Your memory serves you well, Batley as seems to be the way have over performed in my eyes so far this season. If you make the playoffs ahead of at least a couple of other of the favoured teams then you have done very well. As for Fax most peoples league predictions at the start of the season had us 7th or 8th, personally I thought we had a chance of 3rd with the squad we had but it wasn't looking likely after defeats to Oldham and Bradford.

The Phantom Horseman Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 In my preview on the main forum back in February I predicted 6th for Halifax (I had Fax in a tier from 4th to 6 with Bradford and London) and 11th for Batley! So a little wrong with one and very wrong with the other. Like a lot of people I got York badly wrong and also underestimated Whitehaven who I had finishing bottom. Not easy this prediction lark.

Piggy's mate Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Think Haven did us a favour, what's the mathematical calculation for us to definitely finish in top 6? eg win 2 more games or are we already home and dry?

RogerT Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Win them all and we are certainly safe. My belief is we must win 3/4 to cement 5th and if Bradford slip up in a couple then I believe 4th is a good possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phildog Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Bulls will have to play Toulouse, they can't use a Covid excuse...they either get a 0-24 loss so lessening their % or a 'no game' and % stays the same or they play and lose, any scenario is good for both Dogs n Fax so last match Fax v Dogs could actually sort out 3rd n 4th.
