| Quote Saddened!="Saddened!"Catalans v Leigh final, unless one or both choke. Saints are out of it this year. Just too much disruption to ever get into anything like decent form. Wigan are terrible but at least have the x-factor of French.'"
I can’t see Leigh doing much after the challenge cup final which is the way it usually goes. Especially if they win it. My guess would be a Cats - Wigan GF or maybe Saints if Wigan choke it.

| Quote CW8="CW8"All of those games are winnable if we do all of the basics well, make the defence more aggressive with a line which cuts the space down quickly, have a kicking game that causes the oposition some problems, and cut the silly errors. That said we are quite a way off from doing any of that at the minute.
These are professional players, there should be no real reason why they can't do all of that and compete to win these matches. Maybe we need a really good sport psychologist? This team needs to learn to trust themselves and each other again or we are done for the season already. How depressing.'"
This, with addition of support the ball carrier in attack. It's so obvious which problems to remedy that will have the most impact*, that's causing the frustration with me and no doubt many others. I think this season is done, but would be delighted should that not be the case.
*Without needing to be Wayne Bennett, or have a full collection of coaching badges.

| Quote sally cinnamon="sally cinnamon"Duck used to say that every year when Steve Price was here but I'm not sure he predicted it about Powell's teams.'"
I would always say Wire because I simply can’t bet against my own club, however even I gave up under Powell last season because of the shat show of recruitment, especially the lacking of a quality pack, in particular props.
I gave DP only the benefit of doubt this season, and had to assume that these very core club players ousted, were in fact the infectious disease they were made out to be. I’m shamed by that.
This season seems like a mash up of everything off the back of what happened last season.
I’d love a candid opinion from a current player about what has gone utter toxic.

We still wouldn't win owt with that line up.

You never know I mean Dudson is not in that line up.

I would have thought it obvious that I meant that those were the options, but a lesson learned. The prop options, as listed above, are in preference order and ideally deployed 3 at a time, 3 starters with 3 in rotation, with Clark and Walker alternating at 9 with Currie and Nicholson at 11/12. That is the pack that could get you in a decent contest.

I knew what you meant and fact you left Dudson out was good, when I saw this weeks line up I was surprised to see Crowther at 13 and not Nicholson seeing that it’s his preferred position.

Wasn’t expecting Salford to be beating Saints though when I looked at the remaining fixtures.

| Wire: A Leeds, A Hull, H Cas, A Salford, H Saints, A Giants
Hull: A Wigan, H Wire, H Leeds, A Cas, H Giants, A Saints
Giants: A Saints, H Salford, H Leeds, A Leigh, H HkR, A Hull, H Wire
HKR: A Saints, H Leigh, H Catalan, A Giants, H Salford, A Wakefield
So 5th and 6th up for grabs and I think it’s down to these 4. Looking at the fixtures I would say HKR have the toughest run in plus they have the cup final.

| Quote Wires71="Wires71"Immediate changes we could make to improve matters (in my view)
Ratch to fullback, Dufty dropped.
Dudson dropped and replaced by a chocolate teapot
Drinkwater dropped and replaced by a glass hammer
Matautia dropped. My gran (who's been dead since 1985) could do better
Currie to centre if required.'"
I've fixed your mistakes.
You can thank me later

And they'd advise that we should increase the 28 players to at least 34.
