They had no stand off and a full back who was injured during the game. We were as bad as each other i guess.

Yeah, they got a good 65 minutes out of Greenshields though didn't they, played a wonderful part in their final try. A lot of teams getting some crucial injuries this season, seems more then ever.

So when would you give Brierley his chance? Against Wigan? Against Quins? There's arguments for and against every single game he could play in the first grade. Or do we just not play him at all?

I think the fact that he hasn't been included in any squads so far this season suggests he's not ready for Super League in the eyes of TM and the management but if he's ever going to replace Mr Sherwin he's got to be given a chance to prove himself.

If there is any confidence in his ability we should not see playing him against Barrow as a risk anyway.

The problem with bringing youngsters through is fans demand wins, it's hard to see the positives of giving a youngster a chance to play if it comes at a cost.

I don't really know the answer to this one, I'm just thinking out loud.

How about the last few games of the season?

What if we're chasing a playoff position?

I don't want to sound overly cynical but I doubt we will be.

I doubt it.

I think we will be.

We've played a lot of tough games so far this season. The next 6-10 games should see us with a much better chance of picking up some wins, particularly as players return from injury.

A complete no show yesterday. On the bench first half and did absolutely nothing instrumental second half.

Not worth the wage for what he plays

Not worth anything mate, clearly busted up and needs to retire. At the moment sherwin is just getting his wage for nothing. Is he even traaining yet ???? he should hang up his boots and let us look elsewhere..... our squad is not big enough to carry passengers.

why do the club still have big coaches to take the team to various away matches? surely a mini bus would save the club cash with the size of our squad!

That's twice I've seen this comment from you and I have to wonder, are you having a laugh?

26th March, Home vs Crusaders
2nd April, Away at Wakefield
5th April, Home vs St Helens
9th April, Away at Huddersfield
25th April, Home vs Salford
2nd May, Edingburgh Magic vs Catalans
16th May, Away at Harlequins
23rd May, Home vs Hull
6th June, Away at Wigan
13th June, Home vs Catalans

Out of the next 10 matches there are 4 matches we can be reasonable confident about, I wouldn't be surprised if we even managed to lose at least one of the favourable ones.

Yes. St Helens, Wigan, Huddersfield and Hull, but what about the rest?

Got to agree with you there Temp. The games you'd like to think we will win are Salford Wales Quins and 1 if not both games against France. That would give us 5/10. Would love to make it 6 V Wakey but that will take some doing. The rest, I can't see us getting anything.

I think there are 5 games we really should be quite confident about. I think we can beat Wakey too.

Compare those with the opening 7 games

Away vs Leeds
Home vs Wire
Away vs Bradford
Home vs KR
Away vs Hull
Away vs Catalans
Home vs Wigan

Catalans being the only game I was overly confident about us winning.

I said that if you compare our start to our upcoming 6-10 games we have a much better chance of picking up some wins, which I don't really think anyone can argue with. So to answer your question, no I'm not having a laugh.
