Re: Would you....

Finishing 3rd is preferable to finishing 5th. Finish 3rd and lose away to Wigan? Get a home game against whoever wins out of 4th v 5th. Finish 5th? Play away to 4th, then have to play loser of 2nd v 3rd away. I'd rather guarantee either at least one home playoff game OR only 2 games to the grand fi...

Standard Wigan tactics. Look out for Flower with some dirty late hits on him off kicks. No penalties given of course.

Re: Play offs format

If you do a google image search for super league playoff format it comes up with a graphic showing the format. The absolute simplest way i can think of explaining it is: Every week one team is knocked out until 2 teams are left. Top team gets a bye week. Top 3 get 2 bites of the cherry. More complex...

Re: Hull fc game.

In 1996 British Rugby League sold itself to Sky. Now here we are, 23 years later. The fact is that as long as Sky are the largest contributors to each teams coffers, there will never be a consistency of fixtures allowing fans to attend the game. Which is perfectly okay for Sky because as far as they...

Re: Seven into five....

I admire the optimism, but if Old Trafford this year was ever on the cards I think the team wouldn't have limped to defeats against Hull KR, Leeds(Twice... Two. Bloody. Times.) and Huddersfield. There are some positives to take - we've beaten every team except Saints, and with only a couple of excep...

Re: St Helens vs Cas (now on Sky)

I can’t do that. My daughter’s married to a Saints fan and I sit in the middle of them at away matches in my Cas shirt being patronised about how we’ve given them a ‘good game ‘ We’ve just got to win! There's always the 2017 Semi Final at home to shut them up. At least until they win it all this ye...

Re: Huddersfield Away

We have a loyal core fanbase but I'd question the wider town support who only seem to come out for big games every season. your still not accepting the stupid kickoff time could be part of the problem? School holidays? Evening time? Weekend? Leeds Utd played at lunch time so no clashes with footbal...

Re: Seven into five....

Losing to Hull KR killed our top 5 bid in my opinion. I think we're getting, at most, 4 points from our last 4 games. I think Wigan and Saints away are certain defeats. I reckon Winner of Wigan v Wire to finish 2nd, loser to finish 4th behind Hull. I think Hull FC to win 3 or 4 of their remaining 5,...

Re: different rules ?

I don't think it's been brushed under the carpet at all. The RFL are in the process of a full review of the events in the crowd at Perpingnon. Both clubs could get a massive fine and even a points deduction. We will see. The beauty of announcing a "full review" of something is that you ca...

Re: End of season run in

I think Saints and Wigan away are almost certain defeats and Hull at home is 50/50. Everything else we should win. Salford and Wigan could and possibly should win out (dropping points against Warrington if at all), but I think Hull FC could slip back, Wigan, Salford, Saints and Cas makes their run i...

Re: Definitely questions to be asked !

Sugar tax having its intended effect. I think KFC have also stopped selling full fat drinks now, but on the plus side they have Cherry Pepsi Max which is my favourite.

The ground ought to do the same - if people can't have full fat options then give them choices.

Re: Ollie Holmes

I remember seeing a Sky Sports show following Warrington a few years ago which included a decent bit on their recovery after games and training sessions, they were utilising some fairly advanced methods including renting a mobile cryo-chamber.

It's only his love of the club which has stopped him and others revealing a hell of a lot how some have been treated under the new regime. Interesting that his great love for the club didn’t prevent him from jumping ship to Bradford when we got relegated. Next to no one in the world would turn down...

Re: Wigan on Saturday

We absolutely lost because of injuries and to think otherwise is shocking If you look at some of the poor decisions made in games we have lost they have been by Milner, Massey, McShane and Minikin. All of would play in a fully fit side. Other players being injured doesn’t make good players make bad...

Is difficult to gain players from ru because of their wages. Average championship players at carnegie are in 70k I've been told. Your point is correct about RU players being too expensive for our blood - proper good full time RU players certainly, but you have been told wrong about Carnegie. £70k i...
