| Only £275k funding next year. How can we possibly retain a full time squad on that?

| Yep. Fear for the future now. Instead of a home derby against Leeds in front of 15,000 we have what? A few diehards who can be bothered to turn up to watch Halifax beat us again?
This is a disaster for the club. But one of their own making.

| I'd love to know if Crossley and Clough were actually injured today, and how bad Clark and Gaskell were.
How could Rohan possibly think that only two props would be enough?
This was an even bigger letdown than any performance we ever saw under Lowes. To be NILLED in a game of such magnitude is just completely incomprehensible to me.

The blame and responsibility is straightforward, Lowes's inability to make them play, and the pigeons of the "no halfbacks" policy inevitably coming home to roost..'"
Fail to see why you say it isn't Smith's fault (that he couldn't get the team to play) but it was Lowe's fault that he couldn't.

After the last two years someone will first have to explain the advantage of having a full time squad.

The time for brutal honesty is here. Being billed is poor but irrelevant, the point is we are and have been simply not good enough to get results against our main rivals, Fev looked far better than us, and the result was easily the fair and right result.
Our inquest (if there is any point in one ) is all about how the club has been allowed to descend to a level well below that of Fev, Batley and (even though they didn't qualify) Halifax.
People need to accept that we HAVE sunk to mid table mediocrity. Denial does not help anything. I have been predicting for a long time that we would not make the playoffs and am sloughened and take no pleasure in being proved right, but I really can't see where we go from here.

A lot of it seems to be Smith having to fight against the ingrained Lowes attitude of "Certain games don't matter" as well as certain players having one eye on next year and have already, mentally, left the club.

Smith is a coach, Lowes isn't. Today was a shambles but Smith got us in a short time to a position where our destiny was in our own hands, yet it is not his team and he's only been here 5 minutes. No doubt he will take the responsibility, but what I am saying is the overriding point that while could have performed better, Fev would still have won 19 times out of 20 in that game cos Fev are better than we are.

| What happens if we can't even afford to pay the 2017 contracted players?
We could quite feasibly be in a position right now where our wage bill is significantly higher than our central funding / income in general.

| Does anyone foresee any good or encouraging news coming out of Odsal any time soon? Because I don't.

| I don't think we deserved anything from the game and certainly not a replay but the game was easily 4 min plus short.
Tje clock never got stopped when the ref called it..yet the game ended when the clock did
