Last week I am pleased to announce, I got all games predicted correct,*

Dewsbury (I know I should back the Lions, but without a coach we are as bad as Olympic Mens GB Rowing), Featherstone, Halifax, Whitehaven, Oldham, York, Widnes

 

*It must be my week, until today, as I had 6 winners out of 8 at Goodwood.

A serious question to the Featherstone guys, anyone know the protocol about watching the game, if any?  Do you need a Covid passport to get in? I've got an EU passport not an NHS thingy, do you think I will have a problem getting in?

I've not really given it much thought until now to be honest

This will hopefully help. No mention of any covid passport or any other proof of testing, etc.

Why is the Championship remaining relatively Covid-19, cancellation free compared to the "Super-Human" Super League, when some of these guys have to have PROPER jobs in the community? Why Can't SL Clubs self-isolate after training, rather than going down the bookies, or pubs, and getting pinged?

Thanks, that is excellent. I'm glad that they are still taking things very seriously. I would hope the Fev players can get through the rest of the season without problems w.r.t. Covid issues

Maybe sky should have shown Fev and Toulouse as a championship showcase and as a blockbuster that could be decisive 

Remember a few years ago Fev played Sheffield I think it was a Thursday night. Really close game which Fev won late on with a kick to the corner. There was a big crowd and great atmosphere.

That was indeed a tremendous game. However, the late kick to the corner which saw Will Sharp's famous leap for the ball wasn't to win the game...it was to win by more than 12 points, denying Sheffield a bonus point which basically meant Fev finished top of the table for the fourth season running.

To be honest if we can’t get a good crowd for this one particularly as Wakefield and Cas don’t have a game there is something wrong 

At the mo FEV and TO have a 100% record with TO sitting top of the table but the funny thing is if they draw today FEV go top

My prediction, Toulouse to win. Surprised more haven't predicted this on here.

I went for a convincing Toulouse win, not because I think they are a better team, I think they are very evenly matched, just more because of circumstances. Toulouse fresh and chomping at the bit for this game with plenty of time to prepare whilst Fev had a tough game at Wembley followed by a tough game at Bradford and already have a lot of injuries so any niggles will likely have got worse. If Fev can win this one then it has to make them huge favs for promotion.

Can work either way having 3 weeks off rested but not battle hardened. Also Fev 5 players back today do think it will be very even.

As it’s Yorkshire day all I will say is come on Fev do it for Yorkshire
