Well, just exploring the league a little further. Consider if the championship is increase by two teams, sure their season is extended by 2 games but at the end, as with super league and the championship, the bottom two teams could play in the league 1 play offs. Also since league 1 is now reduced in size then home and away fixtures are possible if we start earlier. Lets face it the super league season starts a whole four weeks before league 1.

Sure, we have the Ipro cup to contend with but when I first started watching Rugby league we played a lot of games, twice a week wasn't unusual. Besides the league fixtures, we had the Yorkshire/Lancashire Cup, the John Player Cup, the Floodlit Trophy and Challenge Cup ................ happy days!

Must win today (obviously) to have any chance of reaching the play offs, that would leave us with two matches Barrow away, I don't think we'll get anything there just have to keep the score down, then York at home another must win. Whereas Doncaster have Rochdale and York away then Skolars at home, I only see Doncaster getting 2 points against Skolars. So we end up on the same points, for and against will be important for us to reach the play offs where we will probably play Barrow away, hopefully we will have learnt something about them from our next match.

Trying to keep the faith!

Depending on which team turns out Doncaster could win all 4 , we played well at Hunslet & didn't do too bad against Toulouse.
Going to be a tough game today for both sides !

Is it over for this year, did anybody hear the fat lady singing yesterday? I guess there's still a chance but I'm totally peed off!

You guys were the better side for most of the game , then you got the Doncaster virus ie giving penalties away.
