Can we finish top 6

Just looked at Wigan observer and shown Londons next 3 fixtures

We could go above them in the next 3 weeks (depending upon results)

We then however have Leeds, Saints - both at home and Huddersfield away (not a happy hunting ground recently)

Does anyone feel we have the squad to make top 6 or is it a step too far this season

I was optimistic after we beat Wire but hmmm... I think it's beyond us now.

Hopefully come back better and stronger next season. :conf:

we will have to beat either saints or leeds if we do finish in the top 6. it would be nice to see us beat one of those 2 and put a smile on our faces as the season ends. its a big ask tho

No chance - London and Wigan have the same six matches in a different order. London have 4 point start + large points difference = 3 wins. We have to win three matches more than them. That means they have to win 1 match gvien that we are going to lose 3 out of last 6. Even if we win 4 (that means beating Salford, Huddersfield, Hull and WIdnes - if they beat one of these they are in the top 6 instead of us. Even if we win 5 (that means beating one of Stains or Whinos) - London only have to win 2 matches (Salford and Huddersfield for exmaple) to get in the 6 instead of us.

We've not got much of a chance - but I'd love the team to prove me wrong and go on to the playoffs and the GF.....

Not a hope.... we must concentrate still on avoiding relegation. We only have a realistic chnace of four more points... Salford and Huddersfield. Concentrate on those and hope Widnes and Leigh carry on in the same vein and press [ctrl] [alt] + [del] on this season!
as we have said on another post looking at widnes games ,6 defeats for us is enough to keep us up :lol: :eh: :exc:

With the lastest blows to Rads and Godwin etc, i dont see it. I am sooooo hoping that we can do Saints at the JJB, thats the one for me, i think we'll see a nice surprise
