if you beat wakefield and kr beat warrington its defo back on, if other way round it will be all but over

Yet another key player injured in this wretched season. It's amazing that we're still in fifth, credit to the coaching staff and fringe players.

We have to win one of the next two or it's a distinct possibility that we'll go in to the Super 8s seven points behind Warrington with a significantly inferior points difference. As it stands we are likely to face trips to Saints, Warrington and Cas with Wigan coming to the KCom.

Very disappointing after the highs of the last two years but we have to hope that we have much better luck in 2019 with injuries.

Not in any way dismissing what this team have achieved in terrible injury circumstances this year, summed up by the cup defeat at Saints which was magnificent. Losing Connor & Sneyd and with Kelly strapped up though is difficult enough but also if Faraimo gets a ban we are missing 1, 2, 4, and 5 with 3 (Carlos) playing busted. Wakefield are scrapping for the 8s with home advantage so just can't see anything but a heavy defeat. This isn't being negative just realistic - it's great that we're safe and that's a praiseworthy achievement itself given the context.

The potential of this side is strong. In the backs we have Griffin who was exceptional until injury, Connor with an international breakthrough, Carlos all class and playing with a knock, Talanoa top SL try scorer until injury and Faraimo who's settling great in now but just needs to sort his discipline, MoS nominee Albert Kelly and double Lance Todd winner Marc Sneyd. We have a very good squad but just can't them on the pitch.

We had a good dig last night.
Losing our double winning Wembley captain compounded by our horrendous injury woes has done for us I'm afraid.

Yes, although to be fair Taylor I think is taking on the Ellis captaincy mantle.

Is a good first choice 17 next year with the likes of Miloudi, Masi, Fash, Downs, Turgut, Lane, Scott, Harris all gaining loads of SL experience this year. Feeling positive already.

Proud of the players last night. The fact they scored 4 tries in the 2nd half whilst we had men out of the line getting treatment just shows the issues we have had all season. Green injuring his back on the bloody sideline! Thought Abdull played well, his passing accuracy and speed is something we missed.

Sounds mad to say it, but at full strength we beat them last night and in the cup

Why? You keep telling us injuries are no excuse.

I thought play had to stop straight away for head/neck injuries, clearly the ruling has now changed.

There was a lot of inconsistency last night. Ruck was managed differently for both sides - an obvious flop by Richardson in the 2nd half goes unpunished and then Lane penalised a few moments later. Every one of their knocks seemed to stop play whereas we had to play on and they took advantage

Some good performances last night from Jansin, Buretta, and the booming left peg of Jordan Abdul, AK super effort, keep going boys it’s been a nightmare season for injuries, all we ask is give it your best shot, and last night they did just that, come on yu ull.
