Official Match Thread - Dewsbury Away : Wed Aug 29, 2012 9:46 am  

Need a win to try and get 4th, anyone off to this one?

Going for Dewsbury 16 Eagles 40

I'll be there.

Here are the basic permutations, assuming both us and Leigh win (which we should).

Leigh will finish 2nd.

If Batley beat Halifax, Batley will finish 3rd, Fax 4th and us 5th, meaning we'll be travelling to The Shay in the first round of the playoffs.

If Halifax beat Batley, Fax will finish 3rd, us 4th and Batley 5th, meaning we'll host Batley in the first round of the playoffs.

If it's a draw we'll travel to Batley.

I'm hoping for a Fax win.

Rams 16-32 Eagles.

Att: 843
MoM: Q

I'm not scared of Fax. I don't mind who wins.

And - yes - I think we can win it from fifth, if that's where we finish.

I didn't say I was scared, nor that I don't think we can beat them, I'd rather have a home tie than an away one though, against a team we've beaten twice this season rather than one we've lost to three times.

Hmmm ... just like Leigh last year.

Not really, we played Leigh in the penultimate game of the playoffs last year, not the first round.

Ah - we can beat anybody given a 50/50 deal with the refereeing.

5th place would be ideal financially.

Gaining enough finance to be able to continue is the only thing that this league is about,You can't go up,You win a trophy,The end,The way it is with no promotion makes the whole league pretty pointless IMO,Especially with the rubbish coming up next year,add to that Hunslet,Swinton and York,It is very predictable year on year,Crowds will not increase but deteriate all across the league if the current structure carries on.

Rams 24 Eagles 34

Not if we don't win the game. More likely to beat Batley at home than Halifax away - fact.
