Each game we win, you can cross off the lowest percentage. Each game we lose, cross off the highest. At the end of the season, you'll have our final %.

You can also work out that if we win 1 of our remaining games, we'll finish in the top 6. This is because our lowest possible percentage with 1 win is 56.0 (that's if we lose the other 2), and neither Hull or Hull KR can make 56 or more even if they win all 3.

Love the positive approach!

And just suppose we won the GF from 4th. In 10, 20 or 50 years time, it would still say Wigan on the trophy - no mention of how we played in August.

And we'll have star men Isa and Powell back for the run-in.

Well given some of our own fans will write off the achievements of the 80’s and 90’s as having been bought I’d not be so optimistic winning it this year wouldn’t be dismissed at least for the next 20 years.

How does the minimum 18 games to qualify affect things if at all? Are any teams above us going to be excluded due to not having played 18?

There is no doubt this season has been distorted by fixture cancellations but the cynic in me says if Les Cats, Saints, Wire or Leeds had not got the numbers they would change the rules anyway.

CATS: 82.6 / 87.0 / 91.3
STS: 71.4 / 76.2 / 81.0
WAR: 64.3 / 69.0 / 73.8

It's on the assumption that all play 2 more games, so the columns are final percentage with 0/1/2 wins. Any draws would give a different result!

CATS: 82.6 / 87.0 / 91.3
STS: 71.4 / 76.2 / 81.0
WAR: 64.3 / 69.0 / 73.8

CAS: 47.8 / 52.2 / 57.6
HULL: 40.5 / 45.2 / 50.0
HKR: 45.0 / 50.0 / 55.0

We are now guaranteed to finish above Hull, as they get to 50% if they win 2/2. We get 52% minimum.

To finish above Leeds, we have to win as many as they do. So if we beat Hull, Leeds have to win both of their matches to finish above us....including Saints away!
