| Realistically, can anyone see us getting relegated?
I would have said no a few months ago but with all the current turmoil and uncertainty it certainly seems more likely now.

| Yes, because another rumour that the club are concidering playing Middle 8 home games away from the AJ Bell if true will be the ultimate disgrace.

So you'd have said no when Harris was in charge but are worried now he's gone?
Interesting.

I think that whilst realistically all our clubs problems have probably been evident for the entirity of Koukash's reign, it's only now they're being made public and this is what is concerning.
Most people now agree that Harris was holding our players back and limiting our success. His poor recruitment, lack of attacking rugby, poor and non-existent defensive structures and his inadvertent creation of our poor discipline and penalty-athons are what go us into this mess and Koukash was justified in getting rid of him in my opinion.

I though he was on sick leave?
Maybe it wasn't his recruitment but Koukash's? Maybe he was directed as to who he could and couldn't select in the team? Maybe after the recruitment of Hauraki, Chase, Hock discipline problems were inevitable?

I've always seen eye to eye with people who stick by their guns, even when they're unpopular. I can respect that, even if I may or may not agree with them. When you get someone like our fat plumber friend, who simply can't be trusted and who's opinion veers wildly from one extreme to the other. You need to steer clear of these kinds of snakes in the grass.

| In relation to the original question, should we be worried then yes we should. I went to the game and both sides have attacking players and more importantly the winning mentality so yes. They are both stable, focused and more desperate for super league action than anyone else. Leigh took about 3000 and there was just over 9000 there in what can only be described as a toilet bowl but at least they have pride and passion in abundance. So yes we should be worried as I believe both sides more than capable of beating us

| If you look at who is in the middle 8's, 6 clubs expect to be in the top 4.
Hull KR
Widnes
Salford
Wakefield
Bradford
Leigh
With Sheffield and Halifax thinking they'll have a good go but just enjoy the ride. There's going to be some clubs that are extremely disappointed. I see Wakey going but who do you pick out of the other 5 to go with them? Tough.

Whilst Sheffield and 'Fax are everyones' favourites for 7th and 8th places, they are more than capable of upsetting at least one applecart - including Leigh and Bradford. Dismiss them at your peril!

| Halifax are a team in form - think they've won eight in a row and they complete their sets well. Murrell guides them around the park nicely.
Sheffield are similar in that they complete sets well. They beat us recently but weren't brilliant. It was more of an off day from Bradford.
Leigh have taken 2 SL scalps already this season and are a very confident side as a result. They will be strong at home especially and the whole club is buzzing at the moment.
As for Bradford, we've been poor in the last few months and we've been doing the bare minimum to get by and get results. Our performance in the draw against Leigh at the weekend was our best performance for several months and we did without our two best players. I'm a lot more optimistic about our chances now than I was a few weeks ago.
I don't think Salford will finish any lower than fifth, but I wouldn't be surprised if they found themselves in the Million Pound Game.
