9th August 3pm at the shay.

We are no doubt playing well , but in the real world I think the odds of qualifying are stacked against us, though I do think we can win around 3 games and upset a couple of teams dreams.

That's a tough start but will give us some pointers for the next games, I think Widnes will finish top with possibly KR next, depending on how they go in the cup, ifthey get to the final it will be a tough few weeks for them.

Id like to think we will win but im really nervous already!

LOL - if we win 3 games, we'll almost certainly be in the "million pound" game.

The Widnes pack isnt too cracky, I think if we can get on top of their pack we have a chance.

EXCLUSIVE: Our first home #Super8s fixture will be against @Halifax_RLFC. (Sunday 16 Aug at 3 pm) Full fixture list to be revealed at 10:15am

The piece on the Halifax site says next Sunday, which I make 2nd August, but the tweet on the same site says 9th. Confused.com

its been sorted now if u check back

Best possible start. We don't want to be playing Widnes at home in match 5 if we aren't doing so well as the crowd may be dire. This way the anticipation on day one should make it a good attendance.

Awful opening fixtures as we face the two toughest opponents straight up.

Was hoping for Sheffield first as it's our best chance of a win and to face Hull KR & Widnes the last two so we could spring a shock as they'll likely be qualified by then. We'd then be looking at winning one of Dulls, Leigh, Wakey & Salford to get that 3rd win and hopefully 5th spot !!

I guess there's mixed opinions

In any event - we're in the top four. We're in (in my opinion) the most exciting competition of the three super 8 comps. What a time to be alive!!

Ourselves and Sheffield have been screwed in these fixtures. Have a look at the games which we would class as winnable and see who they play the week before. We were going to be doing it tough anyway but it just got a lot harder.

Not really, pal. It's designed to give clubs who finish higher an advantage. We've already gained quite a bit, compared to clubs in Divs 1 and 2½, just by starting on zero points. We're talking about winning three games to get in the Million Pound Game. Dons are talking about winning three games and still not getting off the bottom.

Happy that there are no Friday night games looking fwd to a couple of days out at Wakey,Donny & Cod land with the esteemed Beer guides Mr&Mrs Hudd-Shay
