Quote: rochdale warrior "There is a note saying " the free travel is subject to limitations " yet to be explained, I understand about the cost it is the 2 points and giving away home advantage that I object to, I wonder how the players really feel having worked all season to get home advantage for the extra game ( 4 ) and see it thrown away.'"
Catalans are in 8th place and in the UK they have only managed a win (Wakefield) and a draw (Huddersfield) from 13 games, including a 34-0 hammering from us. I'd also bet that they will be mathematically out of reach of the top 4 by the time we play them. Not saying it's in the bag but it's not something I'm more worried about pointwise than usual.
As for how the players feel, I'm fairly sure if you were to ask them "Why have you worked all season to make the top 4?" they would say "To make the play offs." which is the real benefit.
