| I know theres been a bank holiday but come on,get a grip,The 1st match thread ive started all season,sick of waiting so here goes,
always shocks on the last day,York need a win to stay up or probably dont as the RFL will probably change the rules on relegation after the season has finished (Morons )Anyway this is going to be harder than it looks on paper but im sure we'll win by at least 10 points,A try fest in the sun to end the league programme Eagles 42 York 32.
Defences on top.

| Sorry EB.
I think it'll be a try fest for some strange reason too.
Eagles 46-30 Knights.

Announced already - two tens if Crusaders apply by Friday (two up, two down, as per usual) or a tenananine if they don't (two up, one down)
Have a word with ESO snr if you're not happy about it.
I predict we'll win by eight and Widnes will lose by one.

| I'd prefer York to be the surviving team, much nicer place to visit than Leeds or Dewsbury.
Regarding the Crusaders, why don't they start from NL2 so two promoted and only one relegated.

I agree, great to have clubs in Wales but this one just seems to get away with everything.
on the other hand the SW club just seem to be getting on with things without any fuss and they haven't finished bottom.

Look at the Skolars, theyve been in NL2 for years and have tried very hard to build up. Theyre still near the bottom but they arent complaining, theyre just getting on with it. We had to start from the bottom after we left $uper League, Crusaders should have to as well.
Anyway...... The York match.
We should win the game however i feel York's determination and the fact they arent a bad side may get them a failure point and see them survive.

| We were a newly formed club. Crusaders have just got relegated. They should be in Div 2. Div 3 would be a terrible precedent to set. Imagine, say, Cas or Wakefield or Salford getting dumped in 2014 and having to start in Div 3. Season over for all the clubs in that division.

I didnt think there was such a thing as "relegation" any more.
If they play in NL1 in 2012 (which is a near certainty) then they shouldnt be exempt from relegation or get any other benefits.

I thought he had a great game at Barrow. Made a nice change for a ref to get just about everything wrong in our favour.
From what i know he's a young ref and learning all the time. We need more junior refs coming through.

| The Barrow players didnt agree with that! Though we did point out to them that he was biased as he had their team in his surname.

So in three years time, when somebody gets the Spanish Archer from $uperleague, you'd be happy for them to join Div 3 and create an interesting season by tupping everyone by 80 points a match ?
Right.
Why don't you mention it to ESO's dad?

| I'm only suggesting they start from NL2 as they've gone bust more times than Freddie Laker

| Have they ever actually been solvent. They now owe so much to the RFL they can't grumble if they get kick down to div 3 - as for beating the existing sides they havent yet signed any players for next season so they are hardly a safe bet for promotion. prehaps harris will get his boots back on!!!

| THE EQUATION:
If Widnes earn a failure point we must overturn an eight point swing to finish 4th. If Widnes lose by more than 12 we just need to win (or draw) to finish 4th. If we lose we will finish 5th, unless we don't get a failure point and Halifax can overturn a 37 point swing, in which case we would finish 6th.
For York they must better Hunslet's result to stay in the division. If they both get the same result then York must overturn a 111 point swing to preserve their Championship status.
So basically, if my maths is right, it's all to play for.
