Do we need to finish top 6? I cant bring myself to read the rules again.

Ive still got a 'On our day if were playing well......' attitude. Looking as though Bulls are going down, not guaranteed but they need a miracle (or last minute rfl structure change) to save them from the drop. So next year again i suspect a challenging year of trying to win the playoffs.

Champ 1 is a tougher league then may appear on paper!

Top 5 for play-offs I think, but I'd be happy with 8th the way things are going right now.

Better crowd today should have swelled the coffers. Need to back the coach and allow him to bring in a couple of BIG forwards with some presence to support Rawlins & Nicholson etc

Mate, no point talking in riddles. Let us know exactly what you think those in charge of the club need to do to make it more successful. Would help to have your suggestions. Thanks.

Crowd was 927 yesterday our biggest home crowd v York since 2012

Last years attendances v York were 631 and 658

Last years average was 593, this season average currently 753.

Is the behind the scenes work generating the increase in attendance or is there some other reason??

927? I hadn't heard that, although it did look like a decent crowd. Pity the team couldn't put in a top performance to keep all those extra people coming down. That's really some considerable difference from one week to the next - wasn't the London attendance somewhere around 500? I wouldn't know whether behind the scenes work is helping to improve attendances or not but if we don't make the top eight there is a serious danger that the terraces will be empty during the latter part of the season. I really hope that doesn't happen but the lads are going to have to wise up and play smarter ASAP.

I think unfortunately that was a must win game. We have Whitehaven (currently playing well) and workington away. Cant see us picking up anything there with our current defence.

We have Oxford at home last game before the super 8s on 16th July. Likely a win at home but could come down to points difference. Id say realistically we need a win at Workington otherwise we are in the bottom 8s shield.

Just looked at the fixtures i can see each team around us getting 2 wins from remaining fixtures. This means i think we need 2 wins almost certainly and not to allow any big points in.

I cant see it as it stands, Tonks will be banned now for 2 to 3 games aswell I reckon. Get Ryder in at second row
