4 game season! : Sun Aug 09, 2009 9:37 pm  

plus playoffs hopefully!


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

from where we were 5 weeks ago,

we now have a 4game season!!! crazy stuff!

the team and the players we have are good enough to win every game, we all know that....they have to turn up and wanna play, we didnt do that for 70mins 2day and thats why we got beat! same for 2nd half againt fev and 75 mins at widnes!

back to basics me thinks, unfortunatly that should have happened a while ago....rugby league is a very simple game when played properly, why do we try and score off every tackle?!

Thing is if we win 3 of our last 4 looking at the table and with our points difference being better than most (Barrow apart) we 'should' finish in the top 2.
We could still finish top but we need Barrow to drop points somewhere, come on Widnes turn up on Thursday and beat them again please!

Barrow have not that easy a run in they have:-

Widnes at home.
Fev away.
Sheffield at away.
Gateshead at home.

The Gateshead game is going to be possibly a league leaders trophy decider as we play the night before against Toulouse plus it may be a relegation decider for Gateshead.
I hope we have got things sorted out by the Toulouse game, otherwise its going to be a bit of a flat end to the season for us.
On a positive note if we win our last 4 and Barrow lose one of theirs then we could be celebrating come the Toulouse match.
Get your heads together Fax the chance of some glory is still there, just go out and grab it.

i think its still firmly in our hands the points diff with borrow is only a couple of tries, if we match barrows results between now and the end of the season i think we will finish top.

Widnes beating them would certainly help us, but i do think our run-in on paper looks softer. The concern is our form unless it improves it could be disasterous. 1st/2nd is a must. Its just too difficult to make it from lower down. not only are you playing knock-out every week but there is the sky bias, meaning the 3rd place team will play sunday and then back up on the following thursday on the road.

3 wins sould get us 2nd 4 will get us 1st
