| 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!

| Quote: Jim Pooley "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.'" drone

I would be amazed if Sheffield were promoted!

| 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

| Leigh v Fev was absolute disgrace. Both clubs should be fined and docked 4 or more points each. Won't happen though.

| I'm glad you asked Micky.Cos I don't have clue what he's on about.Fev came with a tactic as most do these days.Fev lost the game and also took their tactics home with them,no doubt to bring them back when we meet again.

| Leigh & Fev, what was it - 8 stoppages for players running in to push each other? Ridiculous. I was hoping it would be a good game to finish the weekend and it was dull. Unless you like handbags.
Ref should have binned Hock for the first event and maybe a game would have happened. As it was, everyone decided they needed to show they weren't intimidated and it degenerated.

| I watched the Leigh & Fev game on TV. It was really tedious with all the stoppages. I don't mind a bit of a dust up, now and then, but I could not be bothered with it. I turned it over well before the end and watched the cricket. .
Gareth Hock each time he comes onto the pitch, is an accident waiting to happen. He doesn't do his team or the sport any favours.

IMO the ref had no hope. A few players on both sides were just up for a scrap, Hock being the leading culprit but not the only one. It's a great shame that he's degenerated from being a skilful and effective player with a few too many rough edges into just a bunch of rough edges.
It will be interesting to see what the disciplinary makes of it all next week.
