Sorry Halifax 1989, whilst finishing in the top 4 is a good achievement in itself, the mentality of a job done will undo all the hard work HRLFC have done over the regular season. it does matter if Fax get hammered in the next 7 games, do you think RM will say to his guys " Hey boys not a problem getting stuffed, we made the top 4". This was a problem Clive Woodward had in the previous Union World Cup before England won the Webb Ellis Trophy, by saying "I can get you to the final" that they did then thought job over and got stuffed in the final. No I agree with Norman, Winning breeds winning, lets go out and enjoy but still with the aim to win. plus the higher up the 8 the more money, the better quality players that may be attracted to Fax.
One final thought, if D/R is to continue, be in there first and snap up one of the bigger clubs, with possibly better quality players to use.

I think injuries will come into it now. There's a lot of players who have been pushing through the pain barrier to get here; will they be able to keep that up for another 7 games now the target has been reached?
