Thought for the day : Wed Jun 17, 2009 9:20 am  

just been thinking about the big game on Sunday, then it suddenly hit me for us to win the grand final, it is a strong possibilty we might have to play widnes 5 times in total this season. we've already beaten them twice, but to play them another 3 times without loosing one would a massive achievement. can't remember another season when we've had to play against a team 5 times in a season before.
Let's get more good news about re signings out of the club to maintain our momentum, and go the rest of the season unbeaten!

it would be a massive achievement to beat them 5 times but i beleive we are quite caperble of doing this it also helps that 3 of those 5 games have or will have been on home soil that also helps.

We may even play them 6 times depending on how the table ends up.

Game 1 - League @ Home
Game 2 - CC Round 4
Game 3 - NRC Semi Final
Game 4 - League @ Widnes

Potential Game 5 - Play off Qualifier (the 1st vs 2nd Game)
Potential Game 6 - Grand Final

Oh, and we played Haven 5 times in 2007, 3 Losses at the Recre and 2 Wins at home

good point brew lets just hope it's only 5 times mate and the 5th game will be the grand final

Thought they beat us 4 times? ANd we beat them when it mattered in the play-offs . . .

Pretty much the same logic applies to Barrow as well, doesn't it?

Yes, could potentially play them 6 times as well. Had we drawn them in the challenge cup that would have been 7.

maybe it's just me but i'm more worried about Widnes than Barrow. looks like things could be clicking with them, with all the loan signings, they got to click soon, let's just hope it's not on sunday
