Talk of the middle eights is a bit over the top.
Saying that tonight was woeful. Leigh we're struggling to get out of there own half at times yet still posted points against us. They weren't great by any means. Were was the reaction from last week?

The structures should still be in place so when players are missing, performances are maintained (like Wigan).
We seem to lack that. We're now very reliant on Kelly and lack punch in the forwards.

Too much lateral play, not enough go forward, defense has gone missing.
Rubbish

Confidence seems shot .
Also the commitment and comaradery of last season seems to be missing .
Is it another case of 1 good season, 5 average ones ?
In a tough place at the moment . Where will the spark come from ?
Really frustrating at the moment .
Squad seems lacking depth , salary cap issues leading to us loaning out better squad players just doesn't seem right.
Need some leadership on the pitch , and judging by the last 2 games , off it !

think the squad need to sit down together and talk it out, clearly there are issues in camp and the boys look like they don't want to do it for eachother.

Loaning out players for experience is all well and good if you have a long term plan for where that player will fit in, but im confused as to why we signed Naughton in the first place. He isnt big enough to be a Radford style Wing/Centre who barges the ball up, and Shaul is pretty much first name on the team sheet at fullback.

The Hadley situation is bizarre, he was getting a lot of game time before but wasnt recalled over Easter when we needed bodies (I realise hes currently injured)

Then theres Abdull, I got the point of his loan, as he needed to get fitter and halfbacks are rare to come by in this city, but then you here rumours that he's staying at Rovers, so again whats been the point of having him on the salary cap this year if we dont have long term plans for him?

It's looking like we might have to de-prioritise an Old Trafford visit and concentrate all our eggs in the- thing-we-won last-year-basket.
We are still only 8/1 third favourites to win the Grand Final after Cas and Wigan.
The bookies must know something we don't.

None of those players are on the salary cap and that's the problem.

I think the balance of probability means we'll win at least 1 more game but I'm not sure which one as we've just lost the easiest one we had (on paper) left. 1 more should be enough for us but we'll certainly not be troubling the top 4

Shocking thread Miss B, we will pick it up, put Connor centre Wray in the halves and leave out Griffin, we will be fine the gap is a big 8 points with 8 games to go Catalans or Huddersfield have to win nearly every game which won't happen.

Catalans (a) - They've been rubbish but so have we, gotta throw it about, offload, off the cuff, for a chance (loss).
Wigan (h) - 3 points behind us but likely to be above us after this fixture. (loss).
Salford (a) - Could be another mullering, just at the AJ instead of the KC! (loss).
Wakefield (h) - A sniff but there going well, if we've lost the three above, gonna struggle (draw).
Castleford (a) - Might just stay in The Lion and get p!seed. Will be less painful and some rock chicks to look at (heavy loss)..
Saints (a) - Some have as new favs for GF after their world was falling apart two weeks ago (loss).
Leeds (a) - Par for the Headingley course (loss).
Giants (h) - Let them beat us as long as long as Broughy promises an extra time drop goal winner in the MPG against Rovers (loss).

A bit?



A bit!

Liberace's wardrobe was a bit on the dramatic side.

A half pounder and double fries is a bit over the top.
