For anyone who is interested, this is what must happen for us to win the league.
If Manchester (8 games remaining) win 8 games
Ayr (8 games) must lose at least 3 games
Cardiff (11 games) must lose at least 3 games
Nottingham (9 games) must lose at least 1 game

We can not be Superleague champions
A loss refers to regulation time (0 pts)
I have checked each team's remaining fixtures and it is indeed possible (although unlikely) for us to win the league if we only win 3 more games.
