A Rochdale win by 11 or more at Gateshead today will drop us down a further place in the table ... need to get back to winning ways next weekend as Whitehaven would also overtake us should we lose and not pick up a bonus point.

Every faith in them to bounce back. Should be a good game against Haven and looking forward to it.

The table. The price paid for not scoring enough points, which equates to a lack-lustre attack ... simples. Even South Wales have as good an attack as ours. Oops! Sorry, true supporters don't point out awkward things.

An interesting set of fixtures coming up on Sunday as all the teams currently in the play-off spots are involved in games against each other;

Doncaster (5th) v Whitehaven (6th)
Rochdale (4th) v Oldham (7th)
Workington (3rd) v Keighley (2nd)

We need to remember that we are playing a side that have gained 40 points in reality before the 9 point deduction.
They are clearly the second best side in the division.

Now let's look at our record at home against top sides.
Swinton ... lost
Keighley ... lost
Rochdale ... lost
Workington ... won

Whitehaven ... ?

I am hoping for a win, but it doesn't look good.
The fact that Swinton hammered Whitehaven and nilled them is a crumb of comfort ... but each game is different as Keighley so effectively demonstrated the other week.
