Still something to play for in last 4 regular rounds - bottom 2 of SL only get 3 home games in M8's,the 2 SL clubs above them get 4.

Ley-definite,Landan-2nd fave for M8's,then 2 out of Bfd,Fax,Batley,Feath + Giants,Leeds,HKR (most likely) & 1 other.

Should be a decent comp.COYG.

yep

leigh
london
bradford

then maybe halifax,batley

some good local derbies, dont fancy a trip to london mind.

hope we can get some bodies back and confidence back, new coach and build for next year, been tough this year

HKR lose the derby tonight then they make up the 4th SL M8 club with Giants,Salford,Leeds - plus Leyth & London qualified from championship.

Sunday - Fax v Feath,an awful lot riding on this one,also Batley v London,the Broncs have nowt to play for now which should help the Gallant Youths,who have to win.

Wouldn't mind going back to Feath,first time since Buddies Cup triumph,plus stadium is in good nick now apparently,not to mention coming up against Sharpy.

be some one sided games if we get our best 17 on the field against the championship sides

Lets just hope the players don't go into the middle 8's over confident. We've struggled in the past against teams like Batley in the challenge cup and that was in the years when we were riding high in the league.

That's a massive danger to be honest, There has been very little to suggest we are going to have a easy time. That said the middle 8's are a big opportunity to get their act together, I don't even want to think about the consequences of failure , it's to dire to contemplate.

I just hope we don't have any involvement in the million pound game. Our performance in one off games that matter is simply diabolical. Plus I'd be worries Leigh would just bully us

We'd have to catch Ryan, before we could bully him!

We have a good, tough set of forwards this season, but are short on pace. The bottom 4 of SL are completely familiar with the pace of a SL contest. We Championship teams have to try to up the ante considerably, to match that SL intensity.

You should be safe but, that said, the odd 'one off' game........................

We won't be in the million pound game.

WHAT DO YOU BASE THAT RIDICULOUSNSTAEMENT ON ?

On current form we are definitely going for the mpg.

The teams we will play mean we will be away from home for 4 games which is a negative for us.

We have to beat all 4 championship teams and one of
Leeds who have found some real form
Hkr who beat us last week
Salford where we Gita lucky win but seem to have more spirit than we do and have won some games.

On current form WE WILL BE IN THE MPG.

Controversial! Signature material right there!

That's the spirit!!!
I will stop being so ridiculous in future


It's almost like you want it to happen.....

That's the spirit !!!

Let's play at Ostriches.



Everything will be fine we can take it easy let's be complacent.

Seems like you are wanting to plan for us to cock up.

Oh how he does!
I am at a loss to know what his reasoning is, perhaps he thinks the only person who can run, not only the team, but the whole business is non other than Durham Giant.
Think about the commute fellah.

Or equally we can be optimistic instead of pessimistic - give our new coach a chance and get behind the team so they oerform like they did against Warrington, saints, and Hull instead of expecting them to perform as they did against Wakey.

If only I could have blind faith.


I gave that up when I left All Saints


We will see how we go tomorrow

hopefully not calling for rick stones head after tomorrow if we lose

looks like it will be

hull kr
salford
leeds
giants
leigh
london
batley
bradford

what if a sl team finishes in 6th, then they dont even get to play the mpg do they, straight down? daft question?!

if we finish bottom of sl then we would go away to leigh and london i think? not been to the new leigh ground yet, brierley would enjoy that game ha

Bradford aren't nailed on! They have a tough game against Featherstone away with both teams able to make the last place. Personally would rather go to Featherstone than odsal! It's a marginally better ground!

we need to improve our fitness and play a more composed game and we will be fine. play like we played yesterday and we could be in trouble

The problem is how we played yesterday is how we've played most of the season- which is why we are bottom!

Whoever finishes sixth is out of SL, be they Championship or SL. Taking the extreme case, if the four Championship teams end up 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, then only the SL team finishing 5th would have a chance of going back into SL, via the MPG. The other three teams would be relegated if only!!

They should relegate Leeds just for being tom tit.

How good would that be

Exactly - I hope everyone takes on board what Mr Stone tells them.

And quickly.

Otherwise it's squeaky bum time.

What is the formula for the fixtures.....as it stands now who would we play at home?
