If you watched Rovers and had seen the last 3 games I'm sure you'd have a far more upbeat assessment than that. Salford are in freefall only have 17 fit players, Widnes are already stirring the spoon.
IMO there is not the slightest doubt we will finish no lower than 10th we are looking up the table now not down.
I look forward to watching the Salford game.
Against Cas, I thought we rallied superbly to win a point, having been second best for 60 minutes. We could have nicked the win at the end, but we were outscored 5 tries to 4. Away against Cas is a real challenge nowadays, so undoubtedly a good result.
We were very good against Hudds and ran up a score on Salford. However, if your memory stretches back further than that, our record of putting runs of wins together in SL isn’t great, over... well, all our years in SL. Hopefully this where that starts to change.
Even if we win two or even three of our final three before the split, getting
better than 4 home games in the middle 8s is out of our hands. Fingers crossed and that, but we’d need some luck.
If Salford are as hopeless as you suggest, Catalans beating them will put the French beyond our reach. Wakefield and Hudds play each other in round 23, by which point trinity might be safe and less motivated than the giants. Or vice versa. Leeds still have Widnes to come, and Salford.
