Outright 3rd : Sun Apr 28, 2019 4:30 pm  

Outright 3rd after 13 rounds. I was not expecting that.
Starting to get our home form back and if we can do the French at the KCOM on Friday we could open up a little cushion on the chasing pack.
Cas have Wires and Wakey away to Huddersfield respectively, so both fairly tough.
Would be nice to have a four point advantage in 3rd after round 14.

Certainly handily placed coming up to the midway point of the season.

Catalans on Friday is a vital game for the reasons as pointed out by my honourable friend, the member for Withernsea.

Warrington away... well lets not talk about that but the Magic game is another one that we should be winning.

Hang on a minute. I'm confused. Mrs. B said we would struggle today with Wakefield's super duper set of forwards?

Good to be in 3rd. Lots of teams are misfiring this year, but you can only beat what's in front of you as they say. Hopefully we can consolidate this position in the coming weeks and find out best form at the business end.

3rd is very important with the new playoff structure. Has to be our goal now.

I thought we would, especially with Mini, Bowden and Lane missing and losing Hadley mid game plus Ellis in the bin and Paea off for a head assessment. Forward battle result very pleasing and unexpected from my perspective.

Fair enough. As I said pre match, I felt it was a game that we should be winning. Wakefield's pack is good, but it's only Fifita that is really top class. As a whole they are well behind the likes of Saints, Cas and even Catalans imo. It becomes a better result when you take into account Faraimo dropping out of the squad and the in game injuries.

Good to hear of your new found optimism and expectations.

To be fair Patton, after the Wire and Wakey debacles even my long association with the happy clappers club was tested and I was in the “I’m not sure about Radford” camp. The amazing trip to Catalan and Rovers win, brought me back down to Earth. Saints away has been a graveyard for FC, especially the good sides of the Eighties, shellackings by 60 points, a regularity!! I’m a happy bunny again, Radford IN.

Shame we threw away the 2 points at the dobbins or it would have been even better
