Agreed. Just because we're not as strong as the top two doesn't mean we should take our bat and ball home and give up. Fev have built their squad over a number of seasons. We need to be consistently a play-off team in this league, for financial as well as moral around the club. So I see this as a must win also as the season could unravel and we've another rebuild/clear out.

Got to admit after the Sheffield performance and the second half at Leigh, plus Sunday's weather forecast, I'm struggling to find the will to buy a £20 ticket to get soaked again watching another disappointing display

Bollox to standing in the open for this one - it's the stand for me. I think everyone that remained stood in the open for the game vs Sheffield deserves a Duke of Edinburgh Award.

Well we did, at the cost of one buggered umbrella. I just can't bear the thought of paying even more to sit down to watch Championship rugby.

We transferred. For an extra £2 it was worth it at the time. I've not seen weather like that in many a year.

If we go behind to Barrow i dont think we will come back and win.

The middle unit is soft, over weight and shows no fight or desire to get stuck in when the going gets tough.

Hoping Kibula and Scurr are back in as a minimum. I dont think anyone could complain if they were dropped for Flemming either to be honest and thats really scraping the barrel.

Think this game is too early for Mustapha unfortunately

On showings so far I'd agree with a lot of that. We looked good at Dewsbury but the evidence since then is that we're flat track bullies. The game on Sunday is the ideal opportunity to show otherwise or confirm our fears.

If we do go behind vs barrow it will show how much heart is in the team.

Also I’m sure the brave souls in attendance will make our feelings known

I take it the person asking for Kibula to be brought in to provide go forward and replace overweight forwards didn’t see the Hurricanes game then?

In better shape than some

Foggin-Johnston looking at a sizeable ban. Charged with a Grade E case by the RFL. 4-8 game ban incoming.

It was a shocker. No one can have any complaints.
Ban wont come into effect untill the cup game next week though

6 games I reckon

I wouldn't be rushing him back into the side after his ban. Absolutely brain dead thing to do with 45 seconds of the match left when we were getting our backsides spanked.

Surprisingly, Kear hasn't had the ruthless streak I thought he would regarding discipline. Remember Fleming walking straight back in the squad after costing us the win against Widnes? I know sometimes coaches need to take emotion out of making selection decisions, but I was very surprised to see Fleming play. With Eldon Myers playing for the reserves, unless Kear is back from injury, looks like DFJ will play.
