We're all on 29 points. We can all assume Gateshead will beat Doncaster so we have to do better than Batley. It's as simple as that. To be honest, I think we're knackered because the other teams now have an opportunity to send us down. There have been far to many questionable results this season for this to be a coincidence.

If Leigh, Batley & Gateshead win next week & Toulouse lose to Fax then Toulouse will be second from bottom. As Toulouse cant be religated will they religate Leigh or make an exception to the rules & keep us in due to the fact that we wasn't in the bottom two?

we're playing sheeite! Batley will win!!

I dont know wether laugh, cry or wet miself!

Here is the rfl statement

[size=150From 2009, [utwo[/u teams will be relegated from The Co-operative Championship to The Co-operative Championship One.*[/size Teams in league positions 2 to 7 in The Co-operative Championship One will qualify for the playoffs, with the winner of the playoff final being promoted, along with the team positioned first after the regular season, to: The Co-operative Championship.

In 2009 the total prize pool for both leagues would be in excess of £200,000 with the winner of The Co-operative Championship receiving £100,000.

[size=150*Please note: Toulouse Olympique XIII are exempt from relegation and will remain in The Co-operative Championship should they finish in the bottom 2.[/size


The term two teams means that 9th place will go down if Toulouse finish 10th.

Good luck next week guys. Hope to see you next year.

we'll see billyfax! Batley or gateshead may lose. We've beaten Whitehaven this season & we'll do it again im sure!

Straws; clutching at etc.

You'll lose to Whitehaven, Gateshead will beat Donny easily and batley will get something at Fev. It may come down to points difference, which won't favour you at all.

At least you'll save a bit of money on away games next season.

If results go like this

Barrow Leigh and Fax all win by 13 , Batley win and Fax win .
The table will be
Barrow 46
Fax 43
Wid 39
Sheff 39
Haven 39
Fev 37
Ghead 32
Batley 32
Leigh 32
Toul 30
Donny -1

It would be a travesty for them to relegate you instead of the FRENCH , and would bring further shame on the morals and questionable ethics of the RFL.

gutted but the table dosnt lie we simply havnt been gud enough the season as been a disaster we made one big sighning in stuart donlan and that wasnt gud enough at this level only pray now that we beat haven and fev beat batley but we really shouldnt b in this posistion

But, coming from where you come from, you know that can happen, with a French team, eh?

Or even a Welsh one!

It's all just SO unfair!!!!

Batley will do well to get 1 point.

well with signing the likes of robbie paul & ricky bibby & others if we did go down we'd demolish the championship one & make it pretty embaressing for some clubs!

To right , thats why if things go as badly as I posted I would be gutted for you.

For member clubs to allow this to happen once was bad enough , but letting it happen again to suit the RFL masterplan is a scandel.

Best hope is Fev doing Batley.

The Vicar

Yeah we'd be a country mile ahead of the rest of the league, probably score a hundred every week



Sorry but if i dont laugh, I'll cry

they've had a few week off fev so time to get recuperated & there game plan together hopefully!

And how will you fit all these players under the salary cap in C1 ?

Don't forget the cap in C1 for next season is only £150k !

i know how you feel mate me too. wheather we go down or not Leigh to win the northern rail cup next year im gonna put a bet on this one.

Don`t forget that this poster/newbie has posted 58 posts in 5 days................ he`ll be gone in a weeks time, probably from gateshull....

ive heard theres a loop hole in this something to do with if a player signs for free ( deemed as a gift) then theres a legal way round the salery cap!

Interestingly, if we beat Whitehaven, we will be on 32 points, and could go down. The last two seasons, the team who got 32 points, finished 5th. I'm not sure I approve of this so-called 'evening up' of the competition!

Just seen that Alan.

Relegated on 32 points with 9 wins from 20 games. Sickening isnt it.

I just hope Toulouse dont finish on 30, that really would be a kick in the nuts.

Every chance, they're at Halifax!
