Been going through the fixtures to work out all the possibilities.
Current table:
Saints 28
Salford 28
Leigh 27
Catalans 26
Leeds 26
Fixtures: (my lousy predictions in brackets)
SAINTS
Wire A (L)
Cas H (W)
Leigh A (L)
SALFORD
Catalans H (W)
Hull FC A (W)
Wigan A (L)
LEIGH
Cas A (W)
Hull KR H (L)
Saints H (W)
CATALANS
Salford A (L)
London H (W)
Hull FC A (W)
LEEDS
Hull FC H (W)
Wigan A (L)
Hull KR A (L)
Would leave the final table:
Salford 32
Leigh 31
Saints 30
Catalans 30
Leeds 28
Boldly assuming a win against Cas, it would be very unlikely that we miss the playoffs given Leeds' run-in and Catalans inferior points difference.
Leigh away a huge game for them as a defeat could well see them drop out. A win for us would put us in 4th and give us another home game, and a loss would mean Warrington away first up.
For what it is worth I think Saints will make the top 6 but my point still stands that mathematically one win doesn’t guarantee Saints a playoff spot. If your predictions are correct then a Saints trip to Warrington would be very tasty. Also, I wouldn’t put it past Wigan or HKR to falter next week as this Friday’s fixture is akin to a GF game and it can be extremely challenging to perform the week after such a big game.
