I think you are about right with most of those predictions york are going through a tough run of games which will decide if they are in the fight for third or 5th to 6th spot. I think it will go down to the wire between us and batley for third.

Yup very close call on which wY it will go between fax and batley. Part of me just says , look be realistic 3rd means a good season with a good squad. Anything else is pie in the sky. There is no point in contemplating super league on our financial structure. Look at wakefield perennial strugglers even with a good board and long term chairman . Do we really want to aspire to that ?

We don't but if we take that stance there's no point in playing. One of the reasons for our poor crowds is the perception that we are just playing friendlies. What the answer is, I don't know.

I’d like us to go for Super league and get it. Yes there is all the ramifications of cost getting stuffed every week but we would be no different to Toulouse or Wakefield. And I’m doing so would mean putting it up Leigh and Fev and that in its self is worth playing for.
