Doesn't matter who we play because we are back where we were when all this started bottom of the league.

I still believe now as I did then that the bottom team should be relegated and top be champions if you have promotion and relegation whether that was us, Leeds, Hull KR or Salford.

Would now be a bigger irony if the MPG was us vs Leigh as the game was that won us promotion and we no longer have Stanley Gene to inspire us !!

Sorry but we waited far too long to move PA on and now it's a lottery when most of our competitors have more tickets (home games)

Absolutely right, We had the same chance as everybody else to stay in the top flight and the same chance to win 4 home games in the middle 8 . The time for talking is done ,It's time to put up or shut up, The club and the team have got us where we are . PA should have been gone 12 months ago, so now we live with the consequences of keeping him on. We shall see now who wants to play for the club and earn their corn in SL.

The new coach has enough quality in the squad to win the group, It's up to him to get the best out of the players. No time for whinging about bad luck, injuries , poor ref's whatever, we have heard it all a million times, They either give it 100% and play to win or they get relegated, and some of them will be forever championship players.

So confirmed Leeds London and Featherstone at home.

Salford/Leigh/KR and Batley away.
I'd say 3 of these away games are a must win.

glad we dont have to travel to london

should look to win those home games, the leeds one should be a cracker

all tough away trips though and our away form is the worst of anyone i think

I'd rather play KR and Salford away than Leeds- wish we were going to London- I love my London weekends away- have missed them!!!!!

Batley away, we might get a good following there, 250 or so

When do we find out what days/nights the games are on?

Of course finishing bottom gives us the toughest draw for a SL side and fair enough, but it is worrying, very worrying.

This teams quite good enough to avoid the drop if they just play smart and stop the 'magic bullet' stuff.

aim to win all our home games

best chance of winning away against fellow sl teams is the hull kr game i feel , shoul have won there recently , had the game in the bag (again) .. really need to get that winning mentality and how to close games out...

problem is we are coming up against teams that know how to do that, ok at a lower level but the pressure will be high and we may crumble like in the past in big games.

its going to be an interesting finish to the season for sure!!!

Leeds put down a big marker today then in this comp by hammering Featherstone on their own pitch.

Leyth hold on to beat the Broncos.
