Bonus Point Required : Sun Aug 15, 2010 4:12 pm  

Batley scored a late try at Halifax to collect a failure point in a 30-22 defeat, something we must equal against Leigh if we are to make the playoffs as Batley have a home banker next Sunday against Whitehaven, and a superior points difference.

At least it's in their hands and they know what they have to do.

Easier said than done though (esp on SKY !)

Re: Bonus Point Required : Sun Aug 15, 2010 7:42 pm  

as has been said we need a bonus point against leigh on thursday to finish sixth , but with our form on sky i'm not very confident so i hope the lads prove me wrong ,i'll be there cheering them on, but what ever happens i'll be back next season and planning my holidays round our fixtures as i did this season .

Just a quick one. . . our home banker next week is away. I would have thought you would have to be favourite against Leigh so no problems at all for you.

Favourites against Leigh? On the basis of the last two performances?

Re: Bonus Point Required : Mon Aug 16, 2010 8:25 am  

I think we'd rather play Sheffield than Batley in the play offs (don't intend that to be disrespectful although I'd understand if it came across that way!) so look out for a convenient 11 point win by ourselves that will hopefully mean we finish third and the Eagles sixth

Woops just knew you were playing Fax away this week and Havent next so I assumed it would be at home, a severe case of puttin two and two together and getting five. Favourites against Leigh? We wouldn't be favourites against Haven or Keighley the way we've played the last two games.

You've got yourself a deal

You could make the playoffs by losing and thus being awarded points. Only in Rugby League, eh?

Agreed, it's ridiculous. In the end we did it by winning anyway.
