| Really think it is that strange??. The way things are going I dont fancy our chances of winning against Fev or Halifax. Of course we are in the mix but right now I would say Toulouse and TWP are clear and safe. Its then down to us, Leigh, Fax and Fev. In a mini league at the moment I cannot see us getting the better of the others. I would love to be proved wrong, just cant see it myself. Fingers crossed lets see how we get on.

| Fev have lost both of their half backs, so that's really going to hit them hard.
No-one expected a victory in Toronto, so nothing's changed in the last 24 hours. Rochdale, Swinton, Batley, Barrow should all be victories, then it comes down to the other 3 - Toulouse, Fev and Fax.
It's all to play for, don't go slitting your wrists just yet.

| I noticed those Fev injuries, could help us. See they have signed Dwyer though, that's a good move.
Yep we are still in it, I just find LB a bit depressing. We seem to be muddling along in a state of flux. Will we stay FT. Will Hughes pull the plug. Do we even want to be in SL.
Onwards and upwards, I'm bringing 5 newbies Sunday. Lets hope we smash Rochdale

I sponsored the Petone Panthers Kids last month and my sponsors T-shirt arrived today.....only a single XL and it fits ![Cool icon_cool.gif](images/smilies//icon_cool.gif) ....that's gotta be good news!!
In other news, the chairman of Upper Hutt Tigers saw me DJ'ing at my local bar last week wearing my 2007 Quins RL shirt....he knew straight away that RL stood for Rugby League
...oh.....we can and still probably should make the top 4, but the reality is we will be fodder if we do........I reckon 1 more loss and we'll squeeze in.......but we need to beat fev/fax......

| Making the top 4 is critical financially to the other 3(To Leigh not making the top 4 could be the end)
I'm unsure what it means to us.

| Quin, it could be the end for Leigh if they don’t make top 4? Not sure what you mean! As for us, we could squeeze in, it’s down to what other teams do as much as our results.

| Is it Toulouse v Leigh next weekend?
Hopefully that's Leigh dropping two points.

Derek Beaumont was on back chat a few weeks back and said they had projected financially to make the top 4 with the money that comes with it. Failure to make it would be beyond his financial clout and he would give the club away. The issue being they have spent 'big' and have players tied in to 2 year contracts.

| I doubt very much it would be the end for them though, they have a fair bit of history, and one season does not make a club.
Hope the trip to Toulouse is a bit much for leigh

| Miserable sod aren't I (Honest chaps, im not!!) I was just looking at the club as a whole, not through tinted LB glasses, and could not see much to be positive about!!! CMG, cant this former Auckland Owner work some magic with us??
Re Leigh, the two bits of info I read elsewhere were a)Along the lines of Beaumont had told fans on one of the away coaches that he would keep them going if needed. b) They have 2 players so far, one a big name forward ready to join once they make the 8s. Could all be rubbish of course, who knows. I wonder if we might do the same and bring a couple in ??

Miserable sod
To be honest I hear where you are coming from on the whole, but to write off our season and the 8s at this stage is premature. We win all our games and we are in the 8s. Our destiny is in our own hands.
That said, our troops look a bit jaded and depleted and an injection of a player or two, even on loan might spark things up. Hellewell must be back soon and he will do a better job in the centres, an area we always lack in. For me, back up hooker, string second row / centre.

| That was part of my sulky rant tbh, our squad is lacking in some important areas. We lost WB and AA. That money must have been accounted for so why did we not invest it back into the squad and replace them?? If we are serious about SL then we need to show that with the squad. If we do make the 8s, teams around us are and will strengthen. We are already behind some of those sides as we stand so that will put us further back. A couple of Loan/DR right now could give us a bit of a boost and allow some of the players a much needed rest.

| We have travelled out to Toronto and played a team of ex SL players whilst suffering jet lag. We dont have Toulouse when we arrive back with jet lag so we should put up a decent fight in our home game. Every team in the championship will have to play two jet lag games apart from Toronto. They have had the easiest ride of all teams as they dont have to come backwards and forwards across the pond to play their games at the end of the season. Uhm coming to think of it they didn't have to do it at the beginning of the season either. Forget Toronto, as the easy time they have received from the RFL ie playing venue, jet lagging every other team and is there such a thing as salary cap showed they were going to make them go into SL come hell or high water. Just dont give up on us yet all the other teams still have to cross the pond
