If we cant beat Fax at home and pick a win up against local rivals TO/Fev then we don't deserve to be in the top 4

Agreed if we can’t get the wins while it would be out of our hands would we deserve to be there. At present unless we really click it doesn’t look that likely.

And hypothetically if we did scrape into fourth and assuming SL positions and top 3 in Chump (were as of 1/07 am) you’d have home games against Leeeds, Toronto, Salford and away games against Hudds, Toulouse, KR and Fev.

Finishing 3rd is more interesting Fev would play home to Hudds, KR and whoever is fourth and away to Leeds, Salford, Toronto and Toulouse.

Scraping into fourth in the Chump might be the better route!

12-12 at Ht v Batley.

Very disappointing showing so far.
The recalled Channing having a mare by all accounts and Cunningham off early.

Toulouse, Featherstone and Halifax all winning comfortably at half time.

We are winning 12-34, so 2 points in bag. Keep the faith!

So next week, Fev or fax will lose, my money is on Fev taking the points, still can’t see us winning in France, Leigh will win so that will leave the table as it is now.

That home game against fax is going to be interesting, need to win it well to give the boys confidence before Fev.

Half time drawing 12 all, playing uphill and into the sun and having two tries disallowed.
This was not too bad. We scored in two minutes after kick off, playing down hill.
People under estimate the effect the slope has at Batley.

So 6 points left get all 6 we finish 3rd! Fax at home win, they then have a win in last game and they then have to bear Toulouse
Feb def get 2 from 6 then could all depend on how Toronto approach the game, will they want to have 100% home record or could the rest players with a view on the 8s I suspect maybe the latter.
It's going to be tense to say the least

Agree, I think we must aim for all 6 points, though Fev away will be difficult, though surprised Fax beat them.

So assuming we make the 4. Getting promoted is a simple formulae, beat the other 3 championship teams and one of the SL bottom 4! We have shown we can compete with Toulouse, Toronto yep we have beaten em once, could we take them again I wonder? Widnes taught us a lesson last year, I wonder if we could compete with them this year.
IF we squeeze into the 4 I reckon 7th place in the 8s
