We may have got spanked yesterday but our home form has been very good .Since being beat by NWC at home we have gone on to beat,Donny,dews,swinton,eagles,cougars,and to be honest were hard done by in the Leigh game .We tonked Batley at their place so I would expect a win at home against them .Batleys run in is horrendous ,lots of twist turns and still some shock results to come

For what it's worth ...

The final 6 weeks of the Championship (with Sheffield still having to play their FIRST game of the season [against Rochdale) - How did they get away with that? Never mind just now.

Here are my 'umble predictions:

Sheffield Eagles-Batley Bulldogs 3 1
Crusaders Rugby League-Workington Town 1 3
Dewsbury Rams-Barrow Raiders 3 0
Keighley Cougars RLFC-Doncaster RLFC 1 3
Rochdale Hornets-Leigh Centurions 0 3
Swinton Lions-Halifax R.L.F.C 0 3
Whitehaven-Rochdale Hornets 3 0

Batley Bulldogs-Leigh Centurions 0 3
Doncaster RLFC-Sheffield Eagles 3 0
Featherstone Rovers-Barrow Raiders 3 0
Halifax R.L.F.C.-Dewsbury Rams 3 1
Rochdale Hornets-Crusaders Rugby League 1 3
Swinton Lions-Keighley Cougars RLFC 1 3
Workington Town-Whitehaven 3 1

Sheffield Eagles-Swinton Lions 3 0
Crusaders Rugby League-Halifax R.L.F.C. 1 3
Barrow Raiders-Keighley Cougars RLFC 1 3
Dewsbury Rams-Rochdale Hornets 3 1
Doncaster RLFC-Workington Town 3 1
Leigh Centurions-Featherstone Rovers 3 1
Whitehaven-Batley Bulldogs 3 1

Batley Bulldogs-Dewsbury Rams 1 3
Sheffield Eagles-Whitehaven 1 3
Halifax R.L.F.C.-Featherstone Rovers 1 3
Keighley Cougars RLFC-Crusaders Rugby League 3 1
Rochdale Hornets-Doncaster RLFC 1 3
Swinton Lions-Leigh Centurions 0 3
Workington Town-Barrow Raiders 3 0

Batley Bulldogs-Swinton Lion 3 0
Barrow Raiders-Crusaders Rugby League 1 3
Dewsbury Rams-Keighley Cougars RLFC 3 1
Doncaster RLFC-Halifax R.L.F.C. 3 1
Featherstone Rovers-Sheffield Eagles 3 0
Leigh Centurions-Workington Town 3 1
Whitehaven-Rochdale Hornets 3 1

Crusaders Rugby League-Leigh Centurions 0 3
Doncaster RLFC-Batley Bulldogs 3 1
Halifax R.L.F.C.-Barrow Raiders 3 0
Keighley Cougars RLFC-Featherstone Rovers 1 3
Rochdale Hornets-Sheffield Eagles 1 3
Swinton Lions-Whitehaven 0 3
Workington Town-Dewsbury Rams 3 1

Which leaves the final positions as:

5th Dewsbuury with 52
6th Workington with 49
7th Whitehaven with 49
8th Sheffield with 48
9th Cougars with 44
10th Batley with 42

We might just make it. Let's hope so.

Absolutely right there, what worries me is we have supposedly three of the easier teams to play! Its one or two of those games which I can see us ballsing up. We beat Rochdale convincingly, the week after they beat Fev. The leagues gone mad.

Good luck for the season, lets hope were both in it come next year.

Interesting about Batley 666, looking at your predictions thy might be getting worried...

I was born and brought up in Lancashire till I left many moons ago and discovered Cougar Land. There are a lot of people like Charlie in Lancashire. Its why I left.

What type of People is that CT ?Folk who speak their mind

I don't pander to anyone , never have , I would like to say this though .THIS THOUGH .Charlie knows

.

All I was saying was my predictions for the 5 relegated teams

just because I predict the Cougars in my 5 , it has upset folk , what about the predictions of others on this Forum , and you haven't half give the Dulls as you can them , some stick .

As we have seen this season. Anyone can beat anyone.
I get the feeling its going right down to the last game.

Wonder if Mr Royston could go see if Wigan would let Cougars have Joel Tomkins on 6 weeks loan under his supervision?

That would be rather nice lol ,

You reading this Gary Fawcette ?

We seem to have a decent relationship with Warrington, haven't they got someone who would fit our needs, for a few weeks? Team like that must have some decent youngsters, who could do with a run out at a decent level?

We have a roster of players that are capable of doing the job, unfortunately we've had injuries that have cost us dear.

To my mind, Handforth and Jones developed an understanding and have been the best half back partnership we've seen down here for a good few years. Coupled with injuries to Buster, Shickell, Sheriffe, and others plus the suspension to March we've been found wanting.

Getting fit bodies back on the park and "getting our heads right" would give us a fighting chance.

As for a DR player, or a loan player, we've already seen this year with sides we've played against, that some are a big success whilst others are a waste of space and a detriment to team performance.

Thing is it's now do or die, and it pains me to say, we have to be amongst the favourites for the drop.

An urgent return to winning form is needed by whatever means.

Agreed - we must stay in this division.
Relegatiin would mean disaster.
