| Statement due this week. I'm informed they have brought in a lawyer. Again don't hang your hat on this.

| So a dose of middle 8 reality are folk still convinced leigh or bradfurt have got no chance? Think the results today showed that the gap can be closed. Batley running widnes close fev running dragons close.
Are we all still convinced next year's sl line up will be the same as this year

Leigh are the only chance of anyone going up and that's is 100% down to Wakefield doing a pretty good impersonation of us circa 2013. They put the cue on the rack at 22-0 and fair play to Leigh for coming back, but I suspect that when they meet again in the middle 8 and probable Million pound game, Wakey will have too much for them.
As for Fev and Batley....we've done them both this year and I suspect we'd get 50 stuck on us by Wakefield.

| I don't know GF, I think Leigh & Bradford have a real chance, Sheffield... well I dunno'. It's starting to look like if we had recruited properly we could have bounced back, but thats history and we need to start looking at the 3rd 8s and next season!

| I would not look into the results too much yesterday. Widnes in 2nd gear and just played very badly, and still won. There is more intensive games in Superleague and once play 7 games i am sure most of the Superleague teams will make it. I only see Leigh with a chance and cup games teams give it all. One off games.

| I think the first comment on this thread includes the comment that there will be no promotion as gap is too big.
Leigh have now beaten 2 sl teams, no reason they will not do same in 8s..
2 points of view on Sun game Wakefield out cue on rack one view other view is it took Leigh 45 mins before they got into stride and were better team.
I put em 3rd at end of 8s
I reckon we might sneak in to top 4 but will be 7th or 8th at end of 8s

| I Would have to agree, At best we could just sneak into the eight with no hope of progressing.
Considering the mess the club was or even still is in. It would probably be a mark of success.
It will be a couple more years and an overhaul of the club, before we can realistically challenge for promotion, especially the way it is set up at the moment in the Superleague teams favour.
However things can change and you just never know. The RL will probably change the formula for promotion anyway . Knowing them.

| I think we were haemorrhaging fans BEFORE we ended up in the Championship, in fact we'd halved our fanbase BEFORE we left the Stoop!
We should have been e-mailing/writing fans like crazy the second the attendance started going backwards!

| Watched Broncos, Bradford and Leigh this weekend. Only team offering entertainment was Broncos. Sadly the final impression from the games was that there are bigger teams that will bully us. I predict Broncos to finish fifth and win some silverware
