Actually Col the Sunday was also my day off and booked off and can't be changed to the Friday, Every other Thursday is my day off.Every other weekend I'm off.We made family arrangements for that Sunday for Rugby. I won't be there the family will be.

I appreciate people have too sometimes change days off and so to accommodate Rugby these days due to Sky but this is a pathetic reason from DB and not even justified.

Actually I booked my holidays around the fixtures. Going to see my family in Malta arrive back at 7-30 pm so no chance of making it

Feel sorry for the likes of yourself, and do see your point, DB seems pretty genuine to me without really knowing him. I'd like to think he'd do the same had it been Wigan requesting

To be fair I suppose I'm a little selfish as unless the game is switched to between 9 and 5 modaynto Friday I won't have much of a problem attending - one of the lucky ones I suppose

Let's hope we all learn a little for next season- the announcement of Saturday night games has been a farce in all honesty

I like Derek and think what he is doing is great, a real heart on sleeve type of guy, this season is a learning curve but next season we need to ensure we are a little bit more professional and pick a day/night to play RL on and unless on TV we stick to it it as essentially the sport is about spectators and I think at times clubs are increasingly forgetting that in a desire to listen to coaches who will always want more recovery time.
I really do think the Salford fixture switch was done with best intentions of pleasing but I think in future we need to think more about the reasoning especially if we want to build a fan base - pick a day to play our games and stick to it as people will get in a habit of going.

Probably best for the club as i can see us being on TV midweek in the middle 8's.

Top 8 is a no goer, but finishing 9 or 10 is absolutely massive.

Massive games this week, a must for Leigh. Wire v Cats massive for Wire,Hudds v Pies who can call that? Widnes game is massive. Top 8 is still very much alive.

To be fair Atomic:

Top 8 is not looking likely - Heres why!

Up until the end of the regular season the bottom 6 clubs play each other 10 times.

Widnes v Leigh
Huddersfield v Wigan
Warrington v Catalans
Catalans v Leigh
Wigan v Widnes
Huddersfield v Widnes
Warrington v Leigh
Catalans v Wigan
Wigan v Warrington
Huddersfield v Leigh

There are 10 points on offer - we are already 6 points behind Wigan and Huddersfield -top 8

If they win 2 of the remaining 5 games they have as good as pushed us into the bottom 4

We have to win all 5

Realistically we should be looking at 9th or 10th to get the extra home game.

Its achievable (we are only 2 points off 10th (Warrington) and we have to play them yet)

Its not impossible, but either Huddersfield or Wigan would have to seriously implode

I dont see you mentioning Saints v Salford? Saints must play a part also!

Granted we must win all.

Saints are not bottom 6

I was only going off those - they are another point above Huddersfield and Wigan

Thats 7 in front of us

Yes, but we have 5 to play = 10 points. Saints are on 17

Saints fixtures.

Salford
Leeds Rhinos
Hull FC
Catalans Dragons
Wakefield Trinity

Think we might have slightly driffted off topic here

Don't know what all the fuss is about we going to be bottom 4 we not getting out of this I'm happy with the progress and signings we making to stay in the SL we got to look to next season now and think as this one as a positive if we avoid the drop

Staying on topic,should we win the next 4..Salford would be a huge game..

Could've done with the extra couple of days rest then...
