Yes another tough game as others have said, in addition they are still too close to the bottom end not to give it a real go.

Having said that how scary it becomes will be down to us, if Fax have the right heads on the scoreboard should take care of it's self with a home win.

If not it will be a lot closer with either side taking it.

RM will have us ready so Fax by 16.

We could do with amassing as much points as possible against Batley & Doncaster as it's likely going to come down to points difference.

Touch wood we should be ok. You cant see Sheffield improving their points difference too much with their run in and with them and Fev to play each other and also one of Bradford and Leigh each just winning those 2 games should be enough. Just as a measure of how good our defence has been this season that despite losing 5 more games than Bradford we have only conceded 40 points more than them. Ive been saying for quite a bit of the season that I think we are comfortably the 3rd best team in the division, we just need to prove it in our remaining games.

I think we became the 3rd best team in this league at Dewsbury,you couldn't really say we were before.The way this team are playing now though the top 2 should be worrying.

Think we're getting a bit ahead of ourselves on the points difference ambitions. I suspect Sunday will be tighter than we think - I'm plumping for a 26-12 win. We should worry about the result, not the score and not get complacent - that's what could trip us up right now.

I just get the feeling that RM wont allow the players to be complacent.

Worth reminding ourselves that, for teams who don't make the four, the season is far from over as they'll be carrying their points on to 30 games, not starting again on zero next month.

Exactly how is foul language graded ? Is Grade C worse than grade F ? The mind boggles.......
