York have all the talents but seemed a bit soft up the middle. If they could get a decent and settled half back partnership, they will really get results that their potential deserves.

Piggy's mate Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Looks like York won't make the top six now I reckon. I wonder what Ford's excuse was this week?

The Blues Ox Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Some big games coming up and looking at the table its going to be so close for the remaining positions in the 6. most of the challengers you can see them winning 7 or 8 games but I think Batley are probably in most danger as their fixtures look tougher than the others. Beat Bradford on Sunday though and that probably means you also win 7 or 8. There will be a mad scramble come end of the season as I think most teams will prefer a trip to PO road rather than France.

Really TBO FEV unbeaten scoring 256 against 42 so enjoy your trip over 5th sep but that could be a mute point oldham game in france this week been cancelled I think Widnes are the beneficiaries in the promotion race they only have play TO and FEV once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that might work in teams favour is a 4th place finish presuming that Toulouse top the league, but than are not able to play the game in France. Other than that having played both teams I know which I'd fancy our chances against more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously that would be TO TBO by all accounts you took them to the cleaners in the second half and if there had been a bit more time on the clock you would have won where as FEV's defence was always on top and you never looked like winning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill H Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 It's unlikely BSJ, resources are looking a bit thin at the moment and form seems to have dipped somewhat. As always luck will no doubt play it's part but we'll have more idea after next week I reckon. Whatever happens, we have had a good start to the season and some very entertaining moments.

And a massive disadvantage in having to fly in and out for every game whilst isolating at home afterwards. Whoever wins it will be strictly on merit, in my opinion.

But don't forge TBO fewer games means when SL comes a calling they may be lacking in something often referred to as match fitness "His lack of match fitness became apparent by the second half."

Id much rather be lacking in match fitness than having to take injections to get through a game to be honest. I do think they will be selective over what games they play later in the season just to make sure they have enough games for % to count rather than points. FWIW I would rather Fev go up this season I think they deserve a shot but I just think the cards are stacked in Toulouse favour at the moment.

Full-time training and conditioning goes a long way but and you will know BSJ training is a lot different to playing and all what you've done off the pitch goes out of the window when you get on the pitch and start taking heavy hits that your bodies not used to and when they keep coming you'll soon need to be patched up 58 minutes ago, The Blues Ox said: Id much rather be lacking in match fitness than having to take injections to get through a game to be honest.

That's true TBO according to reports they need 17 games to qualify for playoff that's 11 in the uk and 6 others from games scheduled for france they've played 2 widnes and swinton so need 4 more luckily they have four left from 24th july so hopefully they can all be played at the right time funny thing is they play both FAX and RAMS at home in this period so you and BSJ will have a hand in the demise of TO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
