Bradford look like they are happy to have made the playoffs so I expect a haven win next week as one team is bang in form and up for the fight and the other is in rest mode. I’ve seen comments about how exciting the Widnes v Bradford game was and yes the atmosphere was good with the game in the balance but make no mistake it was a game with over 30 errors between the sides. It was only exciting as both sides couldn’t keep hold of the footy or threw it forward. If either team could have respected the ball they would likely have put 30-40 points on the other Sorry marra I ment London, Batley, Bradford if Haven beat Bradford and the other 2 get beat we'd have more points than all 3 teams. But would still finish 6th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunatley our season is fizzling out with a whimper and I would imagine France is the desired option of all 4 teams that finish in the last remaining places for a goold ol pee up in France. As it is though Haven look the most likely team to be able to go to Fev and be capable of causing an upset. They look a really good unit and I hope they can kick on next season.

Yep. 2 of them have 60% or over and even if they lose it will still be high 50s% It’s London or Haven for 6th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true but don't forget you will have played more games than the other three and if you want to argue about points take a look at top of table TO 26 points 1st FEV 36 points 2nd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If either team could have respected the ball they would likely have put 30-40 points on the other I think everyone who was there would agree with that. Just shows that a game can be close and exciting without being high quality. Neither side really looked like creating a gap in the opposition defence either - it was only kicks that resulted in opportunities. Seen a few comments from Widnes fans elsewhere about it being poetic justice with the elbow at the end with the amount of niggle and cheap shots going unpunished during the game, but I didn't really see it like that. I did have the impression that the amount of timewasting from the Bulls at the end was not endearing them to the referee though. On which note - I think the standard of refereeing this year has been generally excellent - lots of good young referees coming through it seems to me.

Thanks marra it was a good solid hard game, no foul play off either team a few big hits some good rugby. We just had that extra spite in the tackles (Dion) which won us the game.

We have had no other games called off except Toulouse away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven look the best team from positions 3-7 at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SL playoff set up this year. 1 and 2 have the week off then 3v6 and 4v5 with Toulouse playing the lowest ranked team in the semi finals. Given how the season has gone it looks the perfect playoff set up for our league this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but one of them could have a win confiscated for a Covid breach or something. "We'll sell you a seat .... but you'll only need the edge of it!"

Fev play the higher placed winner from Week 1. Which could be 3rd, 4th or 5th. Toulouse play the other lot. "We'll sell you a seat .... but you'll only need the edge of it!"
