I think that the 6 Winners will STILL be the top 6 at the end of the regular season and it's up to the current 4-6 to catch London and Leigh...Bash weekend is going to be a key round in the shake up

I think our Sheffield game tonight has fallen nicely, for me personally anyway, I can listen to the game tonight and enjoy the Magic Weekend without distraction.

 

Plus, an extra two days rest for the players for the game against the mighty Leigh at the Bash will also be welcome.

I look at it as more time to implement the new Coaches systems and tighten up on that shaky defence!

  I am hoping your shaky defence is tested for 80 minutes,and our conversions are converted with a higher ratio than they have been thus far.

     No reserves,but resilience,persistence and determination are omnipotent.

Hard to say what version of our team will turn up.  If it's the one from last week then you're in for a long night, if it's the utter shambolic one of a month ago then we'll be the ones in for a long night.  I see that you've done some leadership shuffling, so that's bound to have some sort of effect either way.  For us we've got Mitch Clarke and Dale Ferguson coming back in although Kavanagh misses.

 

I suspect that we'll play pretty well but some things might look a bit clunky as we're effectively on match one of implementing different systems.

Forever in our shadow, forever on your mind.

Although I still think Leigh will sneak it I have a soft spot for Swinton and I think they have the back line of a top 6 team but lack the middle unit.

Hope I'm right Leigh by 14 but good luck both teams, Duffs has his lads giving it a right dig.

I have just read on sky sports the Batley squad should feature Frankie Mariano, and that 12 out of the 20 play in France for Catalns Dragons. Must be a huge mistake by Sky somewhere.

Mariano is in their squad tomorrow along with Minikin on DR from Cas.

I’m not prejudiced, I hate everybody equally

Is Fev hammering Dewsbury away a great thing or expected?

Both. ;)

If Fev can play like that every week no one will beat them.  Their defence was awesome last week v London and again this week v Dews.  Nillings are a rarity in RL.

Wonderful. 

 

Million pound game v. Leeds at Elland Road. Scofield with his pit legs ruining it for everyone.

I can see London finishing as the strongest side in the championship this season,unlike leigh,there have been no off the field dramatics and they have quietly gone about their business.Good solid result for us at Swinton today but I don't think we are having the season a lot of the so called experts led us to believe we would have

Josh Barlow is a complete lunatic. Must run in the family.

 

Sent off for joining in a brawl despite being on the bench. Piled in with his subs bib still on.

 

I had never heard of the ref at Leigh v Swinton today but he was so far out of his depth. The second half was a farce, 3 reds (one to Barlow on the bench) and 4 yellows and it could/should have been more.

 

Ref had no grip on the match whatsoever, and needs to be dropped down several levels.

Their 24 fans (yes I counted them) didn't have much to shout about at Fev last week.
