Interesting take on last nights game!

Heh. Some people with faces like smacked s there. Some muppet came on here recently to say [iwe're[/i delusional, but to reckon that a team one place and two points below you (at start of play) is somehow 'there to be taken' takes a special kind of delusion, particularly when you take current form into account.

I thought Hull shifted the ball around quite well with Houghton at dummy half, and I think our defence really stood up well. We should have won by more though. Hull are a very poor, garbage, pants team who are nothing special and were there to be taken.

Have you seen the league table?

You are in 12th for a reason, you are not that great, neither are we, fc were clueless for twenty minutes at the start, the same at Wakefield two weeks ago so I wouldnt go thinking your defence was anything special, we couldn't open a bag if crisps in the first half


Both teams would have been looking at the game last night as winnable, out of two poor teams you edged it, had linehams try in the second half been given who knows what the result would have been

The league table doesn't give a true reflection of our current performances. After beating Bradford we lost a tight game at Warrington, we then were beaten in the last seconds (literally) at Cas then we smashed Huddersfield on their own turf before dominating yourselves for 60 minutes last night.

Were a much better side than our 12th position indicates.

Yup. Hence the reference to current form which seems to have escaped our contributor from the distant east. However, s/he did - finally - use the phrase so popular with fans whose team loses a game they'd convinced themselves they were going to winwould[/i win!! How can I save face? I know! I can convince myself that they're as crap as we are!!"

Tbh I find the posting of opposition fans more than a tad amusing.I was going to give Hull some credit for a better 2nd half performance but I wont be bothering now.

The table never lies.

It does Cas arnt as good as the table suggests imo.

In this situation it does. We are not IMO the 12th best team in the league at the moment.

The table suits whatever you want to believe. As far as i'm concerned it didn't lie when Cas were relegated and it doesn't lie now that we have been in the top 4 all season. You are where you are, get over it.

We'll see where we finish to decide on this! At the moment were in good form but counts for nothing if we don't beat Hull KR on Sunday. I believe if we beat them then top8 is a serious possibility!

Fortunately, Mike87/Red League has gone over onto the Hull forum to hold our end up and show that we can be every bit as dickish as they are. He's ace.

Can you tell us how the league table reflects current form?

Or a team with effectively a completely new set of outside backs?
