| The position though is that pretty much the Salford game doesn't matter, because we all know we aren't going to win it, and points difference isn't a factor.
It's panning out just as anticipated, especially by the bookies, and assuming we have no chance of beating any of the SL clubs, then the target is 5th, which basically requires a home win v. Fax as a "given", then we have to beat Leigh, and that gets us into the playoff game, against a SL team. Where whatever you think, the bookies will have us at around 5/1 outsiders and barring miraculous events, I just do not think this team has it in them to win, because we have proved that our pack is simply not able to even remotely hold a SL pack - even Wakefield's - and that whupped pack is your answer. You can't win when your pack is reversing down the field with its pants down being spanked and bullied off the park.
I would dearly love to be wrong about that pack, but recent weeks have been pointing to this as the main factor, and the Wakefield debacle proved it for me. If they can actually at least compete and fight with a SL pack, then the question would have to be why they completely capitulated against Wakey, when we had our only realistic chance of a SL scalp.
And don't forget we have our powder-puff pack to thank for Gaskell being injured, as the only reason he was desperately defending by our posts was the pack's open-door policy.

| All I'm sayin is you can't call out any player for not doing whatever job Jimmy had given them, after that performance. Lauaki was part of the team that did it, and you have to assume he did what Jimmy asked. We did what most said wasn't possible, not just beat but slaughtered a SL club, and that's a situation where you have to give the benefit of any doubt to each player that was part of it.

| Didnt someone mention on here that they should be doing that haha
On Lauaki, i think he is worth keeping and when he is on form he is very good, quick feet for a big man with some speed to boot, always seems to be looking for a gap
