| Listened to it on BBC radio Cumbria and we were never in it.
With Bulls and Batley both losing damage limitation is down to the points difference gap closing.
All down to Fax v Batley and Bulls v Whitehaven next week to see who finishes where.

| Quote Ohmetoe="Ohmetoe"I suppose the fact of the likes of london going part time it suddenly causes you to reflect on just where the sport is heading . They have tried their best with london over many years , had a successful financier but still the club as a business concept just hasn't cracked it . I just dont feel anyone in the sport has a direction for professional clubs to aspire to .'"
London's fiscal management is diabolical. They are losing some central funding but are almost certainly spending more than the loss on increased rent.... One can only assume that Hughes' wealth was achieved by luck rather than financial acumen.

| Disappointing to go down without really firing a shot - We knew the circumstances but couldn't do anything about it.
Robinson coming on with 20 mins left @ hooker? Why does he persist with his brother at scrum-half is baffling, unless Robinson was injured. Speaking on injuries, getting a little miffed about the lack of communication AGAIN about where some players have been for several weeks, namely Rawsthorne and Jones and you can add Harris to that list now. If we can finish third, had a really good season. It seems like a coin toss as both Bulls and Batley have also lost their last two.
In terms of who needs to be replaced or need better:
Grix (Should retire)
Kavanagh (Maybe one more season at a push)
Garside (Not good enough)
Not sold on the Davies boys
Need at least 4-5 new forwards, ideally, two-second rowers and two new props, assuming we keep Tangata, Larroyer, Calcott, Murray, Morris
Also, an out and out centre - Barber is not a centre
And please no loan signings to start the season.

| Just a totally flat performance really and we got totally out muscled by Haven which really comes as no surprise to anyone who has watched us since Springer and Bourough left. We now have to hope that Haven don't get in the top 6 if we beat Batley as our season will end there. Im sure the players would prefer the trip to France but the reality is if Batley beat us this week then they would probably beat us the week after in the play offs as well. Luckily for us it looks like Batley are in similar form to us so beating them should give us a win against London. Player wise yesterday just nobody stood out or stood up. I saw someone say Scott Grix has had a great season. If he has I really need to stop watching Rugby League because this really is a season too much for him. He was awful again yesterday poor kick selection, poor pass selection, numerous mistakes, but all forgotton because he broke the line for about the first time this season. Why Woody has been moved to centre when his tackling is the weakest part of his game is beyond me, he has to be at full back as he really is the only player we have with a bit of flair and quality in attack.
The good thing is we have a nucleus of a squad that should be near the top end of the table come next season. The question is what are we aiaming for. If it were top 2 then we would probably need 8 or 9 players who are improvements on the current squad so thats probably unrealistic so we are probably aiming for top 6 again in which case we probably still have to move a few on if we want to make top and be competitive come the end of the season.
Of the current squad I would say get rid of the following:-
Grix - a season too far. Davies twins - they try hard but they would not stand out in league 2. Sion Jones - Won't be on a lot of money but same as Davies twins. Robinson and Harris - Both not good enough for a team that wants to compete at the top of the table.
This just about leaves the following:-
Woody - Has to play fullback but clearly not a Grix type player. Salty, Worthington, McComb, Rawsthorne - Basis of a good back line but really need to add another quality centre. Add a centre it means McGrath could probably go. Fairbank, Barber, Kavanagh, Murray, Morris, Larroyer and Tangata - They are all ok but we really need someone who can break the line, we could keep all these if we added a nasty prop or two with some size.Calcott I think has easily been our best squad player and has shown promise, not sure why he hasn't played more. Add a couple of props and you end up with Garside as a squad player which is fine, that is the standard of squad player we need to aim for to be a good team. Having players who are not as good as some amateur players as squad players leads to the position we find ourselves in now with the season finishing with a whisper.

| On the way back got talking to some Hunslet supporters who got on at Workington who rated Harry Kidd very highly and were surprised Fax hadnt recalled him.

Is he still our player ?
Have to say GFB latest post is spot on -being saying most of it for weeks.The only disagreement I have is that our forwards need a severe cull.Tangata and the young guns Calcott/Morris apart-wouldn't be upset to see any of the others leave.

As far as I know Kidd is Hunslet's player but another with the likes of Brooks and Bennion who seem to be good at the lower level but not able to step up.
Agree with the forwards we have a lot who are very "vanilla" and wouldn't take much replacing. Nothing wrong with those sort of players though its just you need one or two who are above that level.

| It's a strange one isn't it? At the start of the season most Fax supporters would have taken a third place finish. Now it seems possible we appear determined to throw it away. We are three games away from a million pound game and the level of gloom and lack of expectation among most fans is alarming. We should be going into the Batley game beating our chests and building it up as the most important fixture for years. Instead nowt, not a whimper. All very strange.

Losing to the likes of newcastle, whitehaven in recent weeks is the reason behind this. Releasing players and not getting loans in to replace loan players who left when every other team seems to get loans in each week from sl. Lack of ambition

| Firstly i hope the person who needed medical treatment is ok that is never nice to see. As for the game Whitehaven were everything i hoped fax would be well organized and looked dangerous when moving the ball. Coming on to the ball at pace accurate crisp passing and running good lines. There halfbacks ran the show there forwards ran hard making plenty of meters after contact and to be honest everything they did with and without the ball they looked like a team. Where we looked like a bunch of individuals completely lost at times hoping for the season to come to a end anybody could have been mistaken for thinking they were in third spot. There number 13 was superb i would love to see a loose forward play like that for us. As for the rest of this season barring the top 2 and whitehaven the rest seem to be falling apart together. I just hope we can find a way to win next week get third spot but we need to find a injection of intensity from some were or our playoffs will be over before they have even got going. And the coach could start picking players in there best position that would help and cut the favoritism to his brother because he needs dropping.
