AFTER THIS WEEKEND 'IF' AND I KNOW THAT IS A BIG 'IF' WE BEAT SHEFFIELD, THE LEAGUE TABLE COULD LOOK ALOT TIGHTER,

BATLEY SHOULD BEAT YORK AT HOME,

YOU WOULD THINK BARROW WOULD WIN AT HOME TO DEWSBURY,

AND NO-ONE WOULD BET AGAINST LEIGH SMASHING HUNSLET.

ALL REALISTIC, AND IT STARTS TO LOOK ALOT BETTER.......NOBLE FOR PRIME MINISTER!

WE WILL GET IN THE PLAYOFFS, AND LOOSE IN A SEMI(OR MAYBE NOT! )

WE NEED TO GET BEHIND THE TEAM AGAINST SHEFF LIKE WE DID Vs BULLS.

You guys only need a couple of wins and you're right back in the mixer with us stallions.

This reminds me of that famous saying - Horses for courses.

Re: REALISTIC VIEWS : Tue May 17, 2011 3:49 pm  

just looked at the last 2 seasons top 6. in both years no team has been in the top six loosing more than 9 games. in 2009 Featherstone took 6th spot on 37 points and in 2010 Sheffield took 6th spot with 35 points.
with only 36 points available for us and we still have to go to Barrow, Leigh and Widnes i fear we might just miss out on the playoffs this year

A trip to Blackpool and not getting relegated would suit me..

Re: REALISTIC VIEWS : Tue May 17, 2011 4:11 pm  

Might sound drastic but with Toulouse exempt from relegation I think its relegation we have to worry about as 2 go down and not hitting the play-offs, so if Toulouse finish bottom its the next 2 above. 7 game loss from 8 is relegation form and 1 of those losses is against Toulouse away which should have been a certain 3 points 99% of the time. We need 4 points from the next 2 games to ease the pressure, lose our next 2 games and we are in a dogfight.

HEAR HEAR!

A LONG WAY TO GO THOUGH, I JUST THOUGHT I'D HIGHLIGHT THAT THIS SEASON IS FAR FROM OVER!

WE PROVED WE COULD COMPETE WITH FEV AT THE WEEKED, A FEW 50-50'S AND A BOUNCE OF THE BALL AND WE WOULD HAVE WON, NO REASON TO FEAR THEM IN SEMI FOR ME.

POSSITIVITY GOES A LONG WAY. WE HAVE SEEN MANAGERS COME IN AND TURN THINGS ON THEIR HEADS. WHY NOT NOW?!

I agree we can salvage something from this season all we need is some confidence and a bit of luck lets not forget that we went to Featherstone 1 of the hardest places to go in our league with injuries and players playing out of position and if we had been a bit smarter and had a bit more luck we would have won the game. I really now think we have a chance in the Northern Rail cup semi final and if we pull out a win in that we will find our selves in another final. I feel Noble will make us better week by week. Bring on the Eagles and the rest of the season. UP THE FAX

I think we should (to quote the old cliche ) concentrate on one game at a time.

4 points? You happy with one win and bonus. I would prefer 6 points to ease the pain a little, however as one of those two is leigh I suppose 4 points would be more realistic.

That may depend on if they is a crisis at Leigh?
