5/5 will likely get us 3rd position as I can't see Bradford winning more than 3/5 4/5 We are looking at 4th 3/5 Probably 6/7th but relying massively on other teams for us to creep in.
We are certainly capable of winning all the remaining games but I think 3/5 is probably where I would be putting my money with a loss to Toulouse and then a "shock" against any of the other teams.
We will beat Toulouse.

Well ....... with this Sunday being a bank holiday weekend, such a crucial game against a good Widnes who usually bring a couple of hundred fans, following on from a great win against Fev and bringing home the 1895 cup, if the crowd isn't "well over" 2k then we may as well pack up and give up.
I remember well how they gave us a good beating on a monday night back in February. I rushed like hell to get to that match in time for kick off and to be fair to Widnes they played very well that night but we was way off the pace. I hope we can return the favour on sunday to get a much needed 2 points.

Agreed, although the loss at London last week won't have helped.Also as yet no promotion of the game by the club. People are fickle and, like pubs, the days of opening the doors and folk flocking in are well gone. There's a big prize around the corner and we need to go all out to achieve the best we can achieve. The club have made their mark in our 150th anniversary year with the historic win at Wembley. Let's hope that is just the start. Up The Fax!

Hopefully the anticipated return of Joe Keyes will come to fruition and should give the lads a lift he’ll be chomping at the bit and he can be back close to his best.

It actually would not surprise me as they have a lot of players out at the moment so may be a similar strength team to what we faced over there. The thing is you could see us doing that but losing at Haven and keighley.

Blimey! I've just watched the highlights of last Sunday's game against London and all i can say is we need to have the tackle bags out at training this week!

We have been here a million times this season and Grix called it out in his interview but this team for whatever reason is putting different levels of effort in depending on how big the game is. Its one of the reasons why I dont think a change is a bad thing, players almost become bored of listening to the same thing from the coach day after day and week after week, its only natural.
Luckily we do have the easiest run in of the teams around us so the team does have chance to put some things right over the next few weeks and send Grix out on a high.
