Don't understand why the Wigan game is on Friday night, if it's not on Sky. I may be having a "mature" moment, but from what I can see, neither us nor Wigan are involved in the following week Thursday or Friday game, so unless I'm missing something ....................

Thought that myself.
I'm sure I saw on Twitter somewhere that it was out of the clubs hands. Not sure why.

The only reason i can see is that the following week we play Warrington - and Warrington are playing on the Thursday night before we play wigan, so maybe the club are trying to make sure that we have a similar amount of recovery to Warrington

Don't some clubs choose to play on Fridays?

Anyway, whilst it's a big ask to make the 4, I still believe we can have some impact on the rest of the season.

It is interesting to look at the figures.

Last year (2015) teams needed 20 points to be in the top 8. Needed 28 points to be in the top 4 (after 23 rounds).

This year (2016) teams needed 20 points to be in the top 8. Needed 28 points to be in the top 4 (after 23 rounds).

So just the same!

Last year (2015) teams needed 38 points to be in the top 4 (after 30 rounds).

So it is highly probable the same will be true this year. Cas have 21 points now. If they win all 7 games (unlikley) they will still only have 35 points.
Be reasonable - do it my way!

Think we have a real chance if we win all 7, but unfortunately highly unlikely that we'll win all 7!

I will be more than happy if we can win our home games any other wins would be a bonus, it would be nice to say goodbye to the players leaving after our last home game with SWEET CAROLINE being played

I would like us to beat Saints and Wigan as the only two teams that we didn't take a point off this season other than Salford who we beat in the cup

Unfortunately even if we do win all 7, we need Catalans and Saints to utterly collapse. Which I can't see happening (well, maybe to Catalans).

I thought we needed saints to lose 4?
One to us, then also the top 3 too.

As you say, we need Saints to lose 4 also Catalans to lose 3, plus the small matter of ourselves winning all 7.
It would be a nice start if Warrington could do us a favour and beat Saints next Thursday, then Widnes do a job on Catalans a week on Saturday, but of course, if we don't manage to beat Hull next Friday, then the improbable could well become the impossible.

I know its ifs and buts, but if we would have taken more than 1 point off hull kr the top 4 would be very reachable
