Our memory of Oldham will be part of the reason why it won't happen again. Enjoy your trip over pal, less so the return home.

My limited research reveals that you are indeed a fan of The Mount unPleasant club, so welcome to our humble abode.

I'm a lazy sod, but I take your challenge seriously, who should we be looking out for from your club?

Interested in your players, I'll be at the game so would appreciate people we should look out for, I used to hate to be patronised by the so called bigger clubs, you'll be coming over to east Yorkshire for the points.

We were often turned over there in the nineties and I have horrible memories myself.

Please indulge my laziness.

Depends on other results. In theory a team could end up in the mpg with 5 wins. Only 4 wins and there's a good chance of it happening. On the other hand, we could come third with only three wins.

28 games will be played, so 56 points will be available. Three examples of how they could be distributed are:

12-10-10-10-6-6-2-0

14-10-8-8-8-4-2-2

14-12-6-6-6-6-4-2

I've had a time travelling dream and you're almost on the money here MR. The final points and table of the middle 8s 2016 after the 7 rounds will be as follows:

14 - Hull KR, 10 - Featherstone Rovers, 10 - Batley Bulldogs, 8 - London Broncos, 6 - Leeds Rhinos, 6 - Salford Red Devils, 2 - Huddersfield Giants, 0 - Leigh Centurions

LEEDS to beat London in the MPG.

I think that could be spookily accurate.

Batley though, bet your all looking forward to that clash.

Maybe the start of the 5 year plan eh.

We're all looking forward to our day out in Hull. My picks on who to look out for are James Brown and Alex Rowe in the forwards. Ainscough on the wing and our very good fullback Scott. Rettie on the wing is also useful and our number 7 Brambani takes us around the park with a decent kicking game. Our forwards usually give us the platform and it will be interesting to see how we do. Come and say hello on Sunday we'll be the noise ones in the Colin Hutton stand

How many fans will you be bringing across

Think they were on telly twice in cup?.useful team with good pack Ainscough looks heftier but still rapid.certainly tougher than Oldham .If we go behind early a score or 2 it will be hard and crowd will be on teams back.if attitude is correct we should be ok but this time around in this comp I seem more worried than last year.webster for me doesn't have the balls to give the team a rollicking
