Hull KR away on Sky as well as the Salford match.

Think we have done quite well there with no 5 day turnarounds. Although I wouldn't want it to come to the last game needing a win.

Try having a lie down Harold,and be fanned down with a Match Programme.

Glad that the RFL listened to HR Jnr's Christmas list. Two home games to kick things off, though Salford will be a big ask as they were better than bottom four material and wouldn't have finished there barring the dodginess of Kool££££. Fev away is never a stroll in the park either. I do, however, rejoice to see their name on the fixture list rather than that of the Bulls as my ageing memory can't recall the last time Fev beat us. Even two seasons ago when they were our closest challengers we beat them in the cup, (closer each day) home and away in the regular season and in the play-offs - I remember thinking before the last match of Jaffar's line regarding (Disney"s) Aladdin - "How many times do I have to kill you, boy?" Then Bratfud came down and we began with the battle of LSV, followed by two other narrow wins, two draws and a loss. As a result it wasn't just schadenfreude with which I greeted the score of the Million Ha'penny Game last Sunday, but with a fair amount of relief.
I need to type something now just in case I have to eat my words in a month's time:
STRONG ALE & CURRY, STRONG ALE & CURRY, STRONG ALE & CURRY (repeat to fade)
As to Leeds last, their returning players have started to produce the results that we associate with Leeds in the last few weeks. As far as I can see it, the M8s fixture against them was looking like a write off and so that may as well account for one of the three a w away games. Good draw on the whole. Thanks HRJ.

Ian, What happened to the Salford at home for the first game?

Not a bad effort. I think Nigel Woods must read this forum. Lol

I think so too Ian, however, The Giants game at home is looking like it could be a real humdinger.

These are their fixtures

7th Aug - Salford away
14th Aug - Featherstone home
21st Aug - Batley away
4th Sep - London home
10th Sep - Leigh away
18th Sep - Leeds home
25th Sep - KR away

So potentially their game against us could wrap their promotion up.

On the other hand,these are our fixtures

Sat. 6th August London Broncos - home
Sat. 13th August Salford - home
Sun. 21st August Fev - away
Sat. 3rd September Hull Kr - away
Sat. 10th September Huddersfield Giants - home
Sat. 17th September Batley Bulldogs - home
Fri. 23rd September Leeds Rhinos - away

So a win against the Giants could potentially put us in a good position before Batley at home.

you guys think Salford were better than bottom 4 well maybe in terms of points won they were but i tell you now Leeds and Midgets are far stronger than them and H.K.R at least their equals . I do not see Batley , London or Fev beating anyone apart from each other so i reckon it will be
Leigh v H.K.R or Salford in M.P.G

3 wins against championship opposition should get you an away tie at Hull KR in the final, can't see you winning it even with all those players you've recently signed just like Wakey did last year, but it will be a big improvement and show the RL world you mean business.

We won't be going into battle worrying about the opposition, if we play to 80% completion we will compete with all of the SL clubs and 2 scalps will avoid the MP game

And you could barely beat a Rovers team with 11 players out...

i think you will find our run of form is up with the best in Super League over recent weeks

Close the thread.
