Middle 8 Possibilies : Mon Jun 22, 2015 9:01 pm  

With 2nd now out of the question i have updated our possible opponents in the middle 8's which is not certain by any means three wins will be good enough, possibly two could be enough unfortunately our points difference has taken a battering

Sheffield P18 26 Points +123
Halifax P18 22 Points +158
Fev P17 22 Points +116
London P18 22 Points +67

Remaining Games
H Workington A Halifax H Bradford H Featherstone A London

If we beat Halifax the maximum they can get is 30 Points
If we beat London the maximim they can get is 30 Points
however they are due to play at the shay on Sunday so after that game will make things a bit clearer
If we beat Featherstone the maximum they can get is 32 Points however they still have away games to Bradford and Leigh

Middle 8 Possibilities
If we finish 3rd
Home Widnes, Wakefield, Halifax
Away Hull KR, Leigh, Bradford, Salford

If we finish 4th
Home Hull KR, Leigh, Salford
Away Widnes, Bradford, Wakefield, Halifax

It's a toss up, but in the way you have worked this out 4th looks a better option

Jaysus - far too many variables to be thinking about the fixture list for August and September at the moment.

How about just waiting and seeing ?



Meanwhile - anyone got a 2017 fixture list handy ?

Thanks,duggs.

I just hope London take a lot out of Halifax this weekend.

I also hope we don't take too much out of Bradford on 12th July as they have a very important game the following week.

That's the good news ended.Just need a date for the fixture with Leigh - should we both finish in the top 4

Must put it in my diary and cancel all other engagements.

No I'm not surprised. Just a tongue in cheek response to not caring if people like us or not

I hope we have a near-repeat of the Keepmoat game, maybe just change the final score around!

Ah yes,Workington.Where Jamie Acton played after being at Wigan and Oldham.Despite reaching mature years he seems to have a disciplinary record well recorded since his arrival and coaching at Leigh.( Nothing so regularly consistent at his former clubs.) I wonder why that is? Perhaps you wounded souls could explain?

I did read,I think on the VT on the long running Discipline at Leigh thread,that rugby league is a physical game and not netball - written by a Leigh follower defending the indefensible.

No worries though for you lot - you have signed at least 4 forwards since the season started from Super League which should cover for the latest ban for Acton.

You haven't offered a bet yet as to whether or not the putative victim of the assassination squad will be playing against Warrington on Saturday.

I would dare to suggest that Leigh have more players banned before the Middle 8's get underway.

Trying desperately to divert attention from your discipline disgrace won't change anything.
