Champions Elect? : Sat Jul 18, 2009 8:16 pm  

Stunning effort from the boys sees Fax 4 points clear of Barra with a game in hand and five clear of Widnes also with a game in hand

Reckon we would have to lose at least three of our last seven not to finish top now

Ladies & Gents I give you........HALIFAX RLFC. Champions elect

It is a cliche but it is true - one game at a time.

Let's not set ourselves up for a fall.

Quite.

Some people never learn......

Games remaining:

Fev at home - tough cookie but should win
Widnes away - revenge will be sweet, will win
Leigh away - should trounce them
Whitehaven at home - should win
Sheffield away - trickiest of the lot IMO but we owe them one
Batley away - the gallent youths have sweated blood sice Rhino took charge but end of honeymoon, should win
Toulouse at home - easy win

So would be disappointing if we slip up now. Got to keep the momentum going into the play offs.

Looking good for the top spot , but as you well know it is knock out rugby then - which is when the real prizes are awarded.

We re top but each team will want to beat us. We need to be mentally strong and not get complacent. The goal sould be to win ALL the games left. I am sure MC and the boys know that we have done nothing yet and wan to keep in top form

Sorry Starbug, I don't think it's possible for us to drop enough points to join you in Div 1 next year. LOL

Although its nice to have and almost guarantees a berth in the Grand Final the league winners trophy is worth nothing if you fail to perform on the day.

I expect you to finish top with ease now although i get the feeling Widnes are going to come on strong in the playoffs.
