IMO we should be really targeting the Salford game as one where we need to treat it as a must win. Were unlikely to win at Headingley twice in one season so win the games against the championship clubs and Salford away and we should be ok. The result of the Huddersfield home game could be irrelevant by the time it comes around.

Sad as it sounds and ignoring club names, Salford are miles better than us at the moment. The away game there is the toughest game we will have in this comp and I'd be astounded if we get anything there.

A lot depends on where the players heads are with next year and koucash etc. They played well against us but some may be on the way out . Still think you will be OK but could be a bit tighter this year. Fancy Leigh to go up and maybe guess or Salford to go down

I have to agree with you here Barham. Salford are the best team in this 8 and have added another couple of NRL players for the middle 8s campaign. Difficult to beat at their place too. If we manage to scrape a win there, it will be against the decidedly average Salford side minus key players like Robert Lui and Justin Carney that we beat at CP this year, but not the excellent Salford that beat us easily at the Aj Bell with Robert Lui and Dobbo pulling all the strings.

We need to be targeting a win at Headingley against a mediocre Leeds side this year on a ground where we have recorded back to back victories, albeit against different opposition. If we also win against all the Championship sides, we will avoid the need for a must win in a potential nervous decider at home to Huddersfield in the final round.

We can all relax now. Job's sorted.

Salford will be fine they are a top 8 team and tbh a decent one leeds look to have all there troops back and are turning loses into wins even when playing poorly Giants and rovers are the teams the championship clubs will have a real go at I think the giants are too strong and physical for the lower division clubs that leaves rovers with the only real threat been Leigh I would be very surprised if that is not the million pound game, who wins will depend on form and injuries, rovers should have too much but confidence is massive its going to be roller coaster for sure

Fartown are terrible at the moment, as most of their own fans will testify to. I see them as the most vulnerable. However I still expect them to tear Leigh a new one.

Can you get it twice?

I don't know ask your lass

Every time they look like they've turned the corner (magic, Warrington, us the other week) they seem to plum new depths the week after. If I had to put money on it I would say all of the SL clubs will survive. But I think Huddersfield are slightly more vulnerable than you are.

Good luck btw. I enjoy seeing you get humiliated as much as the next man, but it would be a real shame to see you go down, not least because it will be tough to get back (just ask Bradford).

Just organising Jolly Boys outing for our game [leigh] with you, will we be in the new stand and how many does it hold, with a decent start we will bring 2000 or so for a vital game

You will get 800 North Stand tickets (seats) and up to 1600 South Stand terrace. However, with it being a televised game, I think your support will be nearer 1000 than your suggested.

Let's hope for a similar score line as your last visit, 10 years ago.

Surely they won't split away support up that standing section is below sea level!! Assuming there will be plenty of tickets available for a tv game would we be allowed in the side terrace like the old days, is mi owd mucker who used to go everywhere with the 10-5 flag still about? I do realise that could only be answered by the hardcore 1300 btw

You won't get any tickets for the East Stand, although it's possible they may allow you in the Well (small terrace under the West).
