No need to worry about us, theres still a chance we miss out on the playoffs like most people expected at the beginning of the season. 😁

Who did? My memory is the opposite. Conversely, most expected us to be nearer the relegation spots!

IIRC Mr Blues Ox was one who was very negative about our recruitment.

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.

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.

i noticed a Jouffret mentioned as playing for Whitehaven, seems his stay at Featherstone did not last very long, he scored a few tries for us as well.

He had signed with the Ottawa Aces before COVID-19 delayed their entry to League One until 2022. he asked FEV but FEV said NO so he signed for SO Avignon for the 2021 season On 26 Jun 2021 it was reported that he had signed for Whitehaven but remember whithaven were the first club he played for as a 19 year old in 2015

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?

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.

If london win them all they can only   get  27 points  your on 22 now so that's  3 wins Don't forget  forget london play FEV so that may take it down to 2 😀

Bradford play TO so that's one slip🤣

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.

In an ideal world P that would be  great end to the regular season but you need all the ducks to fall in a row for that to happen first you need to win all your three games leading up to the 19th and get on 28 pts 

You need FAX to lose 2 out of their four to get to 28 pts but that's not as daft as it sounds they have three tricky away games widnes whitehaven and and somebody called FEV😀

Do you think it is possible Fev could ease off a bit with the play offs in mind.I don't think they can get 1st and they are nailed on for 2nd.
