Pretty much what i said then. They try their best hence wanting to win every game, finishing higher in the league comes with that but like most sportsmen losing hurts like it did for them against Fev. They still know that for them the grand final is the main prize though.

Well again I don't agree , how can getting to or winning the GF ,be more important to a player than finishing second ?If the said player had any Ambition or Faith in his own ability , he would strive to finish second thereby be offered a Fulltime or at least a much improved offer from Fax next season .But by finishing third he would get a much smaller contract next year because of the Leagues Funding money being much less for 3rd than second .

Then if the players have any nous , they would then be able to try to get the GF later in this game you get nowt for a pair , but plenty for finishing second .Charlie knows .

As for predictions , I WILL be at Donny on Sunday cheering you Faxers on and am going for a narrow Fax win with a score of Donny 18 v Fax 24 , though im also predicting a Fev win by Fev 36 v Seagulls 16 , so it will be down to the last game .

2nd place will be settled one way or the other on Sunday.

Having been re-enthused recently I have no interest in this game and will adopt the same lame, poor attitude the team did versus Fev. I can't see past a Donny victory and won't bother going to this game, choosing instead to spend time with my kids.....

Well now that they have their points back they are only one point behind us, which makes it an important game. http://www.totalrl.com/batley-bulldogs- ... einstated/ Perhaps we'll bottle this as well?

If a player has the ability it really wont matter where they finish in the league as they will get snapped up by a better team anyway but playing in finals is a once in a lifetime opportunity, one that a lot of very good players never get the chance to do.

The other stuff I can see your point but I doubt Fax will be offering reduced contracts to most players they keep if like they say they did budget for 3rd place. I also highly doubt the club ever had any plans to go full time if they finished second instead I would imagine the extra funding would be used to pay off debts.

No disrespect Chris but, if you don't want to go don't, why tell us.
After all, many will go without the need to post it.

If I get 6 numbers on the euro millions guess who wins the lottery?

Its obviously possible but the chances are somewhere between very slim and none.
