fevtom Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I'm looking forward to Batley v Newcastle, two teams who have had good starts. Sheffield v London will be interesting as well after London's disappointing start, and Sheffield's incredible start until they lost to Newcastle. I suspected at the start of the season that Toulouse and Fev will finish as the top two teams with Toulouse probably going up but the rest of the league is looking wide open so far. This could be a good year for some unlikely play off pushes.

ShropshireBull Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Fax, Broncos, York, Batley, Bulls and Vikings. Broncos game unsure of and seeing Eagles do well is no bad thing. Vikings have to win and if Thunder can beat Batley, they can be looking more towards playoffs than bottom two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBull Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 SATURDAY 1st MAY Oldham v Halifax Panthers KO 12:45 Halifax manage to put an 80 minute performance together, Fax by 30 Sheffield Eagles v London Broncos KO 15:00 Sheffield to continue their great form, while alarm bells ring for London SUNDAY 2nd MAY Dewsbury Rams v York City Knights KO 19:30 Only 1 score in it but home advantage tells Newcastle Thunder v Batley Bulldogs KO 12:45 Same as above Whitehaven v Bradford Bulls KO 15:00 Bradford continue to build. May even get into a +ve points For/against Widnes Vikings v Swinton Lions KO 17:15 Widnes kickstart their season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blues Ox Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Should be an easy win for Fax, Im expecting Sheffield to beat London for the Saturday games. York with a close win against Dewsbury, Batley to comfortably beat Newcastle, Haven V Bulls will be hard to call and wouldn't be surprised if Haven edge it and the same goes for Widnes V Swinton would not be surprised if Swinton win this one. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Art of Hand and Foot Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Now, I want to pre-empt the "Halifax didn't turn up". They did, they tackled tjemselves to a standstill. Yeds have been underrated so far this season. We are far better than the credit we haven't been given. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Phantom Horseman Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Wow, Oldham beat Halifax. Lots of personnel changes at Fax this season but doesn't seem to have worked so far. They let in some very soft tries against Toulouse last week, they are really struggling right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OL14.yeds Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Halifax were fraught with errors in the second half, but Oldham just kept turning the screw and came up with a couple of good tries, nilling Halifax after the break in the process! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleboroRoughyed Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 To be fair to Fax in the 2nd half it was one way traffic & they defended their line really well. Oldham were held up over the line 4 times & the pressure finally told late on. Whitehaven up next for Oldham a 4 pointer! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrewsbury roughyed Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Fabulous result for Oldham against almost all the predictions. By all accounts as much down to Oldham’s excellent and dogged play as any poor play by Fax. And that’s with 3 or 4 first choice picks out for Oldham. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge win over London, lost by a point away to Bradford, were better than Toulouse for the final 30 minute last week. Let's give Oldham some credit for a very good win. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have said fair play to Oldham, who have struggled with injuries. They seem up and down like many teams in the division, a couple of times when I've watched them they've looked desperately weak in defence but they've now won two Championship games. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's give Oldham some credit for a very good win. Yes I was already in the middle of acknowledging that, see the above post. But are you seriously suggesting that Halifax's start to the season hasn't been a massive disappointment? The London team they beat was out of form and riddled with injuries to their better players, they let slip a strong position against Bradford, and against Toulouse the game was all over by half time because of some of the weakest goal-line defence I have seen from Fax team in a long time.
