The ~500 Widnes fans who were at Barrow yesterday didn't see it that way, nor did the players, judging by the celebrations. Suspect those who watched or played in the York/ Fev game would say the same

Fielding an unregistered player. It's a hell of an off the wall prediction.

Why? Away followings are notoriously low in the Championship and Wakefield are not exactly a big draw especially when considering most games they play in are a forgone conclusion. It probably does not

A draw would make it Bradford v Fev, Sheffield E v York in the play-offs. I guess Eagles should be motivated to try to rack up a big score against Dewsbury and potentially get 4th place.

If York and Fev draw, any old win will do.   If Fev win, overtaking their points difference would be a possibility.  If York win, that's less likely.  It would need Dewsbury's highest defeat of the season.

   A 13 point and over win for Sheffield at Dewsbury would put them above Featherstone if they draw at York.Dewsbury have 4 suspended so Sheffield should manage to beat them by 26/30 points at least.

You may be overlooking that if you draw and we win, we won't need points difference.

Mind you, we have a long record of narrow defeats at Dewsbury.

Dewsbury's highest defeat of the season may be on the cards as I'm not sure we've got 18 players due to injuries and suspensions.

You have 17 named. 

But 17 is all you need.

Whether all 17 are fit to play is another question. You'd normally name an 18th man.

Not many play, though.

True, but I will be surprised if Sheffield don't post at least 50 points.

Wouldn't be enough if York win.
