Do we know how the RFL will allocate promotion/relegation this season? Given final placings defime venue for play off games and both Tolouse and Featherstone may well go through season unbeaten will Fev get the advantage simply because of playing more games?

Also Oldhams game ve Toulouse has been cancelled, it would be hard to see any other result than a 50 point plus drubbing for Oldham so if the draw level with the team finishing 12th (which may well be us) they might escape on points difference as well as the fact that theit percentage will be better because they have escaped the drubbing.

Would have been simpler, & fairer to play everone home and away (26 matches) which is only 3 more than the proposed 23 and avoid the play off system.

As it stands for some reason despite Fev winning more games and having a better PD Toulouse are top...  Newcastles game against Toulouse is also cancelled due to be there being no spare date for these games to take place.  But let's be honest we have only faced both once where some will play both twice.  We are more than good enough to stay up on merit without worrying about an easier schedule.

We have to target Oldham as a must win game, if we can beat Oldham we should be safe, we need 800 to 900 fans at the Oldham game cheering the lads on to victory
