Yes, an honest appraisal of the play-off contenders.
Leeds are favourites.
Saints: Rumours that Potter has lost the dressing room, lost the last 2, potentially without some of their nucleus of key players who've pulled them out of impossible situations over the last few seasons (Wellens, Cayless, possibly Graham, Long playing with one eye etc)
Huddersfield: As stated will have been a massive drain to peak for the CC. The halves were already their weakest link with planning to have Carney, now losing Brown for the season as well, just don't think they have the guile to get to OT unless Hodgson goes on an amazing run.
Wigan: Very average against us, Noble on the way out, losing to Huddersfield at time of posting. Stick a fork in them, they're done.
Wakefield: Excellent one-off team, but they need a run that will be beyond them with 9 missing yesterday plus Brough another crucial casualty.

It is the way of the weak to secretly bleat to those in authority rather than fight their own battles.

Brough is fine, who are the missing 9?
I get Drew, Snitch and George who were rested and are not injured - not sure on Martin.
Unavailable for the play offs are, Gleeson, Blanch (injured) and Rooney on loan and Peterson gone.
I'm really confused as we are as near to a full squad as you can be this time of the season.

Still think Rovers are favourites to play Leeds at OT. Big problems at Saints apparently, Huddersfield drained by Wembley and short in the halves (where they were already hampered by not getting Carney). Wigan are in no sort of form and I don't think Wakey can sustain a run of good results with 9 unavailable.
Thing is with rovers, they have no play off experience and i don't think their players have the bottle for it. Yesterday's game was very important for their passage to OT and should have been treated like a play off game IMO and they were so poor we'd have beaten them.

We were a pub team I coached for a long time and we won 95% of games because winning is a mental state driven by a desire to CRUSH an opposition. Did FC look as though they wanted to Crush Wigan and strangle them until they screamed ? NO RL is a tough tough game and Maylord She-dong you have no clue In fact don't ever ever reply to any of my posts again
