So an important two points last night at Salford, and today I have been studying our remaining fixtures plus those of other teams, and the more I think about it, looking at the table as it stands right now, is it only me or does anyone else think that a top 4 finish is still a possibility, and if we managed it, would it rather paper over some cracks that have appeared this season?
I wonder what people's perception of Brian Mac would be if he lead us to Wembley and got us to a top 4 finish, just like Bluey managed in his last year in 2010?

We'll have played very well to finish in 6th, let alone in the top 4.

Leeds will finish 5th. It has been decreed.

Interesting replies so far, but all our remaining games, for me, up to round 27 are pretty winnable, and we have a round 27 clash at the Galpharm which COULD end up being a right four pointer, depending how the Giants go between now and then.

Catalan are nailed on for a win tonight - they're winning 24 - 6 v Quins at the moment. This will put them 4 points clear of us. We'd need to not slip up between now and round 26 (and Catalan lose all 3) just to get into 5th. I'd like to see the odds you'd get from a bookie for a top 4 finish

It's a fair question from the OP given Leeds remaining regular round fixtures against whipping boy SL rabble. Huddersfield's current form places them among the aforementioned rabble.

On current form, Catalan Dragons are the biggest obstacle to a Top 4 finish for Leeds.

The next biggest obstacle to a Top 4 finish is Leeds appearance in the CC Final at Wembley.

I expect Leeds to finish 5th or 6th as my pre-season prediction stated.

We will have to go unbeaten to the end of the regular season and have results go our way, therefore I think it's 5th place at best

Not so firm on the 5th place anymore then?

I predicted 6th pre-season. As the season wore on the trend appeared to be that Leeds were still very good at disposing of the SL whipping boy rabble most of the time, hence my projected belief that 5th was possible.

If Leeds weren't faced with another trip to Wembley, I'd still be confident of 5th.

But they are faced with another trip to Wembley.

5th at best and even if we win the cup the abysmal SL performances with JEDWARD at the helm won't be papered over imo nor willt he ridiculous call to give Kirke a 2 yr deal!

6th is now most likely given the ineptitude of our nearest rivals for said position

Yeah ok maybe a top four finish was a little bit optimistic

so after tonights results I'll bow to poular opinion and agree 6th place is a little more realistic, anything better would be a massive bonus!
