No, we go fourth. Or third in the unlikely event that we win by 70 or more. There's no such thing as joint third.

So we go level on points with third. What's the big deal, really?

If two teams have scored and let in the same amount of points , won and drawn the same then they would be joint , so there is such a thing as joint 3rd but I get your point

No big deal. I'm just pointing out (correctly) that there is no such thing as joint third.

Yes there is .

Correct.

Or incorrectly, as has been pointed out.

Check the RFL's Operational Rules if you can be bothered.

In Baldys defence it was reported on BBC website that Mossop had kicked 3 goals

Why?

what if 2 teams had equal results ie pts , pts for , pts against and had both beat each other , would they be joint 3(or were ever in the league ) ?

Perhaps the deciding factor would be who had the most "Points For"?

Wow who would have thought we would be debating that we could be joint 3rd with a game in hand.....love it!!!

No, when two teams are joined on every aspect of the game, it's a coin toss.

Yep, if it wasn't for those dodgy French groundsmen there'd be no debate, we'd be 2 points clear!

Knowing our luck it would be Ganson who tossed the coin....so 4th it is then

God when you put it like that, we were flying high then and they had loads of injuries, dodgy feckers

Well, that's a perfect way to round off the weekend's fixtures. Rovers looking very very good, defence vastly improved, strong go forward, dangerous in attack even without Green. On current form they'll be well ahead of us by the end of the season (again).

Looking like we'll scrape 8th. It's like Groundhog Day.

Indeed. This was supposed to be a tough run of games for them but fair play, wins over Hull, Warrington and Huddersfield - very impressive. Meanwhile our run of games which should've brought league points has been a disaster.

Big turnaround since Good Friday.

We gave rovers a massive confidence boost when we bent over to get bummed in manchester and tehy've not looked back since. We, on the other hand, have gone into freefall. 4th place is up for grabs with the form of leeds and hudds.. Could have been ours

Yep looking like a real battle for us to keep ourselves in the top 8 now. Very disappointing. However I still have faith in the club to get it right in the long run (ie beyond this season)

I blame my stupid half term report.

Game on I say

“The players will know they are joining a big club with big ambitions and one that won’t settle for eighth or just semi finals. This club should be challenging the very best and with inspired management in all areas, allied with an ability to actually spend some money on the necessities required to run a successful club, it will challenge the very best. It may not happen overnight but we will not stop working and investing until we do succeed."

Let's hope so, AP.

Week off to recharge the batteries

If Manu is carrying a knock then withdraw him
