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. Newcastle v london cancelled this week so 2 more points london can't get so can only get to 25 if they win all games left including FEV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true but when are they going to fit it with only four weeks of the regular season left and according to them Thunder meet the threshold for postponement of at least seven senior players ruled out either as a result of positive Covid-19 tests or as close contacts who are not fully vaccinated.and FEV know only too well with covid players miss more than one game so their game at dewsbury away could be knocked as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Tonks Sidestep Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 The Betfred Championship table is being determined on Win Points Percentage in 2021, to allow for the possibility of matches not being played. This punishment reduces London from 17 points to 15 from 13 matches, and reduces their Win Points Percentage (number of points divided by number of matches, multiplied by 50) from 65.38% to 57.69%. They drop from fifth to sixth in the table, below Batley Bulldogs. Operational Rules Tribunal – London Broncos (rugby-league.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piggy's mate Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Good of Widnes to do us a favour and hoped Swinton might do the Bulls.

Bull pups Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Win our last 3 including Halifax and we are in with a shot of third.. Although personally I would prefer to finish 4th and play the bulls at home rather than London if we finished 3rd!!! Anyway whatever happens it's been 1 hell of a season!!!!

RPH Posted August 22, 2021 Author Share Posted August 22, 2021 I know we have scored 50 against Astons Eagles before, and they have of late been our Bogey team, but what is our highest score against them ?.

Its been coming to be fair but we can't use the players missing as an excuse as the performance was just dross. So many basic errors and completion rate that can't have even hit 30% in the second half not pretty but its been a nice run. Its getting exciting for these positions though and our result still doesnt change much for us in that 3 wins should get us 3rd. Fax and Bradford both must win next week with Batley not playing and with both likely to lose the following week. Sets up a good game the last week at the Shay.

phildog Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Fax n Bulls have to play Fev n Toulouse so possible losses dropping % so ours would also go up assuming we beat Haven n Rams, no reason why not after yesterday. Every club has injury and Covid victims, that's the idea of squads and with the ones we've had out we've still turned a team out at Widnes, Swinton and Eagles and even losing to Fev 15 of the team had played the week before so there are really no excuses.

I reckon the Bulls are on a bit of a wobble at present so you should be in with a shout of overtaking them. As a matter of interest, what are the plans for clubs playing at Toulouse in the play offs, given that there are no longer any restrictions on travel between the countries?
