There is more to RL than just staying in Super League, ANY SL team can make the semi finals, given the right draw, like Leeds did a few years ago, didn't play a top flight side until the S/F.

What about the loss / gain balance
Loss Injuries No rest as we prepare for more important games
Gain Small crowds being smaller than normal 800 at Fax last night. Without ST owners turning up we could get crowds of 400 with a bad home draw. Gate receipts shared so even less money.
Lets move on and get focused on the French next Thurs.
Fax are no mugs, in fact I think they were the best Championship side I saw at Ealing last year, but whatever way you look at it that is a very disappointing result last night.

You did not look very far Wire Quin quote on the 1st page of this thread.
Let's throw it and focus on the league. More games in the cup we won't win puts us at risk of injuries
Let Halifax fans have their day in the sun. For us staying in Super League has to be our aim. For Halifax playing in Super League is a far off memory and in the future, an impossible dream. What worried me about yesterdays game was that we rested a few, but still risked, Battye, Pitts, Gee and Cunningham. As CMG said, we should have played the kids and fringe players only. Catalan next Thursday gives us a chance of two points. Points are what we need, not a cup run.

How very condescending of you. See you at The Shay next season for our usual two Championship points off you.
