Could they beat them in one-off playoff match? Of course they could. Would they be allowed into SL? That's a great question, and only Lenaghan and McManus know that right now. It would be kinda funny if Featherstone got promoted and Leeds got relegated. Would Featherstone start dual reg and send their surplus players to Leeds next season? When we played them at ours a few games go we were beating them by a point with only 6 minutes of the game left. We had to play an 18 year winger who had only ever played for the first team once before due to our first choice winger being injured. He bombed 3 clearcut chances. Had our first choice being fit he'd have taken at least 2 of the chances. We controlled the game and played better them on the day and were unlucky. They certainly are not a cut above them on the evidence of that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at their last 6 games - 4 of which were York twice, Widnes and Bradford: - Games 6 - Wins 6 - Points scored 226 (38 average) - Points conceded 58 (10 average) Small point of order - they only played York once in those 6 games.

Yes, our 6 match run consists of Barrow, Rochdale and Sheffield away, Widnes and Bradford at home and York at the Bash. Barrow and Sheffield away are always tricky games, Bradford and Widnes had both beaten us twice this season at their places and the Bash was our first ever win there. All in all a pretty decent run considering where we were 4 months ago, but as others have said, there is still a way to go this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't really matter though, does it? Get to the Championship Grand Final and it all comes down to who is best on that particular day (as London proved). You don't have to be better over the season, just be better on that one day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And given that we were 6 minutes from beating them a few games ago this shows we certainly are capable of beating them in a one off game as you rightly say. For the record, we were the only team to best them away last year too. Different squads I know but won't hard our belief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carry on At the time of playing them 3 of the teams were above us and 1 would have been if not for a 12 point penalty. Ask any Halifax supporter how easy it is to play at Barrow.

Tex Evans Thigh Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 They are certainly playing well and have a very good squad. The dual reg is working well as we are covering a couple of positions with the same players each week who are unlikely to be called back to Leeds, making them more like full loan signings. Injuries permitting, I'm cautiously optimistic that we could get to the final where anything can happen. I have a feeling Toulouse will implode a little as we get to the business end but Leigh will be up there. I would guess that it will be either Leigh or Fev v Toronto in the final but I think Toronto will do it this time. McDermott is kind of the anti-Rowley in terms of getting teams up for play-offs so I'd expect him to have them ready even though I don't think they are so much better than the chasing pack. Key for Featherstone finishing second is keeping Tom Holmes on loan and avoiding injuries to Holmes, Chisholm and King. If they do that then I would back us to finish second if we can beat Toulouse and Leigh at home. Formerly Alistair Boyd-Meaney fifty thousand Poouunds from Keighley...weve had im gid."

When Elstone announced that a club would be promoted this season, he was interrupted by Lenaghan (or was it McManus?) who said 'If they fulfil the conditions...' Now, of course, he didn't say what those conditions were, and so far as I am aware he hasn't since. I'm guessing that those conditions will be made up when we know who comes bottom of SL and who wins the Championship Grand Final. Not that I'm being cynical, of course...
