Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us.

Wow hold on there speedy, whilst you did beat us in the cup, that doesn't mean you will automatically beat us in middle 8s. A factually correct statement would be, "you know you have narrowly beaten Salford".
Whilst your ability to move the ball wide will cause any team problems, for 80% of that cup match our forwards were completely dominant. The fact we lacked a competent half back to get us round the park had a massive effect on the result. That said, we were poor with our attacking play, but if the Wigan performance can be reproduced, then we should take the points off you. Especially if we learn to combat your running the ball on the sixth tackle.
For what it's worth, I believe you will make it into super league, but you'll be playing Wakey in the million pound game. You're good side that should hold it's own in SL, but confidence is a funny thing, and what happens to that amazing team spirit when you've lost a few?
Also, I'd love to see you give Widnes a spanking. Good luck for the rest of the season.

True, no one automatically has the right to beat anyone, all depends on the day. There's no doubting the quality of Salford's team but the days when that all comes together are few and far between. Yes Salford's forwards dominated but our forwards have improved since then, Hock's gone from being unfit & underperforming to playing the best rugby I've ever seen him play.
I don't think confidence would drop too much if we loose, after the London loss (& a wet, windy, scrappy game at Mount Pleasant) we trounced Sheff 58-18, after the Warrington loss we went up to Workington for what Paul Rowley called our best & most complete performance of the season. We've hit a very good run of form at just the right time, if we keep it up I still think we can beat Salford again (will no doubt be a very close & entertaining game though) & claim a top 3 spot.
Thanks, it'll be good to get to SL and have some away trips to Lancashire clubs like Salford. And we have missed spanking Widnes.

Quote ="glow"Total agree with this, we are by far the most confident and consistent side entering the 8’s, and although you could argue that the SL teams play big games week in week out, our cup run shows we can handle the big occasions.
And although everyone will be out to put us in our place, no one with relish playing us, they won’t have use down for a guaranteed two points and know they’re going to have to be at their best or we will turn them over, and tickle their bellies.

You arnt even the form team in this league. icon_lol.gif" alt="icon_lol.gif" title="Laughing" /> icon_lol.gif" alt="icon_lol.gif" title="Laughing" />
I would like to see Leigh have a shot in SL but think its going to be tough and I expect them to make the million pound game. just need to win that game from there. I do not think Bradford will be anything to worry about as they are totally out of form which is no surprise the hammering they get in training. It would be very interesting to see how Leigh went in SL plus its a shake up and it also says the system is working. |

It was slightly tongue in cheek making reference to your traditional form tables of which Fax would currently be top. I thought the smileys after my post may have given that away.

Agreed! With every team starting on 0 and there being so few fixtures, every game in the Middle 8s will be like a cup final. It's going to be very close. Honestly don't care who wins the Grand Final. | | | |
