8th spot seems to come down to 4 teams, us, Hull FC, Hull KR and Salford.
The runs of each team
Bradford 18 points HKR (H), Wigan (A), Crusaders (H), Wakefield (A)
I'd say we have a chance of 3 wins from those 4 games as we're playing a team just ahead of us and two teams below us. So that would leave us with 24 points
Hull FC 21 points Catalan (H), Crusaders (A), Castleford (A), Warrington (H)
That's a fairly hard run for the Black & Whites as only Crusaders are below them. Catalan are on a good run at the moment, Castleford will be wanting to finish as high as they can and Warrington will be pushing for the league leaders shield.
Hull KR points 20 Bradford (A), Saints (H), Catalan (A), Castleford (H)
Again, another tough run in for a Hull club. The only game I could see them getting an easy time of would be against us if we pull another headless chicken performance like the one against Warrington
Salford 18 points Wigan (A), Huddersfield (H), Saints (A), Catalan (H)
Possibly the toughest run out of the 4 with 4 of the current top 5 to play I can't really see Salford picking up another win this season.
So, it boils down to Sunday. A win and the right results else where in the league would see us claw our way towards the play-offs. A loss and the season is officially over.
I know I'm a naive optimist, but where there's life there's hope.
