I hope we start off with either the Sheffield or Fax game as these are our best chances of points. It would also mean Locke being available for the later games.
No doubt who ever is in charge will give us Leigh, Hull KR or Widnes for starters.

I'm sure I read somewhere that the opening weekend of the middle 8's will see Bottom of Super League away at Top of Championship. With Sky televising a game from each round also (Saturday evenings) I expect us to face a trip to Leigh Sporting Village on Saturday 8th August.

They've gone to great pains to not announce anything.
Lot's of people have been guessing, but we find out next Wednesday

Well,what a waste of £36 pounds that was.Jordan and me went to watch Fev v Whitehaven tonight and if that's the best the top of the Championship can offer then Wakey will breeze it,booed off at half time and full time,not many left having said that.Well played Whitehaven,well deserved £36 I ask you

Sorry which of those teams are top of the championship? Fev have flaterred to deceive at times this year and Whitehaven are average at best in the championship. Were as the Bradford vs Leigh game the other week was of quite a high standard and intensity almost befitting a Super League quality game! However I do agree we should be good enough to beat all the championship sides if we play to our potential.

Well I was impressed with Leigh against Bradford too but I have to say both teams made a lot of mistakes..... Just like we do.
It will be interesting.

If it's Leigh v us in first round expect it will be a Thursday or Friday. Catalan home games will be added in on Saturdays now as they were told if made top 8 could televise them but if only made middle 8 were not allowed.

Pretty sure SKY have said they will be televising one of the middle 8's games each Saturday. If we're playing Leigh that first weekend I can't see SKY televising anything other than our game.

They beat Bradford away,what I was getting at is that Fev have been battling for the top 4 all season and would have been my bet for a top 4 finish,they just missed out on that,with yesterdays performance I can see why.Regarding the top 4 and Wakey here's my take.Leigh just beat a low on confidence,rock bottom Wakey,Wakey beat quite comfortable Halifax.I personally think we will win through.
