Didn't we once have similar "tension builder" across on Humberside in the days of Northern/Steam Pigs?

Can't remember the comp (JP?) but Ian Van Bellen (I think - I was gob smacked as I'd never seen him execute one before before?) kicked the best drop goal I have ever had the pleasure of seeing - 25 yard line / out to the side - slide right through the "H".

Bloody marvelous!

Yes, but the question wasn't whether I thought we would do it, but whether arithmetically it was possible. The way it looked to me wheh I put up all the remaining fixtures and analysed them was that all the clubs in the mix for 8 were due to play each other and thus what looked like a hopeless position was nt in fact hopeless. From that POV. Still didn't think we would produce an unbeaten run, and still don't, when sober and thinking straight.

And that's not because of the other results, which I remain convinced will go our way. It's because we had some, and still have one, HOME game left. And we've had so many kicks in a testicular direction at home that I now come to the games wearing a box.

However there is a part of my brain - the front bit, sadly, which always is convinced that we are going to win the next game. Can't shake it off!

Today's bet is with Paddy Power - Salford evens with a 14 point start. I couldn't bring myself to ever bet against the Bulls so I'll leave it to others but what are they thinking?
(I'm on Bulls by 6 -15 which is around 6/1. On the Odsal games I have a whole lot of cash to get back)

Iv got a patent.

Bulls/Cas/Wakey - i have a single to come back already

3 singles, 3 doubles and a treble would be nice tho

Ways this could go wrong

1. Getting beat at Hull
2. Saints fielding a reserve side
3. Getting done today
4. Quins pulling two wins out of their backside

Hmm...

We're all in this together!!!

Sheet that's no good the winning team in that is the Wildcats.

What about Kes. The Kestrel (our slim playoff hopes) make life slightly more bearable for Billy Casper (us) but it ends slung in a bin with a broken neck thanks to our bully of an older brother R Judd (Leeds Rhinos).

Don't you think Lee Briers looks like Billy Casper - facially AND build wise?

My old physics teacher (good bloke too - for a teacher ! ) played drums in school hall in Kes.

That's my bestest ever claim to fame

Is Jimmy Lowes the games master played by Brian Glover? Is Tony Smith Mr Farthing? I can imagine him going round to Briers house and finding him wanging a dead bird round and round on a piece of string behind his house.

Adrian Morley must be Judd.

That is not going to happen. After our terrible performance against Hudds kids two weeks ago we managed to turn things around and came pretty close to pulling a win off at Leeds. Unless Jammer has been too injured to play on Friday thanks to Peanut head's chicken wing tackle, we should be fielding a full side for only the second time in three months. We need that game to practice being a team again before the playoffs. So you can count us in as fielding a full team. Hopefully we will build on our rediscovered ability to play and beat them!

Hull are woeful. You'll beat them with ease. You're just relying on Catalans to not turn up.
