I agree injuries have played apart of your season and I am sure you would be up with the top 4 if not in it if you had different circumstances.. But, are people seriously giving excuses for todays performance? Injuries or not no super league team should be getting 60+ past them by another super league side

Agreed that there are drama queens out in force today but then come out with that pearler above and also criticised Radford and the team yourself which 1 is it? Why don't you just form your own opinion? Or do you continually agree with the favourable populous?
I don't necessarily think this season has shown the youngsters aren't good enough to be in the squad. But it has shown they aren't yet at the level where we can call on them to lead us. Just one or two of them in a strong squad is fine. They compliment the team and bring something to the table. But when you have 5 or 6 of them and you are asking them to play important roles. Well they just aren't at that level. The jury is out on whether they will be in the future.
I still have hopes for good things from Masi, but he looks worn out. Litten is arguably the pick of the bunch and its a shame we havent seen too much of him. Abdull is also a talent who I hope we continue to work with. Scott seems to have something about him. Turgut, Fash, Downs and Lane are probably destined to never be anything more than average, but we need squad players and they will do a job. Logan, as much as I respect him for his perseverance through his injuries, just doesn't offer anything for me.
Those who feel injuries should not make a difference then IMO you have no idea about the game. Bringing young kids in to cover the odd injury now and then in a team with only a couple of injuries can work ,put these young kids in week on week with many big names missing its never going to work . I agree the youngsters are not Sl level yet if we had A team matches they would have developed a lot better. Make no mistake yesterday was humiliating and the full side let everyone down including themselves but the reaction is way overs the top ,fans fighting, spitting swearing at players, Radford /Pearson out, slating individuals, its poor i was going to put the Samaritans number on fans forum most sound suicidal ..get over it its done back your club

100% this! Some posters expectations of these youngsters are unrealistic for week in and week out SL
