Yesterdays result at Warrington was humiliating , especially considering we actually went in at halftime 20-12 up.
This seasons results have been unpredictable , in July alone we've managed a win against saints a losses against Celtic and a gritty Cas outfit.
What has been predictable is the posts I have read on the back of yesterdays result :- Mylers fault, Smith's crap , McCrae Out , Simms out , Worst since ... etc.
it's a fans forum where it's right for people to vent their spleen so I'm not denying anyone's right to state these views.
All I have to say about yesterday was that it was a poor effort! . but I will reserve my judgement on players , Coaching staff etc until the end of the season.
We have six fixtures left , 4 of them at home , all winable , If we don't win another game we still have 6 wins more than some pundits anticipated and two more than Cas achieved last season.
I trust that the players will need no reminder of yesterdays performance come Friday and some of the younger squad members are given their chances as we build for next season.
I will be there against Wakefield to Cheer them on, come what may.

I agree - Leigh really went belly up, Oldham showed Dewsbury what effort could do (I had Dewsbury for 50+), and Donny could not beat a 12 man side for 40 minutes. Leeds ran into a brick wall (but the coach must go) and Wakey threw away a derby match. Gateshead must have got the world record for penalties. etc. etc.

I would not say the comments made having 50 put past you in 40 mins are knee jerk reactions.
It was embarrasing and once again our coaches tactics have to be brought in to question.
I of course will be there Friday and probably for the rest of the games including away, but I will not say all is OK because we happened to win 6 games.
There is something seriously wrong when a team can fall apart so spectacularly.
If changes are not made this Friday then expect even more protests and "knee jerk reactions "

I still cant figure out what went wrong.We showed real grit to come back from 12 nil down in the first half and go in front. A couple of really good tries. With a bit of luck we could/should have been more than 8 points up.if Myler would have passed to his right when we had an overlap,if Mark Henry could have held on to that loose ball with an eighty yard try beckoning,if we hadnt given forward passes on the first tackle [twice ] If we would have scored when Ratchford hacked the loose ball clear and for some reason we managed NOT to score.
Am I the only person who thought that we didnt play all that bad?

When the team win,all credit to the players.Posts say we have won despite the coach.
When we are up at half time,the players have done well and we concede 50 and its the coach's fault again.
Be careful what you wish for.
Bomber has done well,overall,in his first season back.
I hope the coaching staff know that some of the ranters on the Turkey are a well meaning minority.

I am not addressing the players comittment, MCrae's team selection and/or most importantly team tactics, just supporting the team. I believe we've had more than enough diversions this season: ( Florida-Stevo-Stadium-Myler ) and we just need to support whoever runs out in the red shirts on Friday .

Agree we have to get behind the team on Friday. Show the team the fans care & 'hopefully' they will respond. If we are losing it is far better to be silent than give the players a load of abuse.

Having said that, after any heavy defeat a team needs some changes. For me the first name to go has to be Paul. With him leaving at the end of the season surely now is the time for a younger player to come into the side.
Here's hoping!

I don't know why, but I feel that we will finish strong this season. Most of the games left are winnable with HKR being, imo, the hardest foe left. Even if we could notch a couple of home wins, most of the doom and gloom will even out.

When teams ship a lot of points, and it happens to the best aswell, it usually gives them the kick up their booty that was needed.

The team should scratch it off as a lesson learned, and hopefully come back stronger this week...

I will be happy if we blood some of the youngsters who have been on the fringe, after sunday what have we got to lose.
With the coach, it will do no good changing him? the players are the one's who need to step up to the plate.
I am not McRae biggest fan but I suspect too many players again do not care enough when losing due to leaving the club at the end of the season.
