There's no perfect solution for Magic fixtures Salford were a 4th placed side last year while we were at the bottom with Hudds so they seemed good match ups at the time.


Derby's have been done to death and some teams dont have a derby, if they announce the fixtures too late people don't book etc etc.


As for this season I'd say we wouldent have expected to win at Catalan or Wire, but maybe would have fancied our chances with Leigh at home. So I'd say we are 5 points ahead of my expectations so far with seemingly easier games to come, we need to finally at long last end a season well though.

We've played Wigan twice, KR and Leigh probably the best three teams and Wire and Catalan away plus two energy zapping cup games against the best two teams, so to be sat 4th is very good with no 2nd rowers. Future is bright if we can win 2/4, 3/4 away games we be in a great position, plus two much needed rest weeks in the next six weeks, get some bodies back. Club will have to make a decision on Olly Holmes if he's not back in next 8 weeks IMO. 

With the way the fixture list is so back loaded hopefully we can get some home wins and have a feel good factor into the winter.

Really happy with were we are as a club and in the league . Still room for loads of improvement but we're slowly turning the corner . 

You have to be happy with the way we have started especially with a difficult run of games. We've not had more points after nine games since 2016.



Really important we don't slip up on Sunday. A chance to consolidate our top four place and hopefully improve our point difference which has taken a bit of a battering with two games against Wigan.

Only lost 2 the 2 grand finalists from last year so we can't complain. It's been a tough start
