Here s a puzzle if Kr beat Bradford then Toulouse and Halifax win next 2 games do we then put a youthful side out against Halifax in the hope they get in the 4 instead of Toulouse saves us a long trip to France twice

I think we just do what we'd do if they were any other teams. We might rest a few players against Fax (although Sheens seems keener on building momentum and cohesion than on conserving energy), but trying to lose a game deliberately is a pretty dubious tactic. No more so than when I was shouting at Thomas Minns to commit a professional foul in the MPG, but the situation isn't quite that desperate.

If the reward for top is two trips to France, it will be a bit of a ffs feeling, and depending on how fixtures fall it might be worth treating a Catalans away fixture as a shot to nothing, with a bit of a different team.

We have won the league we are in.The trophy and prize money are a bonus but due to format it's devalued. Still feel one up one down is so much fairer but that is out of our hands. Us winning this league was 8/11 at start of season,looks massive price now and hope a few lads paid their mortgages off? In any sport winning your league is an achievement but only rugby league can it count for nowt. Interesting times ahead

Rovers will indeed be presented with their 2nd trophy of the season at the conclusion of the Toulouse game.

You wouldn't know. Being exiled at a young age for making the wrong choices in life.

It still hurts hence the desperate need for recognition by those who rejected you.

I wasn't so young but I think I've done OK for a lad from the east. Always good to rise above your roots
