Well I guess right now our fans are feeling reasonably OK - a few wins strung together and Derby double. A spanking by Warrington or Wigan could result in a "same old same old" refrain as passes are up for renewal.

cant see us getting spanked by anyone.
I dont think any team will relish playing us at the moment

we're going well, at least we are involved, glad I was wrong, honestly didn't think we would be.

Yep, sport is all about testing yourself against the best, otherwise what's the point

we ve not managed to beat a non yorkshire side so far this season,but in a cup tie anything can happen

This is my worry also. Still don't feel we are up with the top4 and mood will dip if we have one of our infamous no-shows. Still not happy with this artificial format, may as well have just picked a winner out a bag. But it is what it is.

On pass sales the big thing needed is some kind of money back guarantee if games don't go ahead. A lot of people simply don't have the cash anyway, and others will be nervous in laying out £250+ with no guarantee when they can watch. Maybe different options when people renew such as asking fans do you want a refund for behind closed doors games or that cash becomes a credit for money off a 2022 pass etc. I simply dont see all 8k renewing otherwise.

Like i said several days ago Sky had a lot of influence in this decision

I think more GaR(FL)y Hetherington.

If you think Hetherington has that much clout now, think again. He doesn’t go down to well with Super League Chairmen. His day has been and gone. His ties with Ralph Rimmer and RFL are defunct. Elstone with the support of Super League have seen them off.

Now we are in it, I’m quite looking forward to the Play Offs.

No one thinks we should be in it and I don’t think that anyone gives us a chance.

However, we’ve won Challenge Cup’s in recent times with it’a harder set of fixtures....

Almost worth it to see Rovers fans crying, there are a couple on the secret forum not happy about this.

I just hope we can give it a go, the lads must feel confident with the recent wins, big test as this one.

bit over the top ,youve had better teams than the current one and blown it but in the current situation its not beyond the realms , youll need a fair bit of luck though

Harder? I don't see how?

We are in it, so make a good go of it, which I am sure we will do our very best. A shame we don't have a fully fit Kelly for it. Will we see Mr Ellis play again, retirement game, GF win at the KC!

I see it as a free hit, nothing to lose and no expectation. We have the game to do well if we get a bit of luck.

Still think it is wrong that Catalans are in there, only 'played' 13 games!

Would still be Top 6 if they'd lost another 4 games though.

I think he’s alluding to the fact that the percentage criteria was supposed to be based on teams finishing the season with 15 games minimum as per the original statement.

Cutting the season short prevented Catalans from having any chance of playing those last 2 games, one of which was cancelled by SL.

It was cancelled to suit Saints, the whole season is a shambles, we now know the RFL really do favour Wigan, Saints, Warrington and Leeds. I hope FC can win the GF, just to stick one up the blazer brigade!

FC win GF at KCom, Ellis runs out as captain for his final game, dreams are made of such things!

"De plane! De plane!"

classic programme!

Not in the same league as [iMonkey[/i that debuted in the same year, 1978.

My favourite episode was when monkey tried to fly to the pillars at the end of the universe.

On the basis that three of those clubs were 6 points in front of you with 3 games to play and therefore the format change favoured you, Catalans (minimum game criteria) and Leeds I must be missing something
