The guy is a prat. How to make yourself sound like a complete idiot in the press.

Its simple Hudge. The idea of sport is to win, otherwise there is little point. Obviously too complicated an idea.

Lose next week and you'll finish 10th with away games at widnes (probably) and leigh.

salfford's hammering tonight shows how bad you must have been last week to lose to them

Couple of injuries & a bit of bad luck & the middle 8 will be very hard. It will be interesting glad we are not in them though.

the only thing i agree with hudge is it should've been 1 up 1 down!

as to say to finish in the bottom 4 is a blessing in disguise is laughable, trying to ease the pain of missing the 8 and many kr fans will believe him

as for the four games at home compared to 3 fc will have, if you get sheffield at home, you will be lucky if you get a coach load of away fans, so the income from that game wont make any difference, may even cost rovers more putting that game on! home paying fans will probably give the game a wide birth too!

Hudge must be over the moon surprised he didn't tell Chessie to play the 19s.

better tell chris chester hes still talking about top 8 chance

Going to be an interesting battle with Leigh

Looks like the Leigh game will be away so my tickets theory won't be tested. I don't expect the others to travel in any great numbers, much like most of SL this season when it comes to this end of the M62.

We'll be ok, but it's about Widnes as much as Leigh. When Brown comes back, and with the unfair pitch advantage, they could top the middle 8's if they grab 9th next weekend.

Thought we had Leigh at home if we finish 10th?

We are better than any of the middle 8 teams, providing we turn up with the right attitude, tactics and play for 80 minutes.

On the evidence of the last 22 games that doesn't happen too often. So all teams in the middle 8s will know we will fall asleep for at least 20 minutes a game, thereby giving them all a chance against us if they are good enough.

No, we would need to be 9th for that to happen. 10th will travel to Leigh.

Yes, we are far better than anyone in the middle 8. Performances at Widnes, Wakefield and Salford highlight this fact.

I can't make my mind up whether you are being ironic here or doing a tabloid hatchet job by quoting me out of context, using only half my opening statement.
