Other then fev or Toulouse we are playing the form side this weekend it should be another tough game for us. They have everything to play in the race for sixth and so do we one more win should see us get third spot. A long journey up lets hope we are celebrating on the way back i will go for 18-25 to fax.

This is tough one to call. A few weeks ago I would have been fairly confident but as TS says Whitehaven are on a roll now. Our drop in form and not replacing players who have left, no coincidence there, doesn't fill me with hope but i have a feeling we might just do it which should clinch us 3rd spot. I'll go for Whitehaven 20v24 Fax. Elland Craft & Tap, South Sea Pale 4.1% Mmm! Up The Fax! .

With no news following on from the Fev game on knocks / injuries and who will be available it’s hard to say but going on the lads coming through without anything serious added I’ll be positive and say our long range attack will be just enough to get us the points.

A one score fax win hopefully . All to play for and its a far shorter journey of you win . Best wishes to Mr arbour on his last organised trip and stop at t bay services . I wonder how many trips he has made over the years.

I can't see past a Haven win unfortunatley. We were not that good against them at home and it were a slog, added to that they are very good at home and its also Jesse Joe Parker's last game and they will be well up for it just for that reason alone. For us we look like we might struggle to get 17 fit players on the pitch. Getting Morris back from covid protocols should give us a boost especially as it has given him chance to rest up as he looked fatigued before this.

I see our best chance of getting in the top 4 now as beating batley at home in which case we would play them 2 games on the bounce.

And whitehavens coach is moving upstairs at the end of this season and he as done a cracking job for them. So this will be is and jesse joes last home game they will be well fired up it will come down too who wants it most on the day.

Hard to get excited when the club gave up on this season several weeks ago and Fev last week killed it for me.
We all know we may get a win first playoff then get a tonking.Sad that as a club we can no longer compete at the second level of RL.Hopefully this will change for next year and the initial steps are encouraging.

That's my thoughts exactly, I could have written that word for word.

I suppose the fact of the likes of london going part time it suddenly causes you to reflect on just where the sport is heading . They have tried their best with london over many years , had a successful financier but still the club as a business concept just hasn't cracked it . I just dont feel anyone in the sport has a direction for professional clubs to aspire to .
