Looking at the table, forthcoming fixtures and the playoff format.
i reckon we will be away at Oldham, if we lose we would have a home knockout game against a lower qualifier, if we win I reckon we would go to Newcastle.
2 winnable games there in my humble opinion
obviously depends on player availability - if edge is out for the season that is a big blow
Looks like billington is gone and please could we hang on to Nathan Wilde
in the backs, Taylor will be fine and Jack will be back after the fax game and sambou may be available soon
wingers - we have 3 decent candidates there
thoughts ?
Unless I have got the format wrong I reckon we will go to Doncaster away as unless they tire badly due to midweek games I yhink they will go unbeaten from now on & jump us into 4th leaving us 5th.
as I understand it 3 plays 5 and 4 plays 6
so if we finish 5th, which I think we will, we travel to 3, which will be Oldham
I was told it is 3v6 and 4v 5
so we would play Doncaster away and if we lost we’d be at home to Batley/Dewsbury/ Whitehaven. And if we won that one, we’d be away to one of the top 4 , that lost their opening game
I rather go to Oldham away than Doncaster. Just think Donny are stronger.
Doncaster are just our bogey team it’s frustrating!
I think position by position were better but they just always seem to get over us

Not in the home game they were better in every aspect
and we were not much better v Oldham at home either
However yesterday gave some real hope...............
we would peobs not be favs v either but as London found out we can give anyone a game....just need to reduce the errors especially the unforced ones
Exactly like I said !
Results went as expected so 5/6 is the reality unless we give the Sheffield game up
still expect us to go to Oldham, which is a very winnable game
Ok got that wrong. However I had us to beat Sheffield away but that is far from certain now with the 1895 cup shambles having us play possibly the Wednesday before the final. They nearly beat Oldham away today too. It is unthinkable but could we finish 7th?
On current form Doncaster are much better than Oldham. 3 of Oldhams better players have gone to SL since the season started. Donny battered them last week and are the form side.
Barrow play Doncaster and Doncaster play Sheffield so 7th is out of the question unless we give up thevgamev
Widnes’s points difference is a lot better than Barrow’s and Sheffields as well, so we only have to beat Halifax and Workington to guarantee 5th place, unless Barrow beat Doncaster , which is very unlikely.
So we could throw the Sheffield match if the RL make us play it 4 days before the final.
Yes that’s the way I see it - if you throw the game it 48 - 0
if you put out a really basic team you could lose by more - seems pointless, but we will find out when the clowns at the RFL make their decision on the 14th - mind you they may well defer that yet
