Will we make the top 4? Final fixtures for us and those around us in the table.

Discuss.

Bulls: Leigh (A), Whitehaven (H), Oldham (H), Featherstone (A)
Halifax: Swinton (A), Leigh (A), Featherstone (H), London (H)
Batley: Whitehaven (A), Featherstone (H), London (H), Swinton (A)
Featherstone: Workington (H), Batley (A), Halifax (A), Bulls (H).

Table currently:

Leigh 35
London 30
Halifax 25
Batley 25
Bulls 24
Featherstone 22

Great opportunity for Batley to finish on at least 31 points

GFB, based on that, London aren't safe yet (if Batley and Fax beat them). It's all still to play for!

I think London could get dragged in to it yet, yeah. Again if they get safe then they have a big say in who makes the top 4.

Re: The Run In : Mon Jun 27, 2016 8:59 am  

The dreaded scenario is that we have to go to Fev on the last day of season requiring a win to scrape into the Top 4.

Unfortunately, that's a scenario that now looks increasingly likely

That would be an absolute humdinger of a battle - and if there's one thing we know that our guys don't fancy, its a battle...

TBF I would snap your hand off having to go to Fev, win and get into top 4

Well, yeah - starting from where we are it's a fair option!

I'm a Leyther and I hear what you are saying about your current form. Nevertheless, having seen the way you have always played against us, I still think Sunday is too close to call.

We'll give it a good go and narrowly lose to the better team. Then the players will be all over twitter saying "gutted about the result. Fans were brilliant as always" blah blah blah.

I found it hilarious some of the Bulls players moaning at England losing to a supe market yesterday. To which many Bulls fans responded that we lost to a bloody bank!!

I've no great expectations Alan - we have a number of injuries and too many new players and loanees still finding their feet - even if we were playing well, which we're not. And another new player to play his first game at the LSV seemingly. I hope we can give you a decent game but, much as I'll be there cheering, I can think of precious few reasons why we would come out on top.

Re: The Run In : Tue Jun 28, 2016 11:23 am  

Looking at the Highlights, that was a toilet paper defence and Fax wiped their metaphorical derriere with it. There is still an alarming lack of Leadership on the field and has been all season. Injuries at key times don't help and also with new players also coming in adds to the fragility when things go wrong!
Occasionally backs against the wall can sometimes inspire Players to stand up and be counted which unlike Wakey Or Cas the Bulls haven't had to do since SL started so I wouldn't count on that happening. Although I can see a Large Lady in the background practising the scales she isn't far from having a warble!

Here's hoping that lots of you come over. LSV really bounces with two passionate sets of supporters giving their all.
