       I'm not sure how much of a bearing last season's results will
       have on the current campaign. To give just two examples, to
       finish on 52, Bath would have to win only 4 more games. I can
       well imagine them improving on that. Conversely, to get to 20,
       Newcastle would have to win 3-4 games which I can't see them
       doing.

       We’ve only got 2 more away games (2 games at neutral venues) - I
       think this could give us an edge in what’s going to be an
       incredibly tight run-in. The game against Leicester is massive,
       win that and think we’ve got a good chance of top 2. FWIW I
       fancy us to turn up against Sarries at Spurs.

       I agree with most of this, but I won't even make the effort to
       go to spurs, our performances against sarries away from home
       have been so disappointing over the years.

       We used to put in a big performance at home then more or less
       not turn up away. Recently we've been capitulating at home too.
       There was the memorable game at Wembley where Lowe pulled off an
       amazing cover tackle. In away play off games we've started well
       but then dropped off.
       Very frustrating

       Sure - fully agree.
       There is a lot of change since last year - e.g, Newcastle were
       performing a lot better than they are this year.
       But - I think it is still an interesting approach and - it shows
       that Sarries could still be top if they perform as they did last
       year.

       Isn't the wider point that with 7 rounds still to go, anyone
       except Falcons could still finish top if they gain all 35
       points?
       More realistically, I'd think that everyone from Tigers (7th) up
       is still imagining a run to the top. They're only 2 wins behind
       Saints.

       I expect glos to come good before the end of the season and turn
       over a couple of teams. Annoying that we lost to them away

       I'm with Fursty, I fancy us to get a result at the tottignham
       stadium, we're due one. I always remember Goatman's tackle on
       the wing as well against them at Wembley, that won us the game.
       Then it's just Exeter and Enya. Saint's show that if you play
       your game, Exeter can concede tries as well as score them but
       Enya will be a lot harder and a BP or 2 would be a great result.
       It is in our own hands though so let's see what happens....will
       be fascinating

       Goatman was incredible that day also.
