With three games to go (two of them at home), we're a least guaranteed a place in the MPG. Off the back of a fairly gentle start to the 8s, admittedly, but so far, so good.

Warrington can do us a huge favour by beating Leigh next week, meaning we'd then 'only' have to beat Widnes [uor[/u Catalans to go up automatically.

The challenge gets bigger now, and we're going to be playing desperate opponents but the team have earned us a real shot at promotion and, at the risk of being dramatic, sporting redemption.

Highlight of the season so far - holding down in the last minute at Leigh. More of that bloody-minded attitude could see us home.

Still a lot more improvement in Rovers for me. Been trying to work out possible results and the other main contenders still have to play each other over next 3 rounds as well as us. Couldn't ask for more than 4 wins and we have a decent chance of beating one of or both of Widnes/Catalans at our place.This is when Sheens needs to ramp it up this week in training and send them out on Saturday with intention of getting the job done

Lets hope and

we do it I do not care how by hook or by crook come on rovers lets go back up

The one thing that has me hoping is superleague teams play at a faster tempo then championship teams . We play better with a good roll on so hope Widnes don't slow the play down.

Missed today's game.
It will help if Wire and Leigh play after us on Saturday. I think they do and it will keep the pressure off us. Knowing a win will get us promotion may give us a nose bleed.
Sheens so far has managed this perfectly.
Does Abdul come in next game? How did Atkin go?
Widnes will pose a different problem as they are very quick.

Well done, from a Wakefield fan.

Said it all seaaon and will again, think you will come back up automatically.

Looking forward to the matchday rivalries again with Mrs EW.

Another big game from the Heff today. Hes been great all year I think

a decent performance today, although not without mistakes, a step up on our recent home form and centres Heffernan and minns were terrific and atkin beginning to show some nice touches,one more big effort against widnes, who on todays performance at Featherstone would have to play well to beat us ,COYR

Atkin is really growing into his role. This was his best game. Took control of the left edge, kicked well and was aggressive in defence.

Read a few posts from people at the Halifax Cats game and apparently Catalans were poop houses and could have seriously hurt Fax players? Not seen any highlights yet but wouldn't surprise me .They will be desperate when they come to us.Need to get Widnes beat imo

In this competition wins are the only currency of value, nice though the rest is. Ask London.

Let's hope Abdul is ready for neet week if Ellis cops a ban.

Shows the importance of coming top & getting the home fixtures, as travelling to Widnes (& having the disadvantage of the ipitch) and to the South of France wouldn't have been ideal fixtures.

Plus you've got Warrington last, who [ishould[/i be home & dry by then. Saying that, I can't see you going into the Warrington game needing a win, it'll be sealed by then IMO.

Here's my final table:

Warr - 14pts
Wid - 10pts
Rov - 10pts
Leigh - 8pts
Cata - 8pts

Leigh to go down (

)

I take it you like Leigh then

Is it that obvious?

Ellis seems to have no case to answer with rfl? Gregory Bird looking like missing rest of campaign?

So he should the dirty bar steward!

Walsh picked up an injury and Bird could/should be out for our game.Weakens them

Less of the "old", thanks.

Odd that you brough Hull FC & Ellis into a thread on the Qualifiers/MPG.

Are you that easy to wind up that all I need to do is stick to the thread topic & it causes you to fly off on one about FC? You're like one of Pavlov's dogs, conditioned to go on an anti-FC tirade whenever you encounter an FC fan.

I was talking about our half back who I believe was put on report in Fev . I was also informing the Leigh poster who called you a phallus that you are of black n white persuasion. Didn't think Radfords article was worth a new topic but maybe it is? Not sure what Brough has to do with anything? 0 out of 4, very unlike you

Did I misread something in the Radford article, he said he wanted you promoted didn't he?

I don't have a lot of respect for his opinion of Rovers or the fans of Rovers.'little brother' 'Annoying'.Little strange he is wasting media time in a week were a highly possible loss to Wigan could spanner his Old Trafford hopes? On another note just checked out rfl disciplinary and it seems Heffernan has been pulled rather than Ellis which surprised me but I only saw it in real time?

Radford like all coaches will have media obligations to fulfil during the week. I imagine the comments about Rovers came after some hack at the HDM asked him his opinion on them, probably that Rovers sycophant Westmorland.

For someone who doesn't have a lot of respect for his opinion, he seems to have got to you pretty easily.

Can't believe anyone would be upset with LR's comments, he been asked a question and answered it in the manner I would expect of him.

The best way to think of it is that if we are the little brother, then FC must be Big Brother and everyone knows that that's a load of drivel watched by brain dead idiots
