Sheffield Eagles 6 Halifax 21

Looks like Sheffield have hit a bad patch at the wrong time!

Hope we can emulate Halifax's success on Sunday.

Crikey.....well done Fax !!!

The defence from Fax was brilliant. Really enjoyed that game. 0 - 0 at half time, only one try in the first 73 minutes then 3 in the last 7! Well done Fax

And all that in front of 773 fans!

This weeks crowds will be poor for the top 4 teams Its all pay and it has no relevance to the final. Knock out rugby starts next weekend

Regardless, me and th'owd mon will be at PO Road Sunday.

Should Leigh win on Sunday and you losers ie Fev and Sheff win your games after that I reckon it will be Leigh v Sheffield and Fax v Fev in the play off semi's.

Frank, we won't win at Fev.....sadly. (although I'm hopeless at predictions)

Smashes it wide open if we win on Sunday. And gets me £20 from a Fax and Leigh double.

You never know. Who would have thought we would have lost our last home game ?



I am confident our lads will give it their best shot and can't ask more than that.

AM I right in saying if we win we do get an advantage, as no one seems to know, do we get a week off then an home tie or is it away again? Does anyone know?

Should we win on Sunday we get a week off then a home draw in the semi.

Can you explain how this works. I was told that the highest ranked team was always at home If this is true then you would be back at our place if the top 4 was left although I could of been told wrong

The two highest ranked winning teams from week one will be at home in week 3

Thats as clear as mud























Plus theyve got one of the first matches wrong

Jtfev, u ever thought of going into marketing. I appreciate your point, however we should be talking these games up. A question, why because its all pay would people not turn up, as somebody who goes to every away game i pay every week.

Well why cant clubs start to do a season ticket that incudes all games, just a thought?

So if we lose Sunday, but Beat "Batley" at home week after, looks like a trip to Fax for the qualifying semi, I think.

The highest ranked winning team from week one will be at home to the lowest ranked winning team from week two. So, unless Sheffield lose again next week, we will be away to Fev again in week 3.

Oh great yet another trip to Fev then














Then we have to do something weve not done since 2004 and thats win a playoff game!!!!!!!

Well they can't because of shared gates for cup ties and playoffs. Also we never know how many matches we have to play a season because we might lose our first match in the NRC or Challenge Cup and then again we might not.

The highest ranking qualifying play off winners will be Leigh if we win on Sunday.

We will then be at home in week 3,playing for a place in the final at Leigh.

Or WembLeigh as the 'Fax fans on Twitter are now calling it.

If we win tomorrow, HALIFAX will be the highest rank qualifying play off winners. (they are 'ranked' 3, with us 4) However, we would still be at home as the lowest ranked qualifying play-off winner, in week 3.
