| The key could be being made to play Fax the Wed before the Haven game, we should refuse. Play it when it suits us I say.

| it could be the key as i can see Fax playing a weeker team as they will probably have secured there play off position and as i have said will be happy for us to stay up rather than the other two imo.

| Quote: WHERESYERBALL "Sorry Keith i completely disagree with you. In the present financial climate Leigh are a must for these clubs whether we challenge them or not an the RFL know this, they know that the likelyhood of us having a good side next season will happen therefore our travelling support will increse and they need the money, also as has been said before how can 2 teams out of ann11 team comp go down? doesn't make sense also only one Lancashire team in the championship doesn't look good does it? Hopefully they will see sense and increse the league to 12 or just relegate the already finacially stricken dons
Good ideas but unlikely because firstly it would be unfair on the playoff winners in Championship 1 and secondly the other idea leaves only 9 teams in that league for next season.
A more sensible suggestion might be to amalgamate both leagues play 32 league games a season, have the NRC as a straight knockout and a top 8 playoff.
Course if we do survive leave things as they are.

| The points For column surely is depressing. Looking at the table we still have advantage over Gateshead (game in hand too) if we can win the Toulouse game. If Sheff can do us a favour today then it really does set the Toulouse game as a big game, and possibly most important since 2004 IMO.
Will Batley lose at home though ?
Anyway if we deserve to stay up, its still in our own hands.

Exactly, and although yesterday's result was a surprise, it doesn't alter anything for us. We still have to win our own games - it's still in our hands.

| Halifax are beatable at the moment to be fair. There are games to win for you, it's going to be tough to stay up which is a shame but you can still do it.
Good luck guys, I do mean that.

We still have to win games though Derek. Batley one point ahead, and Gateshead one point behind, but we've got a game in hand. That was theoretically Batley's easiest remaining game.

| So if Batley lose all there remaining without a BP we are safe if we get 2 BPs (pts diff means 1 won't be enough) or one win, against either Toulouse/Fax or Haven. On current form can you honestly say we can do it?
The only way I see it is if Havens play off place is decided and they rest a few. Then again we could beat toulouse as they don't travel well so we are told just after beating Fev at Fev and Featherstone have just beaten Widnes.
The form lines....they say no

43504.jpg Rugby League is folklore. What captures our imagination is not simply the winning or the losing, it's the stories. The stories of perseverance, of sheer will, of hard work, of heartbreak, of miracles, and of triumph and tragedy.:43504.jpg |

| Ive never known so many pessimists to gather in so many numbers, were a point behind Batley with a game in hand, were a point ahead of Gateshead, again with a game in hand, our fate is in our hands. If the players went out onto the pitch with your attitude youd be on their backs quick enough, SHUT UP AND GET BEHIND THE TEAM.

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 |

| At the minute we are the weakest link , we are the ones who need a massive change of form
All Gateshead and Batley have to do is continue what they are doing , ie scoring points , because of that both of them will pick up more points , be they from wins or bonus

| I am behind the team, WE CAN ALL HAVE OPINIONS AND WE CAN ALL SHOUT. But I don't want to do that. Pessimism/realism call it what you like but don't tell me to shut up.

| To get back to the original question, me! Batley wont pick up anymore points with their remaining games being so hard and we will get at least 2 more bonus points, maybe even 2 wins.

And what do you think all this will achieve? As I said, our fate is in our hands, only we can do something about it, and all this "were doomed" mentality and attitude will not help, and if you are behind the team, then SHOW IT.
