Are you sure the bruised kidneys werent a delayed reaction to the Leigh game at the start ofthe season ? , we seem to be being blamed for everything else

I was under the impression that thinking everything revolves around you had a part to play in that, though I've no doubt that had he played today your number 2 would have found someone else to go in knees first on.

Not unrelated, but not really a reason to hate anyone, you have the highest number of posters to these forums who talk about themselves in the third person. It's really odd.

Please oh please can we have Bradford back in S.L

.

How I miss those epic match-ups, those titanic showdowns. I’m sick of Cas being the nearest thing to a full-blooded derby, what with their obvious interbreeding an’ all.

I’d love it if Wakefield, that sick note excuse of a club, was banished from the top flight forever.

Go you Bulls, I’m getting dewy-eyed already at the thought of resuming our big city rivalry.

Mr L.Oiner.

I thought you were above a "in the gutter" dig at Cas. The strain of this season must be getting to you...go for a walk or something.

This ^^
Wakey are on life-support. Bulls to pull the plug out.

I didn’t realise satire was dead in Cas these days.

It’s been a fair few years since the outcome of a spectator sport has any bearing on my life, in fact probably the last time, Freddy “Blower” Fenton was still prowling the Princess Street stand, waving his hanky.

The only strain I have is someone coming along to buy my house, and then I can accomplish my plan to get the hell out of this country.

So here's how we stand...

3. Salford 8pts (+46)
4. Wakefield 6pts (-3)
5. Bradford 6pts (-39)

Salford to play Widnes and Hull KR.
Wakefield to play Sheffield
Bradford to play Halifax.

For automatic promotion, Salford are going to need to get 30 put on then in both games (possible) and Sheffield would need to run Wakey close or beat them (not highly likely) whilst Bradford would be to put about 40-50 on Halifax (not highly likely either).

I think there's a very good chance it could be Salford vs Bradford in the MPG. I can't see Wakey being held close by Sheffield (they start well but fall away at the end of the game), and Widnes and Rovers are by far the best teams left. Even a couple of course defeats (say by 10 points) leaves Wakey only needing a 30 point win over part time opposition.

Still all to play for.

I'd suggest that, IF Salford lose both of their games and Wakefield win against Sheffield, the 49 point differential would disappear anyway.
Mind you Salford have their destiny in their own hands, it's up to them.

Well we are safe!! Good luck Bradford!!

I think Wakey will have too much for Bradford.

Well, our game next week looks like being a corker!

Rovers have 12 points and are on +92.
Salford have 10 points and are on +60.

32 point seeing. With Salford having the better points for, a 16 point victory will see them top the group.

It's a shame there isn't a prize to play for in this. A Super League Plate or something would at least be something to market. (I'd say SL Shield but it might confuse with the League Leaders Shield).

Like I said, should be a corker.

Would you really want to give out a trophy to the 9th best SL club, RL is getting like school sports day

As a Rovers fan and my club being favourites to take any 'prize' for this competition, I would have to disagree. My take on it is that we were poor in SL for various reasons and finishing 10th is nothing to brag about. OK, we have beaten everyone in the middle 8's so far, but to be presented with some bit of silver will be embarrassing, lets get Salford out of the way and get working on 2016.

Agreed, a place in SL in 2016 is prize enough.

A place in Super League at stake, to be played in state of the art stadiums.

Should be played at a decent neutral venue.

What if Leigh had finished fourth should the game have been played at L.S.V?

When the RFL devised the system should they have stipulated the venue would be dependent on facilities?

What would the advantage of finishing 4th be if that was the case? At least this way (same as the Super8 playoff semi finals) the teams finishing higher have homee advantage.

If the game was played at,say, Headingley would it get a larger crowd?. Possibly more neutrals would go?

What is the revenue split from the gate anyway?

this is one of my narks about the football league.

Finish top, get a trophy and get promoted.

finish second, get promoted.

Win the play offs and technically finish third, get a trophy and get promoted.

Doesn't make any sense.

The side finishing second does actually get a small 'memento' (also known as I can't remember whether it's a cup or a shield) in recognition of being promoted, but I've never known it to be presented on the field or owt.

Think you're right Matt they get a shield similar to our LLS

I get your point about state of the art stadium but, why ?

There is home advantage for the club that finishes 4th, it's not too hard to understand.
Plus, it's not exactly the Grand Final
