5th-8th is mid table mediocrity. More so this year as 1-4 were decided 8 weeks 7ago....you were playing dead rubbers and FC in freefall combined with Catalans still drunk after the cup and "bi-polar Huddrsfield below you is no real feat....ad you get the same money too.
ergo...now for another handout.
crumbs from the table....they couldn't just pick from the top 4 teams, but they really should have!
Thanks and as I've said, I don't really think we should go up and believe we may well be favourites to go up next season
We have pedigree....it's you lot that do the in-breeding
well, at least you admit it
We should never have left the Stoop, but that's a whole different discussion on a whole different board, although it's good to know that Wakefield aren't moving any time soon...if you catch my drift

Back to the topic. Will Leigh be able to field 17?
Can't see past a hiding from Fev....Fev 50+ Leigh 6

Edited Durham Giant. Try to stay on topic. Take your schoolground spats on to pms

Nope, but then there's days when I don't know where I put my keys or glasses either, or who won the Challenge Cup or SL Grand Final.

Nope, just keep an eye on what's happening at Championship level. I'm pretty sure that Sheffield won their 2 semis as big underdogs and Fev's semi final opponents in 2015 didn't do too well the following season, getting relegated; although they've currently got 2 chances to come back up.

Indeed and about time too.
This should have been permitted to prevent to "short" squads that have already occurred this season.

Apparently Fev asked for dispensation to sign players earlier in the 8s but we're refused.

Fev's final opponents that year haven't missed the top 4 since IIRC and have a chance at the big time this weekend. I remember feeling totally underwhelmed of being in that final after the fiasco of 2014.......Saturday Afternoon in Toronto is Mr Hughes shot at redemption! COYB.
