Cant see us not qualifing with what Ive seen so far.
We certainly look a "close" team which IMHO counts a great deal.

you'll p1zz it!!
On last nights performance you could win it!

I think we will pick up at least 4 points from Swinton and Haven.

8 will be enough irrespective.

The bonus point in this competition and the league, is fair IMHO.

Leigh deserved a point after last weeks performance.

Lets just get the 3 points v Swinton. Hopefully, resting one or two injured players may result in starting the league campaign on a clean bill of health.

I maintain that 8 points will NOT be enough. It is not a true league as everyone doesn't play everyone else. York for example could feasibly end on 4 wins from 4. They already have 6 points and still have London to play and Batley. On form they would also beat Batley. I still think that 4th and 5th place could finish on 9 points with one obviously not qualifying.

I'll bet you 5p, that 8 points will be enough in one of the groups !!!

Not looked at the other pool so am not willing to risk 5p....will have to do the maths later. Actually I wish I had 5p

And how would they decide if 2 teams finished on the same points, points difference would seem a little unfair (although could well be to our advantage)

Its in our own hands what more can you ask for,we beat Swinton & Haven we go through,if we don't win we don't deserve to progress.
