You only have to look at Hull as an example.
They had less injuries than us in the past couple of years but suffered massive defeats as a result and fell right out of top group despite having way more money invested in their squad than us.
When they get players back they are now well in the top 5 race..... Except against Hull KR of course but some are saying some players came back too early anyway.

We can complete when we get players back and the team is settled again. It doesn't just happen overnight on their first game every time.

In a decent side, when you lose players, others step up and work harder to fill the hole but, this can only ever be a short term thing and then, if players dont return (and even when they do), those that have upped their game are just too knackered to keep lifting themselves.
When you throw in the dreaded "lack of confidence", the downward spiral continues.
Initially, we did incredibly well at coping, which just shows how committed everyone is/was and I dont think that were too far away.

As long as we dont pick up any knocks early in the game, I think we will be ok tonight.

Home advantage will be the difference and that bit is up to the fans

Agree with a lot of what you say.......but! the problem for me at London was the attitude, no matter how many injuries you have, we turned up there undercooked, half-hearted in all we did, apart from the touch and pass when the game was gone! It will always bother me the way we lost, not the fact we did actually lose. Lines have to be drawn under the sand eventually though, from now on it has to be a mini season, with full on effort and commitment, and who knows......but another but! if we don't win tonight and Leeds win on Sunday, then we really are in a serious battle..... I doubt there can be many excuses if we lose tonight.

Lest take the season as a whole. We have won 8 games and 4of those were down to a one man cameo by David Fifita. First game of season was full fit squad and that game was shocking. Some mention HKR at home, yes I agree also shocking and with full squad. To me the game I pick out is the second time at London, After the first game we should have learned lessons, but no, we put in a display that was absolutely inexcusable.

Will we win tonight, not as confident as some of you.


However if we loose, I cant see any other way out of this mess other than getting in a fresh coach.


First season Chester had Kear, second season Monaghan, this season on his own and its starting to look like a total car crash. Injuries are bad, but they are only masking the real problem.


So hoping for a win and clinging on to a place in SL by the seasons end.

Agreed sold pity is not a virus to be revelled in.

I remain optimistic until the scoreboard says otherwise, not that I’m confident either but you have to draw a line in the sand.

It’s not saying much but it’s the best half we have managed in a while. It’s poor but a better quality poor.

Again it not effort it’s the basics. Randall and Hampshire the pick MCB having a mare I’m afraid.
