We need to beat Whitehaven on sunday to qualify. If we lose (even with a bonus point) we will not qualify unless there are some strange results - Swinton would have to beat Doncaster at Doncaster and Workington would have to beat featherstone.

Some strange fixture permutations arent there this year icon_confused.gif

I would have gone for last years NL1 top 8 seeded for a decent knock out stage.

I have a weird feeling we may get shafted Sunday so we cant posssibly win the NRC. As the NRC winners can apply for a franchise.

kcab sfrawdder Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg



Got to say that I am a bit more excited about the qualifying process this year than previous

In recent years you could play 6 games , lose 4 and still qualify

Much better this year

I'd better go for a lie down now as I have just realised that I am praising the RFL for doing something right for the NLs/Championships icon_rolleyes.gif

Anyone know how knockout stages work re the draw. ie Is there an advantage to finishing top of group ? Now this did annoy me in previous seasons.

No , it's a straight draw

Having said that unless we win on Sunday we quite possibly will not make the knock out stages

Kind of looking forward to the Haven game, with a bit of a edge to it.

Shame about format for knockout stages (with or without us) as other comps give some kind of advantage for finishing top of a group in earlier stages.

Group games just seem to be a way of passing time, until the League starts! icon_wink.gif

Thing is Alan in previous seasons we would have already qualified but would have had 3 more games to play

This year it is a win or bust against Haven , and if we do win we take out one of the other favourites icon_lol.gif

I have never been that keen on this comp especially the pointless qualifiers , but basically our season is now up and running

Lose and we are out

Good innit icon_lol.gif

Perhaps the new format has been designed to bring these types of games in when there is only one fixture left to play. We always have a well fought game against Haven and I'm sure this weekend will be the same and hopefully we can progress and knock out one of the 'big guns'.

Don't think there's any doubt that we're in the driving seat - keep the faith people, even a bonus point defeat on Sunday might be enough for us. Great to have a qualifying game that actually means summat.

2015 - major missed opportunity, 2016 - stronger teams = harder task (no problem there then), 2017 - OMG What now!!!:953.jpg
