So by my calculations and I could be wrong - if we beat Donny next week we will be into the Middle Eights by virtue of our points difference. If that is right we need to be throwing everything at the game next week - full 1st team, no trying new lads etc. We can't afford to have the Bradford game as the decider...........I don't think my heart will stand it.....was bad enough today

You are right, beat Donny and 4th at least is ours.
Thank you BOD, RM and staff, and the Squad.

Mmmmm, you'll probably be grand. But if you lose against Bradford, your points diff will get worse, whilst it's not beyond the bounds of possibility that Fev will rack up a big score against Whitehaven.

Over 100 in front at the moment and with Doncaster to play next who you would expect us to beat by more than Fev beat Sheffield would leave Fev having to run up a cricket score and Bradford having to beat us by a big score at a time when they couldnt beat an egg. To be honest we do get better fixtures for finishing 4th though as at the moment we would have Hull Kr, Leigh, and Salford which is a lot more attractive than Wakey, Widnes, and Sheffield.

More attractive yes but not more winnable ?

I don't think any of us are under any illusions that finishing fourth above our rivals and the added cash bonus that gives is a massive unexpected boost for next year. Middle 8 results are not that important, being there at the expense of others massively affects next season.

And if the Seagulls can beat Bradford...

Dons played well yesterday. Just coming into form. Bradford can't play that badly all the time. Played well in the second half - and they need to build confidence for the eights. The last thing they'll want to do is start the middle eight off a run of four defeats in five.

Yeah agreed, Donny just hitting form at the right time of the season, timed it brilliantly.

Lets hope we don't slip on this final banana skin, everything points to a Fax win but we have learned to take nothing for granted.

Lets hope we get the result against Donny on Sunday and then stay for the double header to watch the Eagles v Fev game I'm sure they would appreciate the "Oh Hali Hali" chant.

First of all a massive well done to all involved at the club that we are even talking about 4th place being in our own hands. I think we owe Donny one from last year anyway as we were embarrassed down there at the end of the season. To be fair we have the strike power across the side to kill off what Donny will have to combat that and if we fail on Sunday then all that fantastic work previous would be pointless. RM has my vote to prepare properly and get the job done. If we do get 4th then it will have made all those long trips to Cumbria etc worth while for sure.I hope we put on the style on Sunday and show the Sheffield/ Fev fans what is stirring in the Faxland.

That's certainly one way of looking at it, are you Mark Astons press man by any chance?

Cool your jets though lads. Over on Total RL the Fev fans are convinced we will lose at Donny, the will beat the Seagulls and we'll miss out. We're getting a bit big for our boots cos we've won a couple of games apparently.

Just relax boys, the shield awaits

Not to mention 2 trips to cumbria as it stands.
