| Easily one of the worst performances I've seen given what was at stake.
I don't understand how a full time time loses so comfortably.
Clueless in attack and defence. So much dropped ball.
Don't want to pick anyone out, but was worried when announcer said Cameron smith was replaced by Vila.
League one and part Time rugby awaits. I'd bring in the latter now.

| i don't think I'll have the stomach for next year. We lost a raft of good talent with the Green farrago, we rebuilt to put together some good young lads with potential, but we have ed it all away through incompetence.
The thing is, it is inevitable that we will when we go down lose all our best young players. Again. And I for one can't face the thought.
There would of course have been a way - with money you can rip up the lower league same as Toronto have done - there is the stark, bleak difference between owners with money vision ambition and nous, and owners with seemingly no pot to pizs in, no finger on the pulse, and none of the above.
Sad days. We're down, and I'm pretty sure I saw a very fat lady arriving at Odsal as we drove past.

| Questionable coaching playing unfit players, Oledeski obviously not fit in warm up (couldn't have put his hand up as couldn't lift it that far!); lack of basics skills and direction (did we complete a set?). Players couldn't be bothered (exceptions Hallas and Peltier) so why should we? Correct, officiating was worse than dire but the team brought it on themselves.

| Just back having decided against my better judgement to go along - in the hope that last week was the start of the big fight back
What an utterly depressing afternoon. Outmuscled by a team that will probably get relegated along with us. No incisiveness, no game management, weak defence, lack of fight - it was barely an improvement over the London game to be honest.
The pack was beaten up all afternoon, giving the backs very little to work with. I was impressed with Peltier for his impact and go-forward and Hallas for his energy, but the rest were totally second best
Kirk - just a big lad who doesn't punch his weight
Magrin - no real impact
Oledzki - clearly not fit, a risk that didn't pay off
Davies - tried hard but made little headway
Halafihi - last minute replacement for Cameron Smith, totally out of his depth
Chapelhow - remind me why he is even at our club?
I think we can take it that we now as good as relegated. Totally beaten up by the next worst team, the team that will probably end up getting relegated along with us.

| I can't see us picking up many points from these fixtures:
Featherstone - Home
Rochdale - Away
Oldham - Home
Halifax - Away
Hull KR - Home
What's the betting we soon find out that Ethan Ryan and James Bentley have been snapped up by Super League clubs just to add insult to injury?

I know. Don't blame either of them. Look at Burgess, Bateman, Whitehead etc. All improved since leaving the club. Jacob Trueman also made his Super League debut for Cas today.

Anyone who really believes that Ryan and Bentley will be here next year is simply not facing reality. Probably Ross Oakes as well.

| We're not good enough to stay up without major investment and we all know that's not happening. We're going down. If the club manages to stay afloat, which I doubt it will now.
Today's performance was pretty awful. We seemed nervous from the off and although we led 12-6 at one stage it was never going to be enough. Losing so many players to injury didn't help. The late head shot to Keyes was absolutely disgraceful. How it was not even put on report is beyond me. Then when Thomas was deliberately thrown into the railings after the tackle was complete and we didn't get a penalty you knew it wasn't our day. Players from then lost composure.
An awful game. An awful result, not just for today but what it means for the club.

| So glad I made the effort, took the time and spent the money to go and watch that. It was nice to see a team with a desire to win, who ran hard and did the basics well.
Unfortunately it was Dewsbury.
If the team can't be ar**d to play anymore then I can't be ar**d to go.

Correct. Also Morton knew exactly what he was doing when he tried to smash Thomas over that barrier, I was 20 feet away and it was disgraceful. Not even a pen for it. Dewsbury played the ref all afternoon and the ref was poor, but he wasn't as poor as us.
This season is now done. So it's now just about what state we enter league 1 in (that's if we make it through the close season when this seasons gates fall through the floor and season ticket sales and sponsorship do likewise) I'd guess part time and with even less money than this year so I'm struggling to see a positive turnaround anywhere in our future before someone turns the lights out permanently.
And im so p!ssed off that were right where so many of us said we'd be, but now a year later and with another raft of academy exodus imminent. We're just a dead club walking at the minute.
