To be objective we've won 5 from 6 2 off 5th place with a game in hand vs the poorest team We've found a way to win 2 tight games in a row. Got Ellis n green back today. Maybe westy next with paea. Radford made a decent point that the spine as a unit gas played 2 games together n only 2 have played every game. Gave hudds as an example having 13 from Fridays 17 having played each game. If we aren't to go on a run of form now we probably won't!
One result doesn't make us a great side, and it certainly doesn't make up for 18 months of dross. However, unlike the other 4 wins we've had recently, (and I include Sainst because of the circumstances) it's a genuinely good result, away from home against one of the top sides. Throw in the fact that we were 10 down with little more than 10 to play and it's a really good win.
I think this is a good point to draw a line in the sand. This season hasn't been good enough by half, but we need to use this as a benchmark and something to kick start our season. The first half is gone now, let's kick on from here.
Brilliant to be on the Terraces today really humbled to be there with such a great group of fans quite the best ending I've seen for ages and so many Clubs do that to us, 3 seconds to go and a drop goal great win great atmosphere only a fool would say anything but still a lot to do though!

Any away win us a good win. Wins at wire are to be treasured. I have never questioned the teams desire and work rates. It's our in ability to covert possession into points or even look like we can break the line which is the worry on the bigger picture.
But tonight, I'll take a last minute win over one of the current big boys
Like always the fans were fantastic and even when we looked that we might get beat the fans backed the lads and it makes all the difference.I thought our forwards were great and never stopped running and that gave Pryce and Sneyd the platform to perform and they did just that.Nobody can say we were lucky or Warrington were poor they fully deserved the win.Has bad has we have been and we have! there is no getting away from it today was another step forward and must back it up next week. Only one complaint and thats we still give silly penalties away and put pressure on themselves and Warrington made them pay for it fortunately it did not cost us the game .The great Tony Smith and his Warrington side are only two points above us and we have a game in hand so in reality nothing between us ..will Radford get some credit? only back handed of some

Name one poster whom has given backhanded credit for this result? The fact is we were 1 win from 7 before our 4 from 5, (CC wins against championship sides don't count IMO), to turn it around and win, albeit patchy for the most part and some might say fortuitous in some games doesn't matter right now as a win is a win. IF Radford can keep us plugging away with wins that's great, not ideal but winning is the name of the game, the test is can we keep winning on the back of our game plan and the players we have to ensure we make the top 8, if we don't then Radford has to go. If we can't kick on and make top 6 by the end of the campaign that's a failure. YMMV.
