I seriously think its a realistic prospect no wins in how many. We are promised players back since April but were still get hammered by crap sides atm.
So you don't think Sam, Bateman, Lockers, Powell, Farrell, Gelling, Gildart, and Clubb all on the field at the same time won't improve us and we will still be relegation material?
They will but, they will also take time to bed back in from injury. As leeds found last season getting people back isn't a magic switch, the team needs to build confidence back etc.

Don't forget during this time we could lose players who are currently fit, its very rare that any team will ever be at full strength anymore
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure

we are currently 6th on sixteen points, with a negative points difference, Huddersfield and Warrington are 4 points behind us, hudds have a game in hand, we are are 4pts from being 10th and 5 from being 5th (if that makes sense)

we play Hudds after the cup, if we loose that we are in real trouble, the team is in free fall, Bilko tweeted that if we loose to hudds it will be the longest league loosing run since 1903

after that we have Widnes, Warrington and cats on paper all winable, but the team bottom of the league have just put 50 on us

I am suggesting we need to wake up and accept that, unless we get a grip, we won't do so, yes.
To rely on players returning ignores the chilling sight of McIllorum after his recovery, and the rate at which we lose players.
That said, I think we can do it, as Bateman and Farrell must make a difference to the defence, and we must be able to patch Lockers up for the massive games against Widnes and Wire.
One thing I am more and more concerned about is the denial around the club that we are in anything but deep trouble, and that there is some mythical future in which everything turns out right.

Does anyone want a wager on us making the top 8/not making the top 8?
