The Blues Ox Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Another great win for Haven and its fair to say they will have a big impact on who will finish 3rd, 4th, and 5th with their last 3 games been Batley, Fax and Bulls. I really can't see Fax winning up there with the two teams current form. Batley need to win next week with Bulls and Fax both having losses then the final decider could be Fax V Batley. Getting that 3rd spot and playing London and avoiding the trip to France is going to be huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamescolin Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 FEATHERSTONE ROVERS GOOD WIN AT OLDHAM 48-10. SURELY WE ARE NOW GUARANTEED SECOND PLACE, IT WOULD TAKE A MIRACLE FOR US NOT TO BE THERE. EVEN IF WE LOST OUR LAST THREE GAMES (NO CHANCE) OUR FA IS SO GOOD WE HAVE IT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blues Ox Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 As things stand Toulouse look nailed on for promotion and have been a cut above every team including Fev but you never know. Its a one off game and Toulouse could pick that game for everything to go wrong or for nerves to get the better of them. It would be a cracking final though and to be honest I do hope that's how it ends up because the other 4 teams really are just making the numbers up and it is hard to see any of them been able to beat both the top 2 in consecutive weeks.

In reality on teams that finish 4th 5th and 6th can play TO and only 3rd 4th and 5th can play FEV In the semi-finals, the lowest ranked winners from round one will travel to the league leaders, with the other survivors away to the table runners-up. , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashmon Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 so London are confirmed in 6th? or can Haven overhaul them? Really not clear right now I would expect London to beat swinton, lose to Fev, 50/50 vs York. So can Haven if they win their last 3 finish above London if London win only one of the remaining 3 games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit - If Broncos hadn't had a points reduction for refusing to travel to Toulouse however, they would finish above Haven in the same circumstances!

crashmon Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 how do they calculate the win % So if London win 1 / lose 2 of the last 3, thats W11 L8 D1 :- 55% Haven win 3 thats W12 L9 D1 :- 54.5% That gives London the spot by 0.5% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fev made 19 handling errors in the game against Toulouse; Toulouse themselves made 18 handling errors at Oldham (though still won comfortably). Whichever teams make it to the final, having an off-day could be costly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crashmon Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 yea forgot about that. Haven then have to beat Batley / Fax / Bradford to qualify They do that they will deserve there 6th spot. Ofc London could beat York, but even with the win vs Sheffield today, I don't see London winning more than 1 out of 3 remaining games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
