I think it will be a tough match, Rochdale certainly won't roll over and play dead. It's not many weeks ago that they went to the LSV and only lost by 12points against a very strong Leigh team!

Did you forget Whitehaven on 26 points?

Think HC meant 5 clear of relagation places

That's what I was going to say too. Plays off would be nice, but I would settle for 9th!

Despite how the table read there are no weak teams in our division this season.
Barrow, Rochdale, Swinton etc can take any team on their day, P&R has certainly brought some fight back to RL, still not settled with the idea of DR as it raises the question of fairness in our sport, ultimately it could see perfectly capable teams who do not use this system get relegated.

This is a must win game and if we win well then I predict a win away at Fax on Thursday to boot, not counting my chickens just yet but there is an air of belief in the cougars team that is clear to see

Oops

Whereas most of us would settle for mid table this season, me included, I really don't see the four teams immediately above us as being better teams then us and most certainly Halifax and Fev are not the teams of previous seasons. The only team in the championship that we probably wouldn't expect to beat (on paper) is Leigh and look what almost happened there!

I had to edit the above because it sounded a little defeatist!

What do I know? Clearly not a lot .... well done Cougars! Fax next

Droll first half but the second half was SUPERB !
Everyone played well but Handfirth was on fire ,
Roll on Thursday night !

Great game today. All played well. Thought Handforth had best game yet for Cougars. Noticed a G Duffy played on wing for Hunslet today. Is it our Gavin? If so hope it only on loan.Bring on Halifax. Come on Cougars.

Well, I was expecting a win, but that was still highly impressive. Congrats lads, great show
