It's getting very tasty this comp
Can't believe they refused to let Derek in though at Bradford last night
How petty

Didn't he try one of the turnstiles? Surely his mugshot isn't posted up on all of them?

Both Fev and Fax playing well at the mo' ... I've always said that the battle for 4th will be the most interesting this season. And if Sheffield miss out altogether that will be quite amusing.

I'm not surprised the miserable sods at Bradford wouldn't let Derek in even in.Its always been a unfriendly place to visit 81 / 82 I seem to remember Alan Rathbone got into trouble for nicking a extra piece of malt loaf LOL
Just stuff them big style Centurions 19th July

After Fev's win last night its the first time I have thought that Fax might not make the top 4. I then looked at the league table and whichever 2 teams dont make the top 4 are going to be streets ahead of the other teams in the championship 8's as they keep the points. That competition will be a waste of time as the top 2 are nailed on for the final. So you either have the fun of helping or hindering teams getting promoted or relegated or tread water in the middle 8's.

The problem for Bradford and Leigh is that both are more than capable of losing to any of 4 teams that make up the top 4 out of that group where as its unlikely the SL clubs will.

But then again on the flip side, Leigh are probably the only team capable of beating any of SL teams.

Which is why it's important to finish top. While I don't see the 3rd / 4th place Championship teams being whipping boys in the play offs, the odds are that the 4v5 play off will involve 2 out of Leigh, Bradford and Wakefield. Finishing top gives you home games against the other two which will be must win games. Plus, if Fev were to finish 4th, probably better to play them at POR, when you look at the home / away records.

Good news for us, though I think we'll win at Odsal anyway so it wouldn't have mattered, looks better for us to be clear at the top though. Means the Fev game will no doubt be very tough now though, hopefully we'll get a strong ref to keep it a good game and don't let Fev spoil it like they did in Blackpool.

Piemen well beaten by tha Wire tonight.Makes our performance even better. Did Briers appear as sub.at half time, as he seemed to be on the pitch all 2nd half? As regards the future, according to the Bradford website, they are in the middle of a major wobble, and I think we can afford to lose another match due to our superior points difference. In fact our toughest test could be the Featherstone match, as we all know the baggage that comes with them don't we?

I think the rubbish hype is all over and done with after last Saturday. It now time to play rugby league without the nonsense.

It could end up fax and fev in 3rd and forth which would mean both teams have finally hit for at the right time,

Owt could happen in the middle eights

The fight for 3rd and 4th is going to be really tight and may take some gas out of the tank for those teams come the middle 8's, but you are right, could be Fev and Fax.
Salford seem in disarray right now with Harris on his way out after Marwans classic statement last week
“Iestyn Harris is still the head coach. He has worked with Tim Sheens before and Tim’s appointment has no bearing on Iestyn’s position in charge.”
Would you trust that man
I'm sure Sheens will improve things but how quickly can he do it. Marwan quoted as saying that he is looking for a long term deal with Sheens but it is a short term contract for now. Watch your back Mr Sheens

The top 4 get the spoils for 2016, so by finishing 3/4 Fev/Fax would get at least £550/500k after the eights are finished which allows both clubs to go FT for 2016 if they wish - just keep Sheffield out please

This made me laugh.
