So if we can manage a win next week and secure the third spot its likely to be Oldham at Home, then Hunslet away and then hopefully a home final, which wouldn't be to bad having 2 home games.

That's about the size of it, Steve...

If we beat Dewsbury next Sunday and Hunslet lose at Workington, we need to overcome the present 60 points of points difference that are against us to finish second. Not likely, I know...

If we beat Dewsbury, we're assured of third.

If we lose to Dewsbury and Oldham win their last two games at home to Workington on Wednesday and at home to Midland next Sunday, we will finish fourth behind Oldham.

Team 2 gets a bye in the first round of play-offs. Team 3 is at home to Team 4 with the winner away to team 2 the following week. The winner of that match is at home in the play-off final.

Thought Corion was unlucky not to get the MOM

He's certainly got some pace when he's given room. It felt as though Tom and Travis were playing for one place next week should Faraimo be available.

I think that's probably true, after the last couple of weeks I'd go with Travis. But I wouldn't be dissapointed either way. I'd imagine we're going to partner Fonua with Faraimo so that would imply Travis steps back, unless they're also going to switch his side

Yeah it's come to that time where we have to go with the strongest available and faraimo and fonua make us better, it makes you think how either Tom or Travis will feel about it if those 2 bugger off at the end of season but to be successful you have to be ruthless.

No time for sentiment going in to the play offs ,if we are going to get promoted then we need to run with our best available 17.

I thought Travis was very good yesterday along with quite a few others ,notably Knowles and Vete who both had their best games for the club.
James and Foster gave us impact from the bench along with Boas who looked to be getting back to his best.

Injuries permitting I think Faraimo ( if available) comes in for Travis but the rest of the squad will be as Sunday.
