You've lost one game and are now focussing on the MPG, there's plenty of time for you to avoid it and after seeing Widnes yesterday you should be able to.

Now, when is the MPG asks over confident, somewhat rose tinted glasses wearing Fax fan.

Greetings Norman. Great to hear from you again.

We should be able to beat Widnes - they finished below us, yet they have thrashed us twice this season. They are one of the teams we just haven't fathomed out how to play against - much like HKR. Our major problem has been that we can't score many tries - just one score over 30 in the league. (bizarrely the 50 we scored against Wigan!) Our few successes have been built on a powerful defence, when we have restricted opponents to just a couple of tries. (again, bizarrely against Warrington and Saints and we've even 'nilled' two sides, Huddersfield and Salford)

Cheers Alan, hope it goes well for you, it would be good to see you stay up and have the opportunity to build, as well as removing the obvious yo-yo talk that would come about.

Thanks Norman. I have to admit that I've missed our trip to Halifax this season - smashing stadium, good atmosphere - and our games with you. However, I have still got the chance, this season, to regret having said that!

Well said that man!!!
