Another hugely important game.

Abdull and/or Quinlan to come back?

How good has Kavanagh been lately? Really quite, IMO.

Every game is important some more so then others the one thing about this game is win and we are 1 win or draw from going up I HOPE

Rovers need to rock up with the same attitude they took to Leigh. That siege mentality will be dull but will see them home in the long run. 1 point or 40 points the margin is irrelevant as long as we win. Nervous afternoon in store for us again.

Was lucky to get the draw there earlier in season.Tough team and place to go,but the change of coach doesn't seem to have worked out so far?Leigh play Widnes and Fax home to Cats I believe?could be a very good weekend for us if results go as hoped.Very interested in the Widnes game as so far their form is hard to judge from 2 wins v fax n fev.First thing is we need the 2 points and a boost to the points difference if possible

I wouldn't say points margin are irrelevant just yet. In fact they could prove to be extremely relevant at this stage.

If it comes down to PD then I think we'd lose out now. I'd take a 1 point win at fev now if offered it.

We've just got to keep winning and forget about points difference as that ships already sailed

We need to win 5 out of 7 doesn't matter who against. Doesn't matter how, doesn't matter by how many.

Beating Fev is important but beating Widnes/Catalans and losing to Fev would be better than beating Fev and losing to Widnes/Catalans.

As for points difference we were 2nd best in points difference last year in the middle 8's only Leeds were better. Reward nil. Leigh went up with all the accolades not a single mention of their negligible points difference.

This year if we'd hammered Halifax and lost out to Leigh we'd have a great points difference...and be in a massively worse situation.

3/3 is good....very good. We just need another 2 wins anywhere anyhow. One of those will hopefully come at Fev but it doesn't we'll just have to get the remaining 2 wins somewhere else.

I'm expecting a real battle at Fev.....they are in the last chance saloon now and see us as a good chance. I think we'll shade it if so our points differnce will remain small but the task reduces to 1 win out of 4. Win any of the first 3 and we will not be required to play the 4th.

fev are the worst team in the middle 8's. rovers by 20

I told you that you'd go up without the mpg and I'll stick by that

Fev are dangerous and always up tgeir game against us. However, since changing coach, their form has definately dipped.

This will be close again, but we must win at all costs. Better to go ibto final 3 games against current SL teams only needing 1 or 2 wins than 2 or 3.
