Fev have still got Bradford, Leigh, and Sheffield so would need to win one of those and then hope that Halifax lose more than 2. Realistically if Fax manage to beat Sheffield on Sunday it will be the London V Sheffield game that could decide if Fax finish 3rd thats thinking Fax will lose to Bradford.

London are probably the team that could still sneak in to the top 4 with 4 wins and hoping Fax lose 2. If Fax beat Sheffield then London would have to win all 4 of their remaining games and over turn a massive points difference to finish above Fax if results went like that though London could still over turn Sheffields point difference meaning they missed out on the top 4. Its great isnt it.

I think it will be us or Bradford in 5th. The SL teams will be in the top 4

I'd say Salford are down, Widnes lost their big man in Kevin Brown who would return for the first game in the Middle 8s, still in with a slight chance to get in the top eight though. Looking at the fixtures I personally think Warrington will take 8th place, with Widnes, Salford and Wakefield.

Really looking forward to the middle 8s, very game matters when you technically all start again from 0.

Warrington
Widnes
Bradford
Leigh
Salford
Wakefield
Sheffield
Featherstone/Halifax/London.

Leigh will have gained valuable experience playing Salford, Wakefield and especially Warrington this season in the cup. I am confident the lads will do well in the Middle 8's.

Against Warrington, too many things didn't fall our way and Ridy's kicking was off. But that aside, the lads were able to play the fast and expansive rugby that they're exellent at and it was obvious they relished it.

Re: Sooper League : Wed Jul 01, 2015 11:03 pm  

Hull
Widnes
Salford
Wakefield

Leigh
Bradford
Fax
Fev

Top 2 SL clubs get 4 home games
Top 2 Champ clubs get 4 home games

It is going to be a cracking league with some fantastic games. Fax and Fev have really hit form at the right time.
I believe 1 team will get promoted, just hope it's Leigh.

I'm presuming SLY have the rights to the Middle 8's? So we will all have quick turnarounds on every game to make,something SL teams are use too. Be very interesting to see how we deal with the quick turnarounds in the upcoming fixtures left.

Re: Sooper League : Thu Jul 02, 2015 12:31 am  

seems daft but I think Finishing 4th would suit leigh better. I know you only get 3 home games coming 4th but all three are against SL teams finishing 9,10,11th with only the bottom SL club away.

If I were a leigh fan I would rather play the Top SL teams at home, know you could probably see off the champ teams and wakey away.

But your abviously not gonna play for forth lol. There massive arguments with the fixtures in the middle eights as to thay actually favour

Well you can't argue the fixtures until you know what they are.And that's still up in the air for both leagues..The next couple of weeks will see those fixtures being more transparent, how clubs deal with it going forward to the 8's is another thing.

Yes but they announced they'll be showing 1 game from The Qualifiers every week on a Saturday so not that much of a short turnaround.
