Sorry - I got carried away and accidentally rewrote history. Better luck next time, eh?!

Latest odds for automatic promotion i.e. top 3 finish - still only Paddy offering prices

Confirmed that our fixture away to Hull KR will now be played on Saturday 12th September and will be on Sky.

Oh dear lets hope for everyone's sake, except Hull KR of course, that we put on a better spectacle in front of the camera's than we did against Wakey.

It will be interesting to see how Hull come out against Wakey this weekend, will they be the wounded animal and come out all guns blazing or be totally deflated and for the taking.

Talking of fixtures I have looked but I can't find out when the 'million pound' game will be, will it be Sat 3rd Oct or Sun 4th, does anyone know?

Any word what game will be on sky the weekend we play Leigh??

No but I don't think it will be our game. I've heard it mentioned somewhere that Sky would only be showing games with at least one (current) SL side taking part. So an all championship game might be off the table by default.

Other fixtures that weekend:
Sheffield v Hull KR
Wakefield v Halifax
Widnes v Salford

I'd say Widnes v Salford will probably be the SKY game.

Am I right in thinking sky took the rights to show championship games away from premier sports?? Yet they have only shown the summer bash!

With news that Kelly could be done for at KR it leaves me optimistic, KR are safe and i really cant see them being dragged into a survival fight soooo, if they beat Wakey which they are more than capable of and I think they would like as it cements them on 8pts and definitely safe, i could see them then resting a couple of players against us as the week later they play Sheffield (a game they should win comfortably) and be fresh for the final match against Salford.

We could still spring an upset or 2 these next few weeks, nitty gritty is that we need to beat both Fax an Leigh if we can do that then we are going to be fighting it out but 3/4 gets us promoted and i think thats possible with who we have to play.

COYB dont let us down now.

Too many "ifs" and "but's" for me at the minute but I am enjoying the excitement that the qualifying 8's has brought to the game.

It's amazing how we went from one week where promotion looked so far away... And then in the space of 80 minutes it become so close again. Who knows what this weeks episode will bring!!

Roll on Sunday

Dont think so. Its difficult justifying resting players for a home game so close to the end of the season. With 3 home games and only Sheffield away they must have a decent chance of a 100% record in the Middle 8s.

If Kelly is out when we play them I think they will be weak missing both halves. That would be great news and gives me that little bit of confidence. We can beat Widnes. If we do, then KR without their halves would be worth watching.

Wakey are capable of beating them also. If they do, then KR would be needing two more wins to stay away from that scary one off game where anything can happen.
