St. Helens v London
Leeds v Wigan
Catalans v Salford
Bradford v Warrington
Huddersfield v Castleford
Hull KR v Widnes
Wakefield vHull FC

If we can get a result away at wakey in the next round we could be upto fifth with the league looking very tight from 4th to 9th

Wakey game at home

My bad

Professional performance against a very poor side today, but still can't help but feel we are in a false position in the league. We've had a run of easier games at home, and have yet to win an away game.

we'll finish 8th at best IMO

The team has room to improve though, I hope we try to give players like Miller, Rankin and Crooks some time to develop instead of dropping them at the drop of a hat. It was a good sign Miller didn't get dropped today.

Don't think that we had any injuries today, with a week off Radfords going to have some selections decisions to make for Wakey.

I don't really get that. We might finish 8th, but it's very negative.

I have been hugely frustrated by some of points we've wasted this year, but thats mainly because I know there's a very good side in there somewhere. We do need to address our away form, but we've lost our last 3 on kicking by an average of 2 points.

4th to 10th is wide open. Hudds and Warrington are avarage this year. Catalans can't win away, Rovers always play well this time of year and fizzle out, Salford are a one man team, and Widnes and Cas will struggle to maintain their starts. Even Saints look to have hit the buffers.

The close defeats are tough to take, but we are there or there abouts. If we had a top class kicker we could well be top 3 now.

Unduly negative by a long way for me!
We've lost 4 when scoring same amount of tries! Virtually gone all season so far without a remotely full strength back line. Just getting some rhythm in the halves and got yet more forwards back by next few games!
Saints Leeds are front runners. Rest well open.

We are exactly where we should be, and will finish exactly where we should finish. That's how a league system works. No point in second-guessing where we might be if we'd played a different mix of games - might as well start looking at where we might be if we'd had a little more luck in the games we've actually played.

I don't think I'm being negative, I think I am being realistic, if we keep on playing with our 'win one, lose one' form, we will be in the bottom half.

I do agree that there are a lot of other teams with their issues around us, but until I start to see us win away, and put a few wins together in a row I'll remain downbeat about our chances.
