It wasnt and they did.Get over it

What will worry fans is that Wigan and Leeds are heading in the opposite direction. They are timing their form perfectly for the business end of the season. I fear for us playing against them at the moment. Widnes are a tough proposition at home and it is no discrace losing to Warrington, but our form has been poor since our good Easter period. Mac needs to give our guys a wake-up call.

He has been gash at conversion kicking so far this season.Please Mr Hetherington acquire a quality kicking coach to try to turn a pigs ear into a silk purse before it costs us in the matches that really matter.

And in both games, because they out-muscled us physically and that was the cue for certain players to go into hiding. Same as the first 20 minutes of the second half at Saints, and the second half of both games against Huddersfield.

As soon as it starts to get tasty, we lose our composure and discipline and get more interested in chelping at referees.

Don't why we are so shocked, it's a McDermott team speciality to have a complete regular season capitulation. it's happened for a few seasons now.

But in our defence our game vs Saints flattered to deceive as we are both depleted due to Injury's and as soon as we play full strength teams we are found wanting. We desperately need Hall and Briscoe back

Yes just seen that recently and we do seem to have a better run in than most at home.
The only trouble with that is our home is no longer a fortress and we can still be beat at home unfortunately.
Having said all that I would have taken this position at the start of the season of course as I thought we would struggle to make the top 4.

www.superleague.co.uk/report/11183 Stats from the game. Singleton, and Cuthbertson need resting IMO, both are looking shot at the moment. Separately, I think Walters should get a run of games because Ablett's form this season has been very disappointing.

Great , so an inexperienced lightweight such as Walters is the answer

33 missed tackles and 14 errors isn't going to win you many games, irrespective of the opposition.

How many minutes did Singleton get, or did he get an injury? Stats very light for a starting prop, though keep saying he's more effective off the bench.

Singleton went off after about 20 minutes of the first half and didn't come back. Monster stats from JP & Delaney as per.

Just seen the highlights of your game. That advantage allowed by Bentham was nearly as good as Mellor's step on Hardaker.

The try by Chris Dean was massively questionable whether he grounded it though.

The last Widnes try was ridiculous.

Pathetic defending and WTF was Mags doing for that last try?

Welcome Josh Walters back with charity minutes. Pointless.

If you're not in McDermott's senior inner-circle, he doesn't trust you and won't play you unless he really has to.

Just ask Mulhern and Yates.
