Wednesday at noon is when the fixtures come out for the middle 8s.
It is great that we get the four home games. It is the away games that concern me. I hear that there may be some issues getting teams to Toronto, availability of seats on flights are an problem. Fans traveling will be faced with very high fares, due to the short notice.
Another issue may well be the Widnes game. Euston Station is closed for three weekends, August to September. I would put money on the fixture being arranged for when Euston is closed.
Anyway bring it on!!!

Don't worry, when Toronto announce that for the good of the game they are playing all of their games in Manchester it won't be an issue.

They would hate to have to travel back and forth themselves and paying for it might be a problem for them

See Bossys note on Euston

It would make sense for TWP to charter an aircraft and sell seats not taken by away team squad members to travelling fans. That’s if air transat have anything that’s not already committed.
Playing there home games at a Manchester venue would make sense to be honest

One of the Euston closure weekends is August Bank holiday. That would make traveling fun if St Helens and Warrington make the Challenge Cup Final.

Toronto fixtures have been published. We are away on 1 September. Their fixtures are AHHAHHA. At least we have the week off before this date

Think these work out pretty much as we might have hoped for? A win at Widnes would be a great start, though they have strengthened- but we are on a bit of a roll, and have everyone fit a nd raring to go.

Leeds - a loss
Toronto, probable loss, but they are beatable
Toulouse - must win
HKR - loss
Salford - must win
Halifax- must win

So worse case 6 points best case 10? Interesting times.

All it to beat Widnes,
Take whatever leeds throw at us then have a week to recover before Canada. Two ways the club could approach Toronto. Go out early get a bit of time to get over the effects of the travel. Or keep it as short as possible to minimise any effects of jet lag. For me jet lag effect is minimal, the 8 hrs in the aluminium tube more knackering, so go out early have a few days to recover and get back as soon as possible.
Toulouse at ours will be interesting.
KR last time we played em we gave em a fright with a late comeback.
Salford, I think depends on how they have gone before they get to us, could be beatable at ours.
Agree though fax and TO are must wins, Widnes up first in my mind is a must win if we are to stand any chance.

Hope to see you all at the Leeds game.......

It would be nice if someone, perhaps the LBSA could run a coach to one of the away games. I would think Hull KR game would be my choice. It would be nice to see some different faces at an away game.

lets stop kidding ourselves... We will not win away at widnes nor Hull KR

But Salford home, Tolouse home and halifax home are possible, which is 6 possible points......

So the question is Toronto away, Leeds home, we need one of these.... Remember we play leeds just before a cup final which Leeds could be in.

I really think the MPG actually depends on Leeds beating Warrington on Sat...... funny times

Kidding ourselves? Think we have more chance away at Widnes, than beating Leeds at home?

IF leeds are playing at wembley 5 days after playing us, I think we have a real chance...

Last year we came oooooh so close to beating warrington at Ealing, far closer than widnes. If Sammut had kicked that penality into touch just before 1/2 time v Wire, we would have won that game. Also 2 years ago we ran leeds close at our place as well.

I think Leeds at home are far more for the taking than Widnes away

Widnes are going to be relegated and te only thing that they have going for them is that they have a home tie v a championship side first up......us and Fax are the only sides they look capable of beating and I think they'll struggle in France......they've not won a competitive game since March 22nd....losing 16 straight. We are in a winning vein of for and if we score first their fans will get on their backs. Leeds won't be at Wembley but if they are.....then they are there for the taking as well and if we are 2 from 2 flying to Canada, the anything is possible.
Bump....back to reality.....I see us with 6 points and one place out from the MPG.......but let's hope contract talks are happening now with either our key players or with others for next year as if they do revert to 1 up/1 down, then 2019 could be the season we bounce back.

It's all about momentum. Widnes are in such a bad run (all season, really) that if we get off to a good start in that game they could easily crumble. Win that match and it reinforces the belief we've already built within the squad. Then it's game on.

Exactly!

As long as Wardy and the boys remember the last time we went up to Widnes, they bullied us off the park. They'll try and do it again this year so the team needs to be ready adn stand up to it. It won't be pretty but if they stand up we could get a result up there.
We won at Salford a couple of seasons back, we went close against Catalans last year, and gave Wire a fright when they thought it was safe to put the cue back on the rack.
COYB!

The days of a passionate but antagonistic "Union troll" being prepared to organise such trips are long gone. I wonder if the Quins RL away day crew (70 strong) database that Gutterfax (RIP) has contains any more than 20 remaining fans?
