Smith has picked up a ban.

If we can take care of our own form and energy and cut out the silly errors, we should be ok in these next two games. Leigh are playing well and Leeds have improved but you still look at the sides and there is a difference in quality between the 17's of Wigan and Leigh and Wigan and Leeds, especially with Leigh missing Amone and still possibly Moylan and Leeds missing Cam Smith and by the sounds of things, Oledzki.

The issues will come for us if we're short of energy again and can't rid our game of the ridiculous errors that have plagued us in the last 3 games. We did seem to pick up in both of those areas in the second half of the Huddersfield game, so hopefully we just keep that going.
