Warrington fans are saying the exact same. Wanting us to beat Widnes today so they get the supposed better home/away run in.

Looks like we will need to win all our home games to be sure of a top 4 spot. Those 3 Away’s arent great grounds for us historically.

We should be aiming for no less than 10pts

3 at home and one away.

Catalans
Wakey
Hudds

Away
Hull.

Warrington saints and Wigan will be massively tough.
Well see.

Hull F.C. are shot.
We should be looking to get a win there.

The journey on the M62 is a major factor in teams performances these days for trans pennine fixtures.

They'll not be so keen to visit us either.

Can’t see anyone being happy coming to our place.

A lot will depend on when/how the fixtures fall.

If it favours us we will get:

- Teams in 5, 6, 7 & 8 when they mathematically can't get in the top 4
- One of the losing cup semi finalists in the first round
- Both cup finalists either side of the final

Knowing our luck it will pan out the opposite of that!!

Given the "every minute matters" mantra the bosses came up with on the Super /middle 8 launch they will try and make it interesting fixture wise. Maybe give us Hudds home then Saints away to try and give the former a sniff.

What does fourth give us?

Home: Hudds, Hull, Catalans, Saints
Away: Wigan, Wire, Wakey
So we have avoided France either way.
I think 10 point cushion on them plus CC distraction puts them out of the running.
I think fourth gets us a trip to France - which is best avoided!
