Next week if

We win
Fev beat Halifax
London beat Batley

A draw would be good enough for us and Fev to make the top 4.

Ideal scenario is Batley lose to London and Fax beat Fev. That (I think) would effectively put Fev out of the race, we'd be one point behind Fax but one point ahead of Batley.
And then in the final games, London to beat Fax and we go and get a result against Fev (tough but possible), which (I think) would see us finish third in the table.

Well on today's performance If we do get in the the middle 8s (and it's still a big if) then I think we'll make the MPG. having an actual HB doesn't half make a difference doesn't it Mr Ferres. With a superb spine of Moss/Gaskell/Chisholm/Gaskell we can give anyone a scare

Missed a fair few games, struggled in some of the ones he has played and his future lies elsewhere and you think Gaskell is so important you name him twice!!

Well said and after that first 50 or so minutes we looked world beaters (albeit only playing Whitehaven) and I do like the spine ur saying - just u meant to put Moss/Gaskell/Chisholm/"O'Brien"

If it is true that Addy and Clark are going to Hull KR and Clough, Ferguson and Gaskell are going to Huddersfield next season, due to a clear conflict of interest I don't think any of them should play in the Middle 8's, never mind the MPG, should we be lucky enough to make it to either of them.

How can any of these players possibly give 100% for the Bulls in any of these games if by doing so they might condemn themselves to the Championship next season? The whole system is unfair and puts the club and the players in an impossible situation.

Hold on you have beat haven at home let's not get carried away .

I think the coach will pick the best side he can to win games, and the players should be professional enough to know who is currently paying them. Did Welham kop out when he scored against us in the Middle 8 romp last season? All in all rugby teams are mates, it's a long time before the players move on and I doubt they'd want to let their mates down.

If we got into the Middle 8's and we didn't play Clough, Ferguson, Gaskell, Addy or Clark then I don't think we'd have much of a chance of getting close to the MPG or better.

Because we have a decent spine at last. Throughout the year we've had to endure Addy/Mathers/Haggerty in various HB combinations. We have lost in the last few minutes to Leigh twice with Mathers/Addy and Thomas as our HBs.

I'm not saying if we get in the middle 8 then we'll be celebrating a return to super league. i still think it's a huge ask to even get In there. But the quality of Moss and Chisholm is there to see and has improved our team no end.

Win - Win
