Wonder if due to our form and prospect of relegation will stop us signing new players for next season, due to not knowing what league we’ll be playing in . Then if we do stay up , all the decent players that were available will be snapped up .

A loss at Wakey in the next couple of weeks then I really do think we will be favourites fur bottom spot on what we’ve seen dished up so far. The only hope we have left is the return of Clifford & Hoy with the addition of Trueman.
Wouldn't surprise me if Wakefield sacked Applegarth before we play them and promoted James Ford, a highly rated young coach.
As you say lets hope that Hoy and Clifford hit the form they showed in the first couple of games and that Trueman doesn't take too long to get into his stride.
Quite right I can't see this team beating Wakey at their place in what will be their cup final. However reading this thread I admire all the talk of us actually surviving a season in the lower divisions. If, as looks likely at present, we were to go down its debatable whether we would actually survive the process financially and even if we do we would lose all our good players (Super League contracts become null and void if you go down) and our youth systems would be decimated as would the progression we are building so well for the potential of youngsters feeding into the first team. Relegation would therefore see our IMG rating go down considerably. Only Leigh (who have had hundreds of thousands thrown at team building) look likely to survive the first year after promotion after years of clubs yo yoing up and down. The only answer to the doomsday scenario is for us to stay up. Something radical has to be done to keep us up and done soon! Why? Well Sadly if it comes to a two or three way dogfight at the bottom come the last 7 or 8 games of the season I can't see this lot having the heart to get us through and keep us up. The middle games of the season are critical for us.

That's what has been niggling away at me SteveO.The sseemingly unconcern of the situation from the hierarchy at the club and the willingness to just let TS get on with it irrespective of the week on week losses. Do you think that they have had the nod that IMG plan for non relagation has been brought forward to 2023.Even with just a year out of Super League would be disastrous. Just a thought or am I clutching at straws.

Hull will give us a tough game but the key is to silence their fans in the Threepenny Stand.We have to do this because if we do'nt they will get behind their side and lift them in a way you've never seen,heard or witnessed before.

Another reason for our demise has been our lack of quality youngsters coming through
Likes of lane, fash, Brown, bowden, matongo, Wynne, Scott, mcnamara are all bang average
Even fash and Brown won't get close to a England call up
