We've already played the two fixtures Wakey have just won and we lost them both!

I know that. Point I was making was that we can't get too fixated on other teams results. Concentrate on ours.

We always knew it was going to be a very tough ask to pull back 6 pts, especially with all the off field problems at the beginning. It would be a huge boost if we could pick up a result against either Saints or the Giants before we head into what will be a hugely important run of games. After the daft magic weekend we face Catalans (a), Wakefield (h), Salford (a), Hull KR (h). Can't afford too many slip ups in that run of games. Praying we have some luck with injuries and a permanent signing or 2 to strengthen us.

Had a nightmare last night that we got thumped 88-16, habbit of dreams I have they happen to come true :$

Exactly!

I rekon we need to win all those games after the Saints and Giants games as we have:

Wolves (A)
Dragons (H)
Saints (A)
Giants (A)
Warriors (H)
Rhinos (A)
Hull FC (H)

Hopefully if we can beat either one of Saints/Giants in the next week or so plus wins against Catalan, Wakey, Salford and Hull KR. Then the run of games mentioned above would only mean we need to pick up a win or two. Then we are left with Castleford, Widnes and London as the final 3 games. We can do it! We will stay up!!!

Not so sure about our pack really. We're missing Amor for 3 months now, Manu is still a month away with a broken thumb, Laffranchi is out for an indefinite period and LMS only plays against London. Although it would be helpful if our pack transformed into something aggressive and purposeful - Walmsley aside as he's always a rock (bar his occasional PTB blunder) - I am much more concerned about our defence which still wasn't anything like it should be when we played London.

I wouldnt our George and Foster on the same side though, make much more sense to have kear/george and arundel/foster.

At prop and loose i would swap aound chev/pitts and mellor if they are starting to flag through the game.

Hopefull Kaufusi can bring come of the biff Nas has been lacking, if only fakir was playing, and fingers crossed we keep hold of Kaufusi in the long term would be really nice to have Nas, him, Fakir, Sidlow, Chev and mellor as our props with maybe a loanee or 2 coming in also

If we can steal a win against Saints, then things are certainly looking up.

But it's going to be a tough ask. We could really do with the points back from the appeal.

Imagine a win against Saints and all 6 points back

Oh I can dream!

For me a win and no injuries would be an amazing result

I think the two game bubble will burst today. But as long as we have the same effort and don't get tonked we can still keep some sense of momentum.

I think not getting hammered is vitally important. Our points difference is so bad at the moment, that adding another 40 onto it would make it almost impossible to overturn Wakey's points difference. Making us effectively 9 points behind Wakey.

Weather evens it up today.
