Do we still have Salford at home if the Giants beat Wire by 46 points. Unlikely I know but not impossible. Wire have a cup semi next week and can no longer win the league leaders shield. The only definite fixtures we know are where we play Leeds and London as 10,11,12 in SL could still feasibly change and we have no idea who will finish 3rd and 4th in champ.

We will know where we play SL teams by 4pm tomorrow and Championship team fixtures by 5pm on Sunday

Don't think we've been too bad away this year bar a few dodgy games. We won at

Cas
Hudds
Widnes x2

Not the best really but still hard run good team close.

Has any body watched Rugby League backchat ob Premier Sports this week? Some really constructive advice from the Halifax chairman Michael Steele on how to approach the MIddle 8's. Win the matches against the other Championship clubs and concentrate trying to win the 2 home matches against the Superleague clubs. He thinks we are much stronger this season which I agree with especially in the Forwards. Michael Carter the Wakefield chairman was also on the programme and mentioned how unfair it was last season how we had to meet the Superleague clubs first up, and seemed to say this may be addressed this year, although this may be scuppered by SKy or availability of football stadiums.

Warrington can still win the LLS as you only win it after 30 Rounds.

OK forgot they had playoffs after the 7 extra games. Either way it is still possible for Huddersfield to finish 10th.

Well if we get London and fev/Bradford at home then we couldn't ask for better in terms of the champ games - and we owe batley one
Wanted HKR at home tbh, they seem to be a bit hot and cold and I reckon we could take them if they were a bit off

Brierley scoring a try in front of the north stand is quite an interesting and amusing thought

Edit
Looks as though we get fev/Bradford away which is a bit of a bummer, could do with Batley losing tomorrow

Re: Middle 8 matches : Sat Jul 23, 2016 8:01 am  

Hudds beat Wire today and we'll have hkr at home.

Oh but he keeps saying in every interview how the Leigh fans are great, which we are if course. Now I know I am not speaking for everyone here but, Ryan, brace yourself.
