We've won 4 out of 5 this season but at least three of those games (Hudds, Hull KR & Cas) we've been helped massively by either a depleted squad or an in-game injury. I honestly think we'd of lost to that shambles of a Hull KR side had Kelly stayed on. With injuries to Swift and Percival our backs look really ordinary and i think it will be a case of you dont know what you have till it's gone with Swift who still seems to split opinion. Add in the insistence by KC of this Turner at 6 project of his and we have the prospect of a horrific backline in the next few weeks.

First half against an admittedly atrocious Wakefield there seemed to be a conscious effort to throw the ball about and it was entertaining. The second wasn't so great. The atmosphere was one of the worst i can remember, i think it was on the 60 minute mark a song was first sung. Largely you can just hear people talking about their tea, twitter or the other games. People i speak to seem to feel an obligation to go rather than a want to.

We seem to just be plodding along at the moment playing an effective way that will see us in and around the top 4 but at what cost? I think if we can win 3 or 4 of the next 5 playing a decent brand of rugby the atmosphere will pick up and fans will give him more time. I'm not so sure it will happen but i'll be there at every one hoping for a change. Although i don't begrudge anyone for not going.

When they used to interview Daniel Anderson before a game, he would often say "they'll have to play at their very best to beat us". He instilled so much self belief into us and the players believed it. Seeing Wellens screaming at our players to fire them up when they were lining up their conversions was a bit embarrassing...not on Wellens cos the lad's a legend, but rather that he felt he had to do it because nobody else was. I'm a fan of Wilkin and I'm not going to slag him off, but I'm not sure he's got all the lads behind him and when he threw the ball down in frustration that was very telling. It was relatively early on in the game yet he appeared incredibly frustrated.

I'm not sure what's going on. I don't know any of the players nor do I know anyone who has any inside info but it seems to be that them lads are not all in it together. The Hull players the other week asked the coaches to leave them alone for 10 minutes whilst they sorted a few issues out. I hope our lads can do the same because I think they need to.

have you been swallowing Keirans positivity in adversity'we can do it'pills?
You must be a statue fan"How can our leader be bad if he has a statue"?

Once the Easter pasting is complete,Wires and Widness the dissilusionment will reach a crescendo,who do you suggest to plug the gap?Daryll Powell?poaching Dennis Betts?Brian Smith (no im joking).

Interesting point...especially the Wilkin moment in the first couple of minutes. I thought it was an odd reaction at the time.

And then we had Wellens bawling and shouting on the touchline later, I don't think the players and the coaching team are one entity. Maybe the players know this conservative style of playing is far too restrictive and is spoiling there natural playing instincts, the frustration is showing up in quite a few players now especially Walmsley.
.
He has gone from being in the top 3 for tackle busting last season to being one of the worse this season, just watch the games and you can see Walmsley is being used more as a decoy runner (a la Mose) and Walmsley doesn't like it.
