As we have seen this season. Anyone can beat anyone.
I get the feeling its going right down to the last game.

Wonder if Mr Royston could go see if Wigan would let Cougars have Joel Tomkins on 6 weeks loan under his supervision?

We seem to have a decent relationship with Warrington, haven't they got someone who would fit our needs, for a few weeks? Team like that must have some decent youngsters, who could do with a run out at a decent level?

We have a roster of players that are capable of doing the job, unfortunately we've had injuries that have cost us dear.

To my mind, Handforth and Jones developed an understanding and have been the best half back partnership we've seen down here for a good few years. Coupled with injuries to Buster, Shickell, Sheriffe, and others plus the suspension to March we've been found wanting.

Getting fit bodies back on the park and "getting our heads right" would give us a fighting chance.

As for a DR player, or a loan player, we've already seen this year with sides we've played against, that some are a big success whilst others are a waste of space and a detriment to team performance.

Thing is it's now do or die, and it pains me to say, we have to be amongst the favourites for the drop.

An urgent return to winning form is needed by whatever means.

Agreed - we must stay in this division.
Relegatiin would mean disaster.

During a 'Senior Moment' I somehow thought that Whitehaven were playing Rochdale today, but they weren't.

A great Cougars victory today!

So, after adjusting my earlier prediction, following today's results I have:

5th Dewsbury with 52 still 52
6th Workington with 49 still 52
7th Whitehaven with 49 now 47
8th Sheffield with 48 now 46
9th Cougars with 44 - now 46
10th Batley with 42 now 44

Even tighter and 'points difference' could well come into play!

But at least we're not in the relegation place at last!

Let's hope that we can just keep on winning and can beat Swinton at their new home next week.

Re: Last 6 matches : Mon Jul 28, 2014 8:45 am  

Excellent result yesterday, I had that down as a bonus point at best.

Clearly we can play good rugby lets keep it up. A win next week should see us jump over both Batley and Sheffield.

So who do we fancy in the playoffs ....... I'll get m' coat on the way out!

Re: Last 6 matches : Mon Jul 28, 2014 8:46 am  

Playoffs would be great, but I'll still settle for 9th, in all honesty
