we need to win games against these type of teams if have aspirations for top 4/ 8.
I will get shouted down obviously but you only play each other twice before the split so we need to be betting Hull KR twice!

you don't get to get these games back once you have been beaten once by a team in the current format.

Unfortunately neither me or Mrs EW will be there.

She bought tickets for a concert for one of my favourite bands, who are playing in Valencia. We are making a long weekend of it.

I have the Rhubarb radio app on my phone, so will be tuning in.

We are both gutted, but these dates came out in August

No as ever your wrong. We need to play every game to win. Some you'll lose but who you lose them to is utterly irrelevant until of if we make the play offs.

There is no such thing as a must win game except for finals and relegation deciders. A win would be nice but to give it the importance you have is OTT

They are all the same but momentum counts with team sports and winning your first game can give you a lift.

No good of course if you lose the rest so as Vasty says they are all just wins and losses (and draws of course)
I don't care which names are in the Win column as long as there a lot.

My target is the same as last year. Be challenging in every game. Win enough to make the 8 as early as we can so that we can be confident for the run in and the playoffs.

A first day win is nice I agree but we won our first two games in 2015 one very convincingly against HKR as it happens and that didn't do us any good so I'm not sure it always helps tbh

4 here! Cant wait - off season draaaaags

I don't remember it, in fact, I don't think SL happened that year.

Is it Deacon Blue by any chance?

Yes Shifty, it is.

My favourite band, from that era between mid 80s and 90s.

Looking forward to it.

Shame the game not on sky

A couple I know is going as well.

Will be on Trinity TV the following evening. Not live but great value at £4 PM. And if we lose you don't need to watch it at all which is also worth £4 of anyone's money

Just a bit on the Trinity TV,agree with you Vasty, I got it for a birthday present, the best present I’ve had for ages, don’t tell her indoors though.

I thought with you knowing about it Shifty, thought you were going to Valencia too.

Yes, might sort that before we go, as we don't have it yet.

Was talking about getting signed up before the new season starts.

The gig is Saturday, but flight from Manchester is Friday.

In the meantime will follow on Twitter/Rhubarb on the day
