It doesn't matter who's got the best halves, or the best threequarters, or the best forwards, or the best defence. Quite simply, the team who wins will be the team that shows that they really WANT to win.

Not quite. But a loss on Sunday would put us too far gone from the play offs

Basically.

Hull have to lose last three and we have to beat KR, Cru and Wakey.

I'm not sure I'd back this side to win 3 out of 4 games... nevermind hoping that Hull won't pick up any more points out of their last 3 games.

I have to say I am a little disappointed with this year under Potter. I thought we might have seen a steady improvement during the course of 2011 but it just hasn't happened. It's just be another season of inconsistent performances. I honestly thought that we had enough quality in our squad to make the play offs this year.

Perhaps Potter underestimated just how much of a mess this team is in when he took over.

Not just that, but teams deal with injuries better, and also the side just isnt good enough, seemed like the norm from recent years where we are signing crap to replace other crap. and so far this year out of our new signings for the 2012, Lulia is the only one who looks good ( watched him a few years). Purtell has been playing wing and most definately playing centre for us, Sammut will lose us more games than he will win us.
Just hope now Potter will have had 2 seasons worth of signings to sort out his spine and build around it that we will see an improvement and move towards the new style of rugby and progress

I also think he's been extremely conservative. He appears to have seen Herbert as a defensively safer option with a competent kicking game. in games where it's poured with rain this seems to have worked but otherwise it hasn't. Considering the way he's chopped and changed the entire back line it seems odd that the only constant (when fit) was Herbert. There was a strong case for Briggs but an even stronger one for putting BJ at 7, Kearney at 6 and Royston at FB. With few exceptions, the team has played very little actual rugby - inside balls, flat crash passes, rarely have we seen the ball move from one flank to the other. Above all, it's been dull.
