Crikey, Agar's right, this is exciting.

7 Cas 24 points, -114 points difference
8 FC 21 points, +99 points difference
9 Rovers 20 points +15 points difference


Cas:
Wakefield A
FC H
Rovers A

FC:
Crusaders A
Cas A
Warrington H

Rovers:
Saints H
Catalans A
Cas H

As is now IMO. Cas should beat Wakey to all but seal 7th, we should beat Crusaders, and I can't see 2 wins for Rovers.

no, cas have 24 we have 23 - so assuming cas beat wakey and we beat crusaders we could effectively be playing cas for 7th spot. that would put us a point in front
fc 27
cas 26

in the meantime if rovers win either the saints or cats game they would have 24 so would be playing cas on the last day for 8th (rovers have a superior points diff). however if cas beat rovers and we lose to wire then cas finish 7th us 8th and rovers 9th. so would you settle for 8th knowing rovers would be out of the playoffs, or 7th with rovers making the 8?

of course rovers could win all 3 games and pip both us and cas to 7th

exciting stuff possibly

I think rovers will win their 2 remaining home games. Although bradford were complete gash, rovers defence looked much better after the first 10-15 minutes tonight

Do you honestly believe Sts attack will be anywhere near as bad as Bradfords tonight

Rovers had nothing to defend against.

Bradfords attack made us look like Melbourne Storm, even our 'Horne drops off to inside player' is executed to put a (very) slight doubt in the defensive line.
Bradfords drop off was about 10 mts away from it!

Rovers could have fielded a team of Grandma's and they would have kept out Bradford tonight. I wouldn't read too much into it TBH.

I think bradford's demise is great. They dished out plenty of hammerings to us and it's good to see them getting some back

To be fair to Potter, he's got one hell of a job after McManamara.

Wouldnt go that far yes Bradford are shocking but Potter took over the majority of that team, he did well at Catalans and obviously took Saints to a few finals.

Whats Agar done? we got to a final were we beat Wakefield and Bradford ( that shocking side that im on about ) to get there

Sorry but Potter is far better than Agar although he wouldnt be on my list if Agars goes
