09/09: Bulldogs
23/09: Centurions

Re: Middle 8s : Wed Jul 27, 2016 9:38 am  

Arguably the toughest two games last, can't have any complaints about that. We need to get this dealt with in the first 5.

Re: Middle 8s : Wed Jul 27, 2016 9:39 am  

So chronologically:

06/08: Rovers (A)
12/08: Hull KR (H)
20/08: Broncos (A)
02/09: Red Devils (H)
09/09: Bulldogs (H)
18/09: Giants (A)
23/09: Centurions (H)

Great - the toughest game will probably be Huddersfield and by that point we'll have 10 points in the bag.

Re: Middle 8s : Wed Jul 27, 2016 9:55 am  

We need to get this nailed and dealt with in as few games as possible. If we are scrapping towards the end to avoid the million pound game performances will be terrible.

Are the middle 8`s shown on Sky?
If so which Leeds games or has that yet to be decided?

Re: Middle 8s : Wed Jul 27, 2016 10:19 am  

Only the Featherstone & London games on SKY so far...more could be move depending on results etc I'm presuming.

Only up to Challenge Cup Weekend announced so far. Last four rounds to be announced later for Sky fixtures.

Not a bad order those fixtures.

Looking at the others I'd be most concerned if I was a HKR fan. Got a good opener at home to Batley but then away to us and Salford. If they don't get anything from those two away games then they'll only have 2 points by the time Leigh visit them.

Also Salford vs Hudds on the opening weekend so one of the SL clubs is going to be playing catchup after the first week.

Hopefully, get through this, have no players selected for England (based on performance this year) give the lads a good break and get everyone back for a full pre season and be ready to go in February.

Re: Middle 8s : Wed Jul 27, 2016 11:44 am  

Hall & Watkins definitely will be in the squad plus possibly Briscoe & probably Ferres.
