I was another who thought getting rid of lynch was massive mistake.

Whitehead is out of contract , we should be making a move for him, keep Feka and Paea.

Props of Paea, taylor, watts, Ellis and Feka.

Totally agree re Whitehead. Taylor looks a bit unfit this year but he's big and aggressive and will improve us no end.

He wasn't the only one by any means.

I still can't understand why we collapsed after a decent first half . Don't think we were as good as some think in the first half , hardly created anything considering the possession we had and how poor Leeds were but the defence second half was amateurish at best not sl standard. Tend not to go overboard after 1 bad result as most teams do have them , but more then usually, especially the top teams always seem to bounce back next game , but we never seem to . Expected it last night after Salford but not expecting it against Wigan as I think as a team were mentally weak minded and the attitude is so far of what's needed to succeed. If we could sort this out , it would help in us moving forward I think , but in players needed to help also I do think we need at least 1 top class centre and some props who will show some consistency game after game not once every 3/4 games . Apart from paea all the rest aren't good enough

We are a good team on paper, haven't decided whether I am going to go to Wigan, will see what 19 Radders names later in the week. We will gel at some point but I just cannot see a top 8 finish. 10/11th and four home games in the 8's will probably be where we'll end up.

Re: Pathetic, Abysmal ????.... : Sat Mar 07, 2015 12:39 pm  

If we finish 11th isnt it 3 home games

Correct. The teams that finish 9th and 10th get four home games and three away (as do the Championship clubs finishing 1st and 2nd)

Those finishing 11th and 12th get three home and four away, same as the Championship clubs in 3rd and 4th.

The team finishing bottom of Super League after 23 rounds will be at home to the 2nd, 3rd and 4th place Championship clubs and away to the other three SL clubs as well as the 1st placed Championship club. The team finishing 9th in SL will be at home to the top two Championship clubs and the bottom two from SL.

It's ranked so that the higher you finish the better draw (on paper) you get.

I don't expect anything at Wigan but the French often travel poorly so I wouldn't be writing that one off yet. If we can be 2 from 6 with a couple of good performances we can go into what is a nice run of winnable games with a bit of confidence, but if you are out of form they start to look a lot less winnable.

This really is Radfords last chance for me though. He has to start showing a bit of leadership to get us out of this slump. Top 8 is still well within our reach, but we've got to start stringing some performances together.

hopefully with no or only minor injuries.

Re: Pathetic, Abysmal ????.... : Sun Mar 08, 2015 2:19 pm  

We threw everything at Leeds and still only went in 12 nil up at halftime.
That is nothing against a team like Leeds.
The best we can hope for this season is 4th from bottom.
Until Pearson wakes up to the fact that Radford is not up to it , he may as well set fire to his money !!
