Sorry but tonight was the same old, same old. We can’t exist unless being an underdog. It is getting boring after 50 years.

In most games this season i’ve always thought we were in with a shout with this current team with their different mindset. However last night i never thought we had it in us to claw it back and win. This also happened in the CC final at Wembley. Perhaps it shows us really where we are. I mean, we beat Saints & Wigan so it was always going to be a tough ask to be KR as well. But without degrading those last two wins we beat a poor Saints side that haven’t won in ages and played Wigan when they have hit a bump in their season. Like i say, take nothing away from the boys but we played both of them at the perfect time. Then we play KR who are flying at the moment and unlike Wigan & Saints, they came with a game plan and shut down Williams all night. They also closed us down quickly and you could see they were up for it more than us.
It seems we can beat anybody on our day but when a team comes with a decent game plan we still struggle similar to the CC final. We need to realise that we are a good team and im over the moon about how its gone so far this season but talk of GF contenders to me is still a bit off. I think we will be there or there abouts come the playoffs but still lots of work to do.
Player wise i thought Currie was poor early on. Williams, as stated about was shut down all night therefore made a ton of errors and poor last tackle plays.
Walker frustrates me as he does some great things but also costly brain farts at vital moments.
Thought Ashton was great.

Two games against St’s and Wigan before playing a high flying very good Kr, Wire were up against before a ball had been thrown. Fatigue has to be considered in this defeat and Kr were just wanting it a little more. Credit to Peters and the coaching team, Kr are playing some good rugby league and got their tactics spot ion last night. Wire could y deal with the near the line short kicks, that could be a concern come play offs.. Tough run of fixtures coming up for Kr, which well tell us more about their title credentials. As for Wire, we go again and am sure Burgess will be gearing up now for top two finish.

Really good summary, I won't bother posting as you have said it all here.

Congrats on winning the "top for 6 days mid season" trophy.

Bateman was awesome (not). Has the HJ become the new home for overpaid NRL failures?

And what a long six days it must have been judging by the reaction on here after the defeat. Poor lot have clearly been smarting.

I find it really amusing after a defeat the amount of people browsing this forum. So many bitter fans from other teams that we soundly beat. So long as it gives them comfort

No shame in losing to a good side playing well. Highlighted areas we need to work on and was a reminder, if needed, that we are not the finished article.

They call us "never weres" and "bridesmades" and all other such terms, yet the same club they deride as inconsequential is existing in their head to such an extent they need to come on to our forum and vent their bile when we lose.
