Workington

[AB Knight]

Hopefully see Spears and Ellis back to add some experience. I think York will need to play smart, we've become used to fast free flowing rugby with lots of risks which is a joy to watch, but this is one the team need to be prepared to grind out if necessary. Looking at Workingtons results, they score a few but concede a lot as well.

I'm backing a close York win, meaning Newcastle need to win by 20 ish points and Doncaster by 70 ish points, not impossible for either team mind you but you have to fancy York in this final regular round. Really hope to see a big crowd down at BC.

Can anyone confirm if York will definitely play Toronto at home if they do finish 4th? I heard it from a supporter and just took it as fact!

4th placed team will play;

1st, 5th, 7th & 8th @ home and will travel to 2nd, 3rd & 6th.

5th placed team will play;

3rd, 6th & 7th @ home and will travel to 1st, 2nd, 4th & 8th.

6th placed team will play;

1st, 4th & 8th @home and will travel to 2nd, 3rd, 5th & 7th.

So fourth really is important to us.

As said lets have a big attendance ,I think we will edge this one and pray hunslet can tackle on Sunday.

[spanishknight]

4th place is the best for us, a trip to Barrow, Whitehaven and maybe Keighley, but Toronto at home, yes.

I can't go this Sunday, so can someone take a friend or three to make up for my absence please.

Thanks.

.....and Thunder at home assuming they get 5th , Hunslet still have a chance of making the 8's ( Keighley have 4 sent off against Oxford ) so am expecting/hoping for a close game.

davet , could you tell us where you got the 8's fixture format. Not doubting you but seen a different format elsewhere .

Understand Toronto are playing their 3 away games first to give clubs time to organise travel etc;

[weighman]

So which is right ?

6th home home or away to Toronto ?

those are not the order of the games it's in numerical order.

[weighman]

All I am asking is does the 6th place club play Toronto at home or away , not asking about the order !

[spanishknight]

[weighman]

[georgeb1]

All the Knights games from now on will be hard, theres not a poor team in the 8.

[davet]

It took a while to find it but in the end I had to google search the 2016 format.

[weighman]

Will have to wait until the official fixtures are out then , still praying for 4th .

Wherever we finish the season It is going to difficult to win promotion as we are to many points behind the top 3 teams.

[spanishknight]

All we have to do is win every game, easy, only joking about it being easy by the way, don't want to upset any fans.

Top five is all that matters after super eights,then it's knockout format after that to decide the final promotion place Paul.

[Nearenough]

Irrespective of whether we are 4th or 5th starting the next round of fixtures I think we will finish on 28 points if we hold our form, and finish 4th or 5th ........we'd then have to win away in Cumbria twice in the play offs to go up I guess
