[Masters 13]

Winners in bold.

FRIDAY 9th SEPTEMBER
Sheffield Eagles v Dewsbury Rams - Sheffield have a home advantage and if Sykes is banned for this game, Sheffield will win convincingly.

10th THURSDAY SEPTEMBER
Whitehaven v Newcastle Thunder - Again home advantage to Whitehaven might be enough to edge the Thunder.

SUNDAY 11th SEPTEMBER
Bradford Bulls v Widnes Vikings -  Tough one to choose but I think Bulls will have clinch it.

Halifax Panthers v Featherstone Rovers - Again a tough one but Featherstone have might have enough in the tank to win.

Leigh Centurions v Batley Bulldogs - Meh!!!

London Broncos v Barrow Raiders - Barrow need to win this to secure 4th in the league (depending on Leigh V Batley result) but they will have to work for it as London are a strong team at home.

York City Knights v Workington Town - Town have now lost their coach next season and are demoted so not a lot to potentially not a lot to play for.

Haven 

Widnes

Fev  (dependant on sides both clubs put out) 

Leigh

Barra

York

 

Thank god its the last day of pain for my Bulls.  Fully expecting a Kear masterclass and a hat full of points for Widnes against a team decimated by injuries and absolute zero confidence or ability.

Thankfully he last game for many of our pathetic performers.

Barrow to finish above Batley but I still expect Batley to beat them in the playoffs. Fax will be resting players so can see them losing to fev by more but most games are dead rubbers. Widnes to tonk Bradford and the misery to be worse next year. 

Haven't you got Ben Blackmore next season? All your problems solved right there.

I’m not so sure. A win here to get a home fixture in the play offs will be massive (barring a miracle at Leigh). Think we will be well up for it.

I really fancy a Barrow victory, I don't expect London to react very well after the mauling by Leigh last week, and I expect we will be seeing Barrow in the semi's at the LSV if they do what a season for the club, the player's and Paul Crarey after being one of the pre-season favourites to be relegated.

Do you want to explain how that might happen , given they will be playing each other next weekend in a knockout game ?

In usual RL style, there'll be a surprise post-season restructuring into two leagues of 10, and rather than being an end-of-season, nothing really at stake other than John Kear's pride, this game will have determined who gets the vital 20th spot

Hadn't realised that. Definitely a Barrow win in that case.

Sheffield Eagles v Dewsbury Rams - Dewsbury by 1
Whitehaven v Newcastle Thunder - Haven by 16
Bradford Bulls v Widnes Vikings - Draw
Halifax Panthers v Featherstone Rovers - Fev by 7
Leigh Centurions v Batley Bulldogs - Leigh by 22
London Broncos v Barrow Raiders - Barrow by 8
York City Knights v Workington Town - York by 26 - Hoping for an entertaining game here because I'm going to watch - According to google maps, although my current abode is 1 mile closer to Headingley than Monks Cross, I can reach the York ground 1 minute quicker than Headingley! So thought I'd go along for a look with my lads.
