Can't see us getting a point now.I wrote off our chances of the middle 8s middle season though,so am hoping I'm consistantly wrong.
Anyone know the extent of Johno's injury ?

He tweeted last night that he would be fit for next game

Thanks.Great news.

Not gone well for Leigh so far. Saturday was one of their bankers, apparently.

But they haven't played a Championship team so far. So beware. I'd still tip them to lose the Million Pound Game come October.

Bradford beating Salford so easily is a worry. Particularly if Gaskell didn't play???

Bitterly disappointing losing to Sheff but time to regroup and go again. As good as Murrell and Johnno are, we need a real door-opener next season if we are to convert these monumental defensive efforts.

Anyone thinking ahead to next year in terms of potential targets? Rob Worrincy anyone?

Would not have let him go for me but agree we need someone I the halves with pace, Scott has had a great season but he would have had another bagful of tries with just a bit more zip to add to his guile.

I agree. Obviously the Rob situation became untenable really but for him to bag 6 against us smarts and cost us dear this week (3).

Johnno has a big future in my opinion but we do need exactly what you say "zip" - like Penky in his pomp, we just don't have a smart scooter. I like Ben Kaye but he would benefit from watching Penky on reruns, pushing the line when yards are needed and also on the line of course.

We ought to remember we're probably still ahead of where expected to be, this season was always about foundations and improvement, we've got that in spades.

I see no reason why we can't put in 4 great displays and still raise eyebrows (not the PED type) and aim to win a couple of games, entertain the fans and keep building. A strong finish, a good off season, more improvement and squad strengthening and were good to go.

We need this competition to be a success just as much as our own, it's our ticket to the next level, a few results that don't go as we expected won't do too much harm in the long run if we focus on the things that got us this far.

And whilst I could never support Bradford or Leigh, by beating and pushing SL sides they have validated the competition.

Time to show a bit of class as fans and say well done Sheffield as they beat us fair and square after their own horror run, now it's our turn to reverse the trend and dig in and battle smarter and harder. Nothing has changed, we should still aim to compete and try to win every game with everyone on side.

I'm staying off the player analysis for a few more weeks too, we've supported them all season so let's give them chance to kick on and ply their trade with confidence and security, they've earned that in my opinion.
