I'd say it was a more to Orford's injury as up to that point he'd really been the major creative force in the side. Without him we struggled to produce anything, though I concede that McNamara getting the England job and having 1 eye on the door didn't help matters.

Sorry, it was just a prediction. And a wee discussion point.

Aye, and Eddie is hinting at it too. And, as we all know: Mystic Eddie has been right all along! - copyright vbfg 05.01.2017

Really???? You do realise that IF (yes we might not) but IF we beat Quins and Wakefield we will only need another 4 wins from 17 games to make the playoffs. That is one hell of a collapse! It would make Enron look like a few quid lost down the back of the sofa.

Who's your four most likely wins after those two. Make it six so we know who you'll have to make up against if you drop points unexpectedly.

Seem to remember after we hammered Hull KR at home last season the week before Murrayfield (so two weeks from this point in the season) and pointing out that we only needed 3 wins from the entire second half of the season meaning Bradford were virtually as good as in the play offs.
Believe me it is one hell of a collapse and it doesn't feel good either. In fact I remember actually feeling relieved when we were mathematically out of it.
Not that I can see that happening to Cas though this season. Play offs yes but not in the top two IMO.

"Thin squad"
This is the biggest squad we've had for seasons.
We've had injuries already to McGoldrick, Hudson, Snitch, Jones, Walker, Owen, Widders. Isa has been suspended and was in reserves for first few games
