Halifax doing us a favour

Re: Super 8s The Qualifiers Game 5: Hull KR away : Sun Sep 13, 2015 3:24 pm  

A big big favour!!

Looking like 5th place is now yours to lose.

Looks like Halifax home game will be the hardest

If we beat Leigh next week and Fax lose their next game (think they're playing Wakey) doesn't that garuntee us 5th place? We'd be on 6 points, then Leigh and Fax will be on 2 points with 1 game left.

Edit: unless Sheffield win all their remaining games

Well I don't think it's changed our target too much, we still need to beat Leigh to ensure we make the £1M game. Lose and we need to rely on Widnes not fielding a weakened side, whilst needing to beat a confident Fax side with little to lose and perhaps something to gain if they beat Wakey too! Next week is still a big one and Leigh will be even more desperate now, because they simply have to win to keep their dreams alive.

It'll be just our luck if Salford have another round of can't be arsed and get taken to the cleaners by Sheffield

I agree it doesn't change much, though Halifax winning margin has helped us a bit. It could come down to points difference for 4th or 5th which was always likely. I don't really get why Lowes was so dismissive about point difference in the post match interview last week. Even when it's clear we are going to lose, every point matters. Our heads seem to drop a little too easy.

Fax have done us a favour but we still need to perform in two league matches.

Even if we get to million pound game could you see us doing a job on Wakefield away.

I don't want to sound too dismissive I just don't think we have what it takes...

I hope I am proven wrong more than anyone.

It's not set in stone we'll be away to wakefield. Win both our games and wakes losing one would see us at odsal. Would fancy us in that one provided we get a decent ref tbh.
