When we played against St,George (without Ellis) we looked like we could have a blinding season if we stuck to what we can do well and not feck about making the same old ridiculous errors and giving away dumb penalties.
We can't know really can we, he could have being injured anyhow (likely) he hasn't being much of a threat going forward since he joined us, great leader, very good defender but not on the pitch that much.
What is missing is some co-ordinated effort in terms of mental preparation, we simply make the same errors all the time and play dumb rugby and sound all over the shop atm.
Confidence could be lacking, certainly need to scrap a win somewhere.

Was there an easier away fixture this season on paper based on this weeks factors ?

As if it wasnt bad enough already we have gone behind Rovers in the table. Oh the shame of it all.

I'm not going to get too worried yet. Its an awfully long season and I am confident that when Houghton and Kelly are back firing and the weather improves we will see a big upturn, but we have to start picking up some results soon otherwise there is just going to be too much to do. Next week is one of those games where I couldnt care less how we play, we just need a win.

big game next week, hope we have Kelly back, rovers week after, maybe Houghton paea back ?

Absolute disgraceful result and that is probably the top four gone already IMO. Really cant see us losing only 5/6 games over the next 24 games.

Thought we had a poor pre season and the trip to Aus has being disruptive IMO.

1 Try from a kick against a really bad salford side says it all. Thought we would have learned from last season about starting slow, wont get away with it again.

saving ourselfs for a treble CC

Amazing that we have had our most successful period for over a generation despite having a captain who wasn't very good and a coach you do don't rate/like.

2 wins from 6. 4 away losses on the bounce. More injuries by the sounds of it. Not much to be positive about really.

Makes you wonder if all the players were behind the decision to bin watts

Looks like we will lose Shaul next week
Might be better on the attack having Kelly back and Connor linking from full back
Whatever we need the points.
Sneyds kicking has gone to pot and needs to improve and Minichello looks to me that he is playing with an injury.
A lot of work to do on attack in the opposition 20.We rely too much on a kick to the corner

No shame at all, Sheens said they’re targeting Top 4 internally.
