I thought these fixtures were worked out on positions after 23 games.It looks like 6 of the top 8 could change positions before this time.How have they worked out who plays who.
Is it not just an example of what they would be based on the standings at the moment? I can't see them being set yet.
Thats an "as it stands list" of fixtures.
It will change as fixtures are played.
I looked at the projections a few weeks ago and thought 4th and 7th was the better fixtures for us because we would get Castleford and Hull as winnable home games at the current time.
We still need to win our 2 remaining games and Salford, Wakefield, Hull to faulter. Also if we can get weaker teams early in the 8,s might help with Barba hoping for an immediate impact on the last 3 games.

The fixtures are decided based on placings after 23 rounds using this grid, the order/schedule is TBC.
Saints games are pretty locked in though if we win our remaining two games (which we probably need to do for them to actually matter). Only thing that could change would be Salford taking a surprise loss away to Leigh which would help us out in two ways; we'd be just one point behind them and would get Hull at home if they win next week at home against Huddersfield.
Wigan get the three worse away games at home, typical (I know this is just theoretical atm)
The way the fixtures stand at the minute I am content with.
Salford @ home is huge and we are dogshite at Salford away
Cas away is winnable as they may put the cue on the rack if we play them in the last game or 2 of the super 8s cause they may rest players.
Leeds away is a 50/50 game. We always battle well at Leeds.
Wigan @ home is a chance for US to make a difference. Saints win big games vs Wigan when we roar them home. 2012 (Greenwood try) 2017 (Percival) have all been knife edge games to which we really made some atmosphere.
Huddersfield at home we should take advantage of. Silly performance if we lose to them. Twice they have took points off us through bad performances
