This was a winnable game about 9 weeks ago, can't see how they will get anything from it now though. Confidence is shot and I don't think the mental strength is there to grind this sort of result out.

I won't be risking ruining my Father's Day, but I might try and make an effort to go to the Olfham game if the weather is ok. That might be low quality but fair contest.

On holiday, but probably wouldn't have gone anyway. I've got a season ticket and hate wasting money but I've sacked away fixtures for the foreseeable. Though I do tend to flip flop like a lump of jelly on these decisions.

Thanks Johnbulls. Think I will be going for seats with my son coming along.

I wont be going.

So is it just Ricky that's going then?

I certainly won't be for reasons I've outlined before. Eagerly anticipating this interview with Chalmers but I don't think it'll change my mind. Largely because owners could promise the world at the moment and it wouldn't make a difference. The only thing that will is action.

Yeah, we are hoping for the new coach syndrome to kick in, but without the benefit of actually having a new coach.

You say that but listening to the players at Tong - now Geoff has finally been unleashed from his silence, it seems to have created a buzz and given the players fresh optimism that they can get the required number of wins to survive of their own accord.

The feeling and mood in the camp this week is similar to what I experienced the week leading into the game at the Summer Bash with Hull Kingston Rovers.

They'll be a huge uplift in performance on Sunday and oh boy does everyone need it.

The problem is that optimism that built up to KR still resulted in a loss, followed by another god awful performance the week after.

Optimism and good spirits don't get points on their own. And I remain to be convinced the current squad (especially without Chisholm) has enough to win the games required.

Good luck to em, I hope they win. I hope they win every game this season. It still won't be in front of me though until the club pulls it's finger out with communication and stops with the out and out lies to the fans.

We'll see what they're made of when we concede a try or a couple of penalties. It's all very well looking good on the training ground...
