@Davo5are you going to the Rec on Sunday?

[Cowboy]

The 6th spot could be decided this weekend.

If Barrow can get over Bradford ,that's Bradford definitely done and if Widnes don't pick up the win,that's them done and pretty much guarantees Barrow the 6th spot at minimum.

Not looking too hopeful,got a family fundraising day at the local cricket club and the thought of an injury ravaged Haven getting a home mullering isn’t that attractive to be honest,so I might have to settle for a Wath Brow/Kells cup game on Saturday.

I had a very good visit to Whitehaven in 2003, or 4, campsite in Cockermouth and did a tour of the Lakes in a motor home, middle of trip Haven played Workington, I have never heard such a small crowd, although I don't mean that disparaging,  there was about 3000, but it sounded really like 10k

We know all about that at Leigh in seasons past, it ain't easy the season we had in SL we used 37 player's.

[Gav Wilson]

Free hit for York at Fev. Still a fair few key players out, but hopefully we can start to play ourselves back into a bit of form.

[DEANO]

Fev by at least 30

Can't see it - aren't Batley on an 8-match winning streak now? Last time we won there was 2010 I think.

John Kear against his former assistant. I suppose Widnes are on a bit of a roll, having won 4 on the trot, but all against clubs below us in the table.
