LongStand Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Seeing that Leigh Centurions have signed forward Antoni Maria from the Catalans and Salford have signed Luke Burgess/Mateo (Tongan) from Aussie outfit Manley Sea Eagles, what realistic chance have we in making any impact on the Super 8's? We've done brilliantly to get here, but it will be tragic if we're on the end of a thumping or two : ( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phildog Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Same thing happening as did last year ie Wakefield bringing in players hand over fist to protect status. This 8's lark is and always was a con. Promotion and relegation should be just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've done brilliantly to get here, but it will be tragic if we're on the end of a thumping or two : ( I don't think it will be tragic, LS, even if we do get a couple of tonkings. As long as the lads give it their best shot I don't mind a heavy defeat against stronger opposition. I'm resigned to the wooden spoon. Anything else a bonus. Onwards and upwards.

LuckyDog Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Yes, I reckon we might struggle after 8 games, but In our mini league, there's not many better scrum halves than Dom B. is there smarter forward than James Brown?? On their day, is there a quicker dummy half than James Davey? For a part time, brave, proper team, I fancy us to give some teams a proper scare.

RPH Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 We've done brilliantly to get here, but it will be tragic if we're on the end of a thumping or two : ( I'm quite resigned to getting a few thumping's, ( especially with Leeds back on form ) , but I'm sure we can give a good account of ourselves if we start off well in the competition and don't lose Heart, and with at least 200 grand in the bank above last year, what a sweetener.

fev4evatiggerneva Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 As a fev fan am not expecting anything from the 8s either. But over the moon we've got there. Great publicity for fev and Batley playing against the big guns and massive financial boost for next season, so just going to enjoy the ride, if we pick a win or 2 up on the way, it's a bonus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
