I think we are pretty much safe in the top 4 now (despite the awful rugby) but who do we think will join us? It's almost certain it's 3 from 4.
Wire threw everything at the piescum yet succumbed to a gargantuan defensive effort, but they play Leeds this week, who have just named a much-weakened squad with one eye on the CCF. Can't see anything but a Wire win, which puts them back into the 4.
Then the piescum travel to Catalans. Another '4-pointer'. If the piescum win, I think they're almost home as well. A Catalans win, though, and it opens that wider chase up.
The mad, fixture-congested period sees the following key games:
Saints - Leeds, piescum, Catalans, wanky
piescum - Catalans, Saints, Leeds
Catalans - piescum, Wanky, Saints
Wanky - Leeds, Catalans, Saints
Leeds - Wanky, Saints, piescum, Cas (twice - I know Cas aren't in the mix, but they're local rivals so likely to give it some)
I think at this stage, I'd put Leeds as most likely to drop out. I think they'll beat Salford (but... come on Salford!!!) to win the CC and consider their work for the season accomplished.
