Toulouse once again showing themselves to be an enigma wrapped in a riddle, going down 22-6 at London. About the only time they seem to have played well away from home was against us!

Still, that result makes a top-place finish for us a step closer.

don,t underestimate london , could cause you more pain than the pretenders

Is it set in stone what's happening regards play-offs, and promotion and relegation from S/L. I'm sure I haven't seen anything.

[J Phil Loxton]

First of all let's not presume we will get to the final and if and when we do then have a look at the weather forecast. Cos I've heard Halifax Batley Sheffield and Batley can play in the British weather

Halifax need a dry ground, surely you've been told that before.

Any truth in the rumour that half the population of Batley was out with watering cans yesterday morning?

  Good win for Widnes against Bradford 3!-14 .

[The Phantom Horseman]

I had a look at the betting early today and my has it changed. A few weeks ago Bradford being 6-1 and London 8-1, with Sheffield and Halifax around 40-1 or 50-1, would have seemed far fetched. Just shows how quickly form can change in this division.

That said, Bradford will be getting pushed back out after tonight. They have a lot of talent on their day, but so many wildly inconsistent or flakey players too.

Bradford are good at home but garbage away not going to win much that way.

[georgeb1]

After last nights showing Longy and the team must have big grins on their faces today , Bradford , fax , Sheffield and probably Toulouse are merely making up the numbers , at last it really is your year

Not according to VIA play commentary,  best thing since sliced bread . Looked more like a soggy baguette to me. How Blackmore gets a gig god only knows?

Thank you but iam sure we won't be counting our chickens yet,they don't seem to play as bad as that against us.

Batley might well have a say in this though.

It's not the form teams are in now that counts though. It's how they're playing in October and how much they can raise their game against us. Toulouse lost twice to London either side of beating us comprehensively, there was certainly no comparison between their Summer Bash effort aginst London and how they played against us.

They need to look at the stats I think they have won away twice this season and one of them was at Newcastle which was a shocking game

How did Gilmore go on Monday night? Longy knew what he was doing in trying to sign him, but fair play to the Lad if he wants to show loyalty to the club he first signed for as a youngster. I would keep him in mind though if things don't work out with our half backs, in which case Widnes may be willing to let him come on a short term loan just before the transfer deadline if they don't look like making the play-offs?

BTW, when is the transfer deadline?

I’ll be surprised if we sign any more players now. We’ve plenty strength in depth in most positions and would struggle to get better in, that we already have.

Better, but injury prone.

   Hope we can get Ford back fit and firing out those passes before end of season.Not his fault but he has been very poor value for money but if he makes a difference towards the back end it will be worth it.

Apparently BRADFORD BULLS have strengthened their pack for the push for Super League promotion. they have added Hull KR prop Dan Okoro,

Incidentally Dan's claim to fame is 3 games for Hunslet in 22  and 7 for Thunder in 23
