Post subject:  Super 8s
I've been trying to find an explanation for the League 1 Super 8s and eventually found one on the Doncaster RL web site; Thanks to Doncaster RL and i hope you don't mind me copying it here?

The League 1 Super 8s will commence on the weekend of July 22nd-July 24th.

The final league position of each team on July 10th will determine who play's who and where in the Super 8’s. The top four teams will be guaranteed four home games. Below is the structure on how this is decided:

1st- Home 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th / Away 4th, 7th, 8th

2nd- Home 3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th / Away 1st, 5th, 8th

3rd- Home 4th, 5th, 7th, 8th / Away 1st, 2nd, 6th

4th- Home 1st, 5th, 6th, 8th / Away 2nd, 3rd, 7th

5th- Home 2nd, 6th, 7th / Away 1st, 3rd, 4th, 8th

6th- Home 3rd, 7th, 8th / Away 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th

7th- Home 1st, 4th, 8th / Away 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th

8th- Home 1st, 2nd, 5th / Away 3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th

I mentioned last week that I thought our final league position would probably be 6th place barring an upset at London Skolars today (pray for an upset :DOH: ) in which case we can look forward to away games at Toulouse and Rochdale but remember that in 2003 against the odds we gained promotion through the play offs so everything to play for :MOTOR:

Edit: Praying didn't help, London lost so the Cougars have to go to Toulouse again!

Seems to me we are pretty fooked this season. (Sorry for the language Jim)

We have been driven in to the ground over the 'March' period.

I can take that we will not be promoted as long as we have a new coach and the chance of a future for Keighley Cougars.

Cougarmania hasn't existed in the true sense of the word since the 90's, lets hope that it lives again soon and before the club dies under the current regime.

I'm sorry to appear so negative everyone but I am losing the will to live here.

I want nothing more than to say I lived to see the day that the Keighley Cougars entered superleague, (this hopefully shows my passion for Keighley Cougars) even if only for one season with demotion nailed on, but I fear I won't be here to see it happen.

One day maybe.......

So now to the Super 8s, I think it's fair say that most if not everybody would expect Toulouse to breeze through to the play-offs and most probably promotion, one would also expect Rochdale to make it through but the other three places are up for grabs and I see no reason , apart from how we've play this season :CRAZY:, why we can't get there but from the statistics of for/against, I do see a dark horse in Barrow, for/against = + 276 should put them third in league just 19 points behind Rochdale's 295.

Although looking at statistic, the cougars have score 520 points, which for attacking football should have us in 4th place, shame about the Toulouse match, I bet it doesn't happen a second time!

The Super 8s could be very interesting.

With respect KGRLC, the best team to have played at Toulouse this season has been Donny. York looked good in parts and Keighley were the worst by a mile. I can't imafine Toulouse being beaten at home but matbe Donny could 'do' them at their place. Rochdale is the team Toulouse want to beat, if only to prove a point to Mr Kilshaw.

San is back saying the Cougars are the worst in history.

What score you going for in the re-match? 407-0?

Well, Paul March said it was his worst moment either as a player or coach in the game which shows how poor the performance was ! The weather conditions will dictate the score. The last game was played in relatively cool conditions but the next game conditions will be much warmer probably which won't suit the older players in the Cougars 17.
