Some big games there to go towards determining the Top 5.

Couple of key relegation battles too - bottom 4 clubs playing each other (bottom 6 in fact.)

Who knows,it's only July.The rules have been known to change.

Are you suggesting that the RFL changes it's rules part way through the season? Shame on you. The RFL haven't a clue, and it is Sky who make the rules.

all away teams win, except widnes

 

It says a lot for how interesting and competitive the Championship is this season that two such statements can be made on the same weekend without either seeming ridiculous (although I think Fabou's apparent optimism over Halifax's chance in Toronto would not be shared by many Fax fans I suspect).

Some intriguing fixtures this weekend given the context of the table, with Dewsbury Barrow probably being the pick.  It'll be interesting to see how Widnes respond from last week as well.  But sadly all games are overshadowed by the requirement for segregation at one particular fixture.  [How can that possibly happen in our game?]

From our point of view the return of Joe Keyes from injury (not played all season) two weeks ago has given us the attacking direction that we were lacking.  Add to that the return of Jy Hitchcox, also from injury, and Ethan Ryan to the wing position and we look a very dangerous side at this level.  I think we might sneak it in France provided we don't treat the trip as a jolly.

Forever in our shadow, forever on your mind.

It is going to be a very good game. If TO don't switch off like they did against Swinton then we should just shave it, we have Kheirallah back and he makes a big difference, i'm also looking forward to seeing Junior VaiVai for the 1st time.  Luckily it won't be too hot either as it's an 8'o clock kick off

The segregation is a consequence of the fines imposed and the ones to come on FEV. Will be better for the travelling fans as some prefer standing and splits the following - over 1000 will be travelling btw for what is a huge game that tiredness and injury will have a huge impact on
