Decent I think. Warrington week after the final where they possibly will be and 5 winnable games on bounce in middle.

My take on the fixture list:

Two big games to kick us off. Win both of those and hope Catalans do us a favour v Warrington and we could be 6 points ahead of them with 5 games to go.

Finishing with Saints is a blessing as they're likely to rest players. If we need to win to get 2nd that could be a godsend for us.

The semis are this week. We play Wigan first up and they aren't in the cup semis so there's no benefit there. :)

They could be in the final, though, and so could Catalans if they beat Saints. Could end up playing the cup finalists either side of the final.

We could play saints 19’s and the mental block of playing away at saints would trigger in our players psyche.
It’s gonna take some breaking, one day it will, not sure it’ll be this season tough.

Fri 10 Aug – KO 7:45pm – v Wigan Warriors - Away SKY
Fri 17 Aug – KO 7:45pm – v Warrington Wolves - Home SKY
Sat 1 Sept – KO 7:30pm – v Catalans Dragons - Home
Fri 7 Sept – KO 7:45pm – v Hull FC - Away SKY
Fri 14 Sept – KO 7:45pm – v Huddersfield Giants - Home
Fri 21 Sept – KO 7:45pm – v Wakefield Trinity - Home
Fri 28 Sept – KO 7:45pm – v St Helens – Away

Sky games for rounds 5-7 still TBC
Only issue for me is the first two are games we really do need to win and two of the toughest to boot, but we are unlikely to have Gale back for these.
Gale is aiming to be back for Round 1. I'm confident we'll have him back for at least one of the games.
I think he will play v Wire definitely, if not Wigan before. I bet Roberts is back for Hull. Millo will probably play at least one of oprning 3 games.

Millington and gale were doing some work on the field, not sure when it was but in the last 24hrs.
Think it was cas that posted on twitter both moving free passing the ball to one another at speed. So millington May be back sooner rather than later.

Carbon copy of last year really with saints doing a Cas. Saints will do what Cas did against hull and rest their players just before the semis. Would be disappointed if we didn’t finish second. Cas with players back defo have it in them to win the lot

Not been at his consistently great best this year. Age seems to have caught him a little. Has looked tired often. A few barnstormers but not like he used to be. Hope he is saving something for this last 7-9 games.
