2 days turnaround is NOT the problem, we have same thing come easter,

April
2 Featherstone Rovers A 7.30pm
5 Toulouse H 6pm
8 Keighley Cougars H 7.30pm

so what do we do now, start making excuses?

No, I don't think the turnaround is the sole reason we lost the game.

However, of course it will have had an bearing on todays result. If you think the players were back to full health after 2 days after having a big game against Widnes then its just ridiculous. If you have ever played rugby I'm sure you will be aware of how your body feels after a game!

Why can't you play the day after the football? Leigh have today and there were also 3 games on consecutive days on our pitch over the CC weekend.

too many of the 2nd string haven't had enough game pre-season game time.

one things for sure we cant play that bad again!

Please do next week

You'll know when you see the pitch next sunday. It's a complete mess.

All I'm saying is the ground staff may not want us to play the next day as they may not be able to repair it as they'll only have a morning and afternoon before the night game. Since we don't own it, it's not up to us.

If the pitch was in a good state, it wouldn't be an issue.

Can't argue much with pinball today, we played badly, Hunslet played well. We looked like we thought we only needed to turn up to win in the first half, injuries didn't help and I thought MC didn't play enough experienced players today, we could have done with a Larder or the like out there just to steady the ship. On the whole I thought Hunslet deserved the victory although we should have had a penalty try when Chapman tried to decapitate Branighan.

On the plus side, the lineswomen was lovely and she didn't get a decision wrong all game.

in some ways that could be good for us.

its not the main concdern even if we would have all loved to have gone to Blackpool.

if we had of some how escaped with the place in the next round.

if we had of got through, the performance might have been swept under the carpet abit, now we have lost it has to be addresed.

i know he's only 1 player but i can't help but think if shad had been there today, we would be in the next round.

Was Royston injured or rested?

flu i heard

Garbage that. We haven't taken this competition seriously since we came down from SL. The only game where i've seen them go all out was last year against Widnes at home - which we lost



Whatever the excuses - you can't dick around in these competitions if you want to progress - no matter who the opposition. Well done Hunslet today and Fax need to cut out the errors. We're like headless chickens sometimes - panic panic panic.

Disappointed to say the least.
