class of 63 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Before I start I am aware this is dangerous territory but here goes........ No negative vibes in this assessment of the season we face - hopefully just realism with a touch of optimism. We have 23 games to play - so thats all teams home and away plus Oldham in the Summer Bash. I think everyone will agree there will be no easy games, home or away, and we could be on the receiving end of some heavy defeats especially considering the number of full times teams in this league. But not liking to use the word 'survival' if we are to stay up we probably need to be looking at 14pts based on last seasons Championship table (Whitehaven survived with 14 and Hunslet relegated with 10). So where are these 7 wins going to come from ??? but not wishing to upset any of our opponents. Possible home wins : Oldham Whitehaven Workington Batley Dewsbury Possible away wins: Oldham Whitehaven Workington plus throw in a shock to two and we could be okay I am sure others will have varying opinions but something to get us talking.

John T Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 You also need to add in the super 8's. That makes 30 games in total. Whitehaven survived on 20 points and Hunslet went down on 16 points. See the attached screenshot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
class of 63 Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 Thank you John T must admit forgot about that. So thats another 7 games but not knowing who we will play and how many home or away makes it even more difficult to assess so to make it easy we will need to finish in the top four Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

class of 63 Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 So unfortunately 1 of my 'possible' 7 wins gone but could so easily have been different and on that performance we could be okay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIGGY Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 JD was very upbeat after the game today. Lots of positives from a team that had not played together before. Must have been very hard to select the team but I think it was just about spot on. Probably need changes next week for Dwyer and Littler who both picked up injuries but there is a lot of talent that has not yet had a game so I too think we will be ok and roll on London and their 4G pitch next week.

class of 63 Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 Just thought I'd go back to my opening post (made before the season started)after yesterday's match and all the comments being made on Facebook. No doubt in my opinion all the comments made were constructive and where critical again imo justified, on what I think we all have to agree was a very poor performance but I'm sure we all agree on what I said in my opening post on there being no easy games this season and as has been said elsewhere we came up as probable relegation favourites and in my assessment of the wins we might need to stay up we are already 2 down (Dewsbury and Whitehaven) but that doesn't mean the fight is over and all we can do is back the team and hope. I think it's true to say that if we compete each week and don't get the wins we as true fans can accept.that and continue to back the lads - unfortunately we didn't seem to compete yesterday.

mark richardson Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 You're right Need to compete pretty quick though Pluck will only get us so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOSH1960 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Today should be a good test for both Swinton and Oldham. Both need the points with Whitehaven now on 6 points and a gap opening up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
