2 great results tonight with hull and cas losing Two awesome results for us tonight in games that could have gone either way! A Wakey win on Sunday would be the cherry on the cake leaving us in total control with 2 games to go. It's going be such an exciting end to the season!! |

How valuable would those two deserved points that were stolen off us at Saints be now. And if Wigan hadn’t been given their two points back that were deducted at the start of the season, we would be looking comfortable in 2nd now. But we have shown we can beat anyone anywhere, so the Grand Final is a real possibility.

My main concern is Wigan. They’ve beaten us 3 times and we’ve never really looked like beating them. Whilst we haven’t beaten saints we’ve looked like we might do. Not so much with Wigan

Not so much with Wigan Apart from the time they scored on virtually the last play of the game at the AJ Bell. We let a high bomb bounce straight into the arms of Williams, quick pass out and they win the game. |

But we have shown we can beat anyone anywhere, so the Grand Final is a real possibility. I’m more thinking of the things that have been in our control - Cas away, the penalties we gave away at saints to give them field position, magic weekend performance, the first home games against Leeds and Huddersfield, Wigan at home. There the things that have cost us being comfortably in second place that we could have done something about But we’ve learned as we’ve gone and we’ve shown we can grind out and win close games. That will help in the upcoming games |

But since then they’ve been in much better form and outplayed us last time. I’d like to avoid them as well.......until the Grand Final at least 😉 |

Yeah maybe I’m being a bit harsh but I still feel like we didn’t play well enough even in that game to win - too many mistakes and Wigan controlled a lot of it when they weren’t in very good form. I guess we owe them one |

Other results continuing to go in our favour. Catalans are out of the hunt now. Just need Wakey to do us a favour over Wigan for a perfect round of results for us. Annoyingly, a Leeds win is probably in our interests too.

One more win and we are playoff bound. What a season.
After the Huddersfield home loss I thought we were done but how wrong I was. A slight change to the team, a few heathy bodies back and we are the team nobody wants to face at the moment.

I want London to stay up. So KR winning was disappointing as it makes it a lot less likely. Catalans were never going to keep us out of the top 5 with the points difference
Cas losing was good for us. Let’s hope London beat Leeds tomorrow and we do them on Friday to keep them in the mix for going down
Going in to the last weekend with us playing for 2nd or 3rd and Leeds, Huddersfield and KR at risk of going down would be incredible

That will help in the upcoming games Let's forget about all that, this is different team that we have now towards the end of the campaign. Every side in Super League could probably say similar things about tough tosses they've had to take. Saints have lost two games to London this season. We need to be focusing on the positives and there are plenty of them, especially as of late. Win our last two and we'll make the top 3 IMO and that will be a fantastic achievement regardless of any off days we've had in 2019. |

A slight change to the team, a few heathy bodies back and we are the team nobody wants to face at the moment. Same here after the Castleford & Wakefield home performances I thought we'd take them to the cleaners but that was easily our worst performance of the season. The turnaround from them has been absolutely unbelievable. I believe Jacko & Tui didn't properly jell until the Wire away game and then the introductions of Rowley & Josh Johnson has given us a massive boost. Leeds win tomorrow and it's a nothing game for them next Friday and I think we'll take them however bad our record is at Headingley. We owe them one after last season. |

However tomorrow's game finishes that Hull KR v London game next week should be very entertaining. |
