Batley scored a late try at Halifax to collect a failure point in a 30-22 defeat, something we must equal against Leigh if we are to make the playoffs as Batley have a home banker next Sunday against Whitehaven, and a superior points difference.

At least it's in their hands and they know what they have to do.



Easier said than done though (esp on SKY !)

as has been said we need a bonus point against leigh on thursday to finish sixth , but with our form on sky i'm not very confident so i hope the lads prove me wrong ,i'll be there cheering them on, but what ever happens i'll be back next season and planning my holidays round our fixtures as i did this season .

Just a quick one. . . our home banker next week is away. I would have thought you would have to be favourite against Leigh so no problems at all for you.

Favourites against Leigh? On the basis of the last two performances?

I think we'd rather play Sheffield than Batley in the play offs (don't intend that to be disrespectful although I'd understand if it came across that way!) so look out for a convenient 11 point win by ourselves that will hopefully mean we finish third and the Eagles sixth

Woops

just knew you were playing Fax away this week and Havent next so I assumed it would be at home, a severe case of puttin two and two together and getting five. Favourites against Leigh? We wouldn't be favourites against Haven or Keighley the way we've played the last two games.

You've got yourself a deal

You could make the playoffs by losing and thus being awarded points. Only in Rugby League, eh?

Agreed, it's ridiculous. In the end we did it by winning anyway.

And we confirmed third spot with a bonus point - job done, see you in a fortnight!

Where a bonus point won't be good enough!! Looking forward to it mate.

Would like to think I'd still back us in a home game, but not entirely confident of that I must admit.

I'd have backed you against Batley in the Trains but ......

I'd think you'll still be favourites but last night has given me hope, plus we finished 3rd last year and Fev came to us and turned us over in the playoffs.

It will beadifferant game at the LSV you couldnt beat us with a man down, hopefully the pitch will be dry Leythers by at least 10 no problem.

We were abysmal that day, and we've lost to the likes of Keighley this season so you can't really go on that, it's all on the day, I think if we play to our potential we will win, but the chances of that happening aren't huge.

Its been the old Jekyll & Hyde story this season, its either been brilliant or terrible, not many games inbetween that.
