Season deciding game in my eyes.
Toronto look to be improving with each passing week, but we really need to win over there, or the top 4 spot that we looked so assured of earlier in the season will be in real danger.....Away to Toulouse, Featherstone and at Home to Halifax are other potential "end games"......exciting, but uncomfortable to watch.

Stick by my prediction on the other thread, losses to Toronto and Toulouse away coming up.
16 possible points left reckon 10 at best, will that get us 4th slot? It’s going to be close.
Would love to see Toronto implode at home and us overturn em, but we will not do that playing like we did today.

I looked at our remaining fixtures and came up with 10 points.

Top 4 would be nice. This team sadly cant compete at middle 8 level and we will take some hammerings should we get there.

The team that started the season would compete well in the 8s, this version is far too clunky. There is something not quite right at the moment, and there seemed to be a lot of recriminations behind the sticks rather than collectiveness.

As for games, Toronto away will be a miracle, Toulouse will be tough but do-able, but for me provided we don't have a banana skin moment, it will come down to Fev game away.

Plummy, changes from the first few games compared to today are; Api out, Helliwell out other than that we are at full strength.

Our style has changed. Opening 6 games we went wide early now for some reason we seem to want to go up the middle(Hendo esq)

Wire quin, not sure it’s down to api, we had a few good wins with meadows. You are right though the game plan seems to have changed, going up the middle we get nowhere. 4 or 5 drives then a kick has its place but not all game.
We have some excellent edge players who can be dazzling when they get the right ball! We looked good when we played expansive

The problem is playing players out of position. No cover at HB or Hooker

Players out of natural position is never going to help, Jon wells picked it out right from the start as a weakness, and he was not wrong

I honestly think had we had a proper HB alongside Sammut we may have got something out of that game. We were second best all day long, had only one attacking threat in Sammut and yet we still was in it up till the end. We were too easy to defend against as Channing was too slow and they knew they only had to keep Sammu quiet (and they struggled with that). Another attacking option would have given us more chances I fancy.

Just watching batley Dewsbury game, much more entertaining, both teams playing expansive rugby and seems to be a lot quicker than our game. Probably a good choice putting us on first.
Can’t really criticise Channing that much, as said he was out of position he is not a HB. Dixon heading to the touch line twice not good.
On the plus, the penalty count was pretty low

Prepare for high heat and humidity in this game....4 day heat wave will end tomorrow. Hit and miss for you guys....they say shes going to be a really hot summer in the Big Smoke.
Prepare for high heat!

We're looking for payback for that great win you had over us earlier in the season.

Spookily weather forecast in Toronto that weekend is very nearly same as weather forecast for london low 20s and humidity around 60%. Toronto is further south than london so not that unusual for it too be warm in summer. But pretty sure the boys will cope, travel time is going to be main factor, that and so far broncos have been rubbish away from home generally, reckon this will be a walk in the Park for the home team

We are currently sat below a part time team in Fax with Toronto, TO and Fev away to go and Fax home

Toronto will clean the floor with us and finish our top 4 aspirations.

4th place is best I reckon we will get. Fev Last 8 games, reckon they will win 5 out of those reasonably easy. Then it’s us fax and Toronto to trouble em. Leigh are similar they will win at least 5 f there last games, with 3 games that will trouble em including Toronto and Toulouse.
Fax are similar!
We need to beat fax at home then at least one of Toronto Fev or Toulouse. Only one I can see us possibly taking is Fev.
4th May come to points difference.

If he persists with Channing they will.
