Unfortunately the likely victories for Halifax,Sheffield and London make that the outcome...come on Keighley.

If it’s a 3 v 6 and 4 v 5 format we need to beat Swinton and Bradford need to win at Sheffield then we’ll be away at the Bulls.

Obviously first priority is getting 2 against Swinton.

Who wants to go to Odslum twice in one year? I would much rather go to Sheffield again.

Personally think we have a better chance against Bradford than Sheffield or London and Sheffield is the most unlikely game that we could have maybe taking a Bradford win and a Keighley win? Lets worry about that tonight though and get Swinton out of the way first.

Should be a decent crowd today ..... last home game of the season in a must win match, and Swinton should bring a couple of hundred.

Of course it's Fax first and foremost, but it would be a shame if we sent Swinton down ..... a good old fashioned RL club who seem to perennially struggle to cling on to survival, and they have decent fans. They have to win or lose by less than 4 to guarantee safety, but could also be saved if Keighley lose by more in London which I think is likely.

It’s as if you’ve watched all your games this season and your pessimism takes over and you can just see it all unfolding in front of you….
2nd half to come

Sorted! Well done, not the way I would have avoided coming back to Odsal but your players must really dislike it

Re: Swinton lions : Sun Sep 24, 2023 4:46 pm  

Not much between the sides today in most areas and overall each set of players got what they deserved.

Main difference was switching off in defence and the number of poor try's conceded off the back of it, most were down the left side again.

For Fax, well as one era ends it's time for a new one to start with new coaching set up coming in with hopefully some new faces to join them who can stiffen things up.

All the plaudits go to Swinton today, great effort, you deserved the result more than we did.
