Absolutely right, We had the same chance as everybody else to stay in the top flight and the same chance to win 4 home games in the middle 8 . The time for talking is done ,It's time to put up or shut up, The club and the team have got us where we are . PA should have been gone 12 months ago, so now we live with the consequences of keeping him on. We shall see now who wants to play for the club and earn their corn in SL.

The new coach has enough quality in the squad to win the group, It's up to him to get the best out of the players. No time for whinging about bad luck, injuries , poor ref's whatever, we have heard it all a million times, They either give it 100% and play to win or they get relegated, and some of them will be forever championship players.

So confirmed Leeds London and Featherstone at home.

Salford/Leigh/KR and Batley away.
I'd say 3 of these away games are a must win.

glad we dont have to travel to london

should look to win those home games, the leeds one should be a cracker

all tough away trips though and our away form is the worst of anyone i think

I'd rather play KR and Salford away than Leeds- wish we were going to London- I love my London weekends away- have missed them!!!!!

Batley away, we might get a good following there, 250 or so

When do we find out what days/nights the games are on?

Of course finishing bottom gives us the toughest draw for a SL side and fair enough, but it is worrying, very worrying.

This teams quite good enough to avoid the drop if they just play smart and stop the 'magic bullet' stuff.

Fixture dates announced Wednesday.

aim to win all our home games

best chance of winning away against fellow sl teams is the hull kr game i feel , shoul have won there recently , had the game in the bag (again) .. really need to get that winning mentality and how to close games out...

problem is we are coming up against teams that know how to do that, ok at a lower level but the pressure will be high and we may crumble like in the past in big games.

its going to be an interesting finish to the season for sure!!!

Leeds put down a big marker today then in this comp by hammering Featherstone on their own pitch.

Leyth hold on to beat the Broncos.

yep results gone as expected so far..

salford and hull kr today the expected results!

Leigh were 34-8 up too! Sowatd and worthington sent off for fighting and London scored three after that. Get em rattled and it looks like Leigh crumble!

Leigh are nowhere near as good as they think they are. They rely on being able to bully their part time opponents into submission. When they get it back they really don't like it and are ripe for the taking. Get Mickey Higham riled up, the bloke is an absolute looney and behaves like a petulant toddler.

Leythers won't have to bother winding us up,we'll just lie down anyway.Disgusting.

as expected....

onto next week now

giants beat fev

There was no giving or 'getting it back' yesterday. The incident between Soward and Worthington was an isolated one. There hadn't been anything like that all day - although Soward never stopped yapping at Ben Thaler from the off. He appeared to attack Worthington from behind and Worthington took exception to it. (perhaps his Featherstone upbringing?

) Apart from one game this season - at Swinton - our performances have been disciplined. (from the viewpoint of no brawling) Our current coach is much stronger on discipline than his predecessor. He is also very realistic and accepts that we would have to improve considerably to even get near a SL team.

As for 'bullying part time opponents into submission', well our game this season is based on trying to get forward domination. Isn't that every team's aim though? I very much suspect that, next Saturday, we will be coming up against a team who will very probably do that to us.

With all due respect to the championship our next 3 fixtures have got to be W's.

In contrast HKR next 3 ,away to Leeds,then away at Salford. Followed by Leyth at home.

Happy we get to play Leeds at ours on the penultimate weekend,by which time they could have nothing to play for.

Being wooden spoonists not so disadvantageous after all ?

our games worked out quite favourable

toughest one first against salford

win next 3 to build some kind on confidence and learning how to win again!

then the crunch ones at leigh and hull kr

Leeds vs HKR tonight Friday.
Leigh vs Salford - Saturday.

Leeds prob faves,but If HKR get the win that would shake things up,not least for ourselves.

Leigh's big test of their credentials.

yeh couple of interesting games

leeds and salford expected to get the wins

8 - 0 Leeds HT.

Leeds 2 from 2 then.

yeh as expected !

Didn't expect that! Go on Leigh! Think points dif will be massive this year in separating a few clubs

leigh first club to go against the grain

if we played them next week i think we would lose, we have a chance to build some confidence in the next 3 games

but the hull kr and leigh games will be huge, unfortunately they are away from home and we are the worst club for winning away

Well I hope the team watched Leigh beat Salford!!!!
