we have a weakened squad due to injuries - not sure who will be interchange for fozzy ?
hopefully we can recreate the team spirit we had against Oldham and london

also might be a decent crowd as Oldham should bring a few- might crack 3000 with a prevailing wind

No clean sweeps this week (not that there are any bonus points on offer) as even the one person (Spelly) who went for Thunder also picked Sheffield. Pensioner and aldos gnome snuck up a place.

It's looking like geoffw has this in the bag with a five point lead and only five games to go (I think!)

Lets assume Donny beat Barrow, its odds on, they are at home and beat them 72 nil last week.

By beating 3rd placed Oldham we took their spot, so had the easier of the 2 qualifying games away to Newcastle while Donny from a 4th place finish had to face London. That advantage carries over to next week as well with a home tie vs Oldham.

My question is, after that if we beat Oldham, are we still seeded 3rd and hence play 2nd placed Newcastle away again. Or because Doncaster finished 1 place above us in 4th, does the 3rd seeding end meaning we have to play London away to qualify for the GF?

and the best bit is London are going east !
that would be fantastic for us -

we would play

whitehaven

workington

barrow

rochdale

oldham

swinton

salford 

N / S crusaders 

plus 1 - Halifax ?

If you had a vote, bearing in mind, on the whole it's been a very good season so far. We got to the 1895 Cup Final, and are still involved in the play-offs.

Who gets your vote?

The 23-year old Fullback/Centre has been in the Brisbane Broncos feeder system for the last two years with the Magpies, and was set to trial for the Broncos NRL team for 2027 before being snapped up by the Vikings.

On signing for the Vikings, Johnson said: “Whilst an opportunity to trial with an NRL team for 2027 was available, after speaking to the Widnes recruitment team I see their vision, I’m so excited to represent a club in England with such a huge potential.

“I’m looking forward to getting over to the UK, and helping Allan and the boys continue to improve and strengthen in 2027

I was looking through my old programmes and came across this one from March 1984, and wondered if anyone (Ste Fox?)knew why it was just 1 page divided into 4. All the other programs that season were normal sized ones)

See nothing on our site but Newcastle are selling tickets for game @5pm 

is it better for the club to buy through our website or does it make no difference ?
