Well most teams had better stop conversions (Leigh even more so with Riddys kicking power) However Bradford should be excused from the ban with their kicker as he couldn't even reach the try line on most of his kicks, infact the only time he managed to kick into the stand was when he missed the sitter from 20 yrds out.

9th & 10th in Sl get 4 home games, as do 1st & 2nd in championship.

The mix is interesting though from risk/reward.

I would say that finishing top gives you the best chance of getting into the 4/5 playoff. As you play the other 3 champ clubs at home and the 11th place SL team. So lower risk of missing out altogether.

Finishing second, though, you get the 9th, 11th & 12th place SL club at home. But 2 wins from them and you have a riskier chance of finishing top3, and bypassing the 4/5 playoff altogether. although also a higher chance of finishing 6th or lower...

But that'll take care of itself. You can't predict or plan for 2nd in the table. Win as many games as you can then see where you are

OK no worries mate but we will have to agree to disagree as I think with Wigan Warrington and Saints only being up the road no more than 10 miles Wigan only 7 miles away they would travel in numbers, anyway we may never know.

Great following from Bradford mind and we have sold twice as many season tickets this year mate than last so our crowds should be well up this season, good luck mate and look forward to the return fixture and I am sure we will bring a good following to yours.

Higson, goulden, Williams and siejka charged. No surprises really.

Higsn out for a few week anyway so only Tommy to worry about and his great record will go in his favour I reckon here. One match at the most Id say

Unless they downgrade the charge, he can't get a 1 match ban. Minimum for a Grade C charge is 2 matches, so if he's found guilty he'll get at least 2, if he's found innocent he would get none.
