There is no way i am paying good money to watch that next week when it is on TV.

TBH i would question whether i would pay to go if it wasnt on TV. No chance next week

As i said earlier we should try get Noble back, Wigan was in the same mess under Millward, he only had roughly the same amount of games and Wigan gave him the axe. All Wigan's recent sucess is built on Noble's work. Swallow your pride Hood and get it sorted.

worst defence points in superleague. What a team

Except for Quins.

It's not all bad with our team we should attract more away fans to Odsal. Excepting Catalans and Harlequins first missed away match for 3 years. Not going next week as the humiliation will be immense. Feel very sorry for the Board they have like City done everything off field to make it work, on field I haven't got a clue what the answer is.

Still worst points difference

We probably couldn't afford to get rid of Potter and TBH Noble turned things around at Wigan in no small part due to the amount of cash he had to bring in some quality players. He wouldn't have that here.

We are in a desperate situation though. All the pre season optimism is now gone. We staring down the barrel of not winning another game this year and finishing bottom. Something has to give or we'll be losing our SL status if the rot continues. Once that happens it'll be the end of the club fullstop.

I remember back in the mid 80s we were in a similar situation and the club bought three players with money they didn't have (Grayshon, Harkin & Hobbs). It was an immense gamble and saw board members resign over it IIRC. However it probably saved us from relegation and extinction. Maybe a similar gamble is needed?

I agree. I also think the club already made the gamble when signing orford and it just didn't work out. We would be top 6 club with him playing every week. They kind of have to do it again. I don't think they expected this year to be anywhere near this bad.

It's much harder to change a bad culture into a good one than vice-versa.

I'd make a different comparison with City than the one you made, like at Valley Parade too many people (from board level down to supporter level) at Odsal accepted and excused under-performance over the last few years, some quite vociferously, and once you let that sort of attitude get ingrained in the psyche it's one hell of a job to turn it round, as has been shown at VP.

The money saving argument will see the club lose it's SL licence.

It's getting to the point that we can't afford not to spend some.

It would have been interesting if the Crusaders would have turned us over at there place, which they nearly did.

And Quins, we could have dead easily been well stuck at the bottom

Another 5 mins against both Crusaders & Quins could have seen us lose and if Dureau's drop goal attempt had gone over!!!

Doesnt bear thinking about

Just heard Potter on Radio Leeds and he's not that confident of us making the top 8.

Mentioned the lack of confidence and said it's not down to lack of effort.

I take consolation in how bad things have been at various points since 1863, and yet the club endured on each occasion and came back stronger.

Well thats just what you want to hear from your coach, not confident about making the 8. He must have no motivation skills whatsoever.
