GRIM WEEKEND!!!!
Two derby defeats and everyone will be smelling the coffee. A tight relegation battle with London. The Magic weekend fixture will be vital in protecting our SL status.
HOW THE HELL DID WE GET IN THIS MESS??????

Conversely, Win both games over the weekend and other results go our way we could be climbing the table.

This board is a depressing read sometimes!

To be honest I really don't know what to expect.

Have we the ability? Yes.
Will be play to our full capability? - In Patches.
Are we actually going to put together a decent defensive showing? - Heres hoping!

If we had Merrin and Ava I'd be more comfortable but, we are where we are.

3 more straight losses and he'll be done - and rightly so.

Really surprised so many people are saying Handley should be dropped. The lad's top scorer in the league playing for the bottom team who have been woeful - if that's not enough to earn a starting place in a team full of under-performers then there's no hope for anyone.

You do realise the role of his centre partner don't you? you could score a poop load outside him. Number of try's scored is irrelevant, performance is paramount.

In truth though, the last couple of games, you would drop Briscoe before him.

They are missing half a team, and not just anybody either. If that is tough, then we are worse off than even the most pessimisic think.

If you are comparing Newman's performance with Watkin's last week then it should be Newman at centre tomorrow.

The worry is that we keep saying if we win the following games we should be ok, however, we are not winning these games. It is a real shame Merrin and Ava aren't available as they would have really helped our cause.

If he stopped flying out of the line and being constantly out of position it would be a start.
