You will already be on your way (officially) to SL by the time the quarter-final comes around. So will the players care? I suspect there'll be a few sore heads next weekend in Widnes. Every team from then on will be trying to give you a pasting. Will your players be big/strong/professional enough? You will find out shortly.

Alternatively the NRC won't matter to you once the nod is official, so just let us win anyway

You'd like to think, But i personally think the players will have something to play for, Their spot in super league.

Can we pass on 'a tick' if we don't want it?

Maybe so, but as you announce all your wonderful overseas players over the rest of the season, more will realise their days are numbered.

It is certainly a difficult draw made all the harder with it being away.
But these games definitely generate the best atmosphere in this league and I suppose it's a bit of a shame that our two teams couldn't contest the final and pack the ground out.

I'm pretty relieved we can't meet in the final to be honest, I don't think I could stomach potentially losing a final to your lot.

Potentially a sell out too in the expanded Bloomfield road would of been great for Championship!

Maybe, maybe not... Only time will tell. Betts has told them they all have a shot at SL contracts.

Like saying a fringe player stepping in for suspension wouldn't bother as be off next year.

Our lads will have SL contracts to play for and if not will want a top champ deal at the likes of yourselves / Fax & Fev or even just a contract full stop. Plenty to play for

And a nightmare for the losers. The Sunday night entertainment would be VM chucking himself off the pier!

Capacity of 16,000 so doubt it'd sell out but I'd have thought a game like that would hit 10,000 at the very least.

Would think it will be a good crowd for the final anyway if one of Widnes, Leyth, Fev or 'Fax get there.
