Were in the top 10 yayyyyy and we've conceded less than Leigh have scored, I'd say theres plenty to be positive about.
1 Were not bottom
2 We dont have the worst defence in the league
3 The side immediately above us are poor

I'm not at all concerned about the fact the only side below us are French and have already beaten us, and will be spared execution

Anyone who thought we had turned the corner after last week is seriously deluded. Today was a poor performance against a lacklustre Barrow team.

Lets go through the team:-

Greenwood - I thought he had his best game since his return from injury.
White - Looked lively and got through a lot of work.
Haley - Usually steady but all the tries while he was on the pitch came down his side. We must be short if he keeps his place for next week.
Nash - Steady but missed a few tackles.
Worrincy - Got through a load of work again.
Hollroyd - I was embarrased when he pulled out of that 50/50 ball in the second half and a very average game overall.
Jones - Honestly whos idea was it for us to sign him? Passing is average at best and his discipline terrible.
Gannon -See above.
Penky - Good coach? Ah Penky you had your best game in weeks for us when you played 80 minutes, i know i will just give you 40 minutes this week. See the momentum go out of the team when he goes off. Feel sorry for him that the players around him arnt performing with the amount of effort and desire he puts in.
Cherryholme - Only real go forward forward today.
Clayton - Steady at best.
Smith - Why?
Barlow - One of his better games this season.
Chandler - Looks to be getting better.
Fairbank - Didnt notice him.
Beswick - Not sure where he fits in to the team.
Watene- 10 minutes before half time and 7 minutes after half time, no team can afford to carry passengers but for some reason MC thinks we can carry about 5.

We are paying the price of Matt Callands poor recruitment in the summer. We are not in a false position, we are exactly where we deserve to be. We have more coaches than players and im not sure what purpose they all serve. We wont see any improvement in the short term and watching Bradford put 80 on us in front of National television is going to be painful to watch. The crowds will keep dwindling but the board cannot act until they know what is happening with the SL application. By then we will be well and truly in a relegation dog fight.

I can't disagree with ANY of those player assessments.

That's pretty much it.

I may be a knob sometimes and people will disagree with a lot that i say but i always try to be honest in my assesment.

I can't believe though that we are where wd are! There is still enough quality in that squad to beat some of the sides we've lost to this season. Calland has never seemed to be able to get the side worked up and passionate! When ever we say the BS in the paper we generally play pi$$ poor the next game!! I'm feeling totally disillusioned right now

Can't fault that GFB but the big question is where do we go from here?. Our chances of Super League chances ,are fast dissapearing, we are looking at a potential humiliation on national tv next Sunday, a coach who looks like a dead man walking with a squad who either can't or won't play for him. With a £350k salary cap I don't think there would be much room for manovering even if replacements were avaliable. We have been rumbled, other sides have worked out how to stop us and we don't know what to do next.

We haven't had a plan B for nearly 3 seasons but had players to dig us out of a hole!! They just don't seem to want to do that either this year!! It's the lethargy and lack of pride I hate

Sad as it is after last season but we fight like mad to avoid relegation. Realistically the league is over for us and we will have to fight to stay up but we have a big Semi Final over at Fev to look forawrd to and maybe just maybe the players can produce another big performance and we can make it to another showcase event. Thats what we have to cling to for the minute.

Oh and our kicks to touch - whats that all about. Might be something worth working on. On second thoughts with our defence maybe put that on the back burner for the time being.

We can all see our best games are with penky doing 80 mins, how the chuff Calland can't see it beats me?

There are less and less of us seeing it every week now. Crowds will drop below 1500 soon and then we will be in total freefall.

I agree with a fair bits that's been said. What I found disappointing about today was for the first hour or so we wernt all that bad. We built a useful 18-6 lead , saw barrow come back to level things up and then regain the lead. Ok we gave away a couple of soft try's and threw some loose passes but I thought our commitment and attitude was good. It was just the last quarter that annoyed me. We seem to be masters of imploding in the latter stages of games. Whether it's down to our fitness that isnt good enough or a mental thing but when was the last time we played well in the last quarter ? On a playing front cherryholme and White were our best players today
