I think we can forget the playoffs, it's not mathematically impossible for us to be relegated either let's not forget.

I am more concerned with seeing some cause for optimism for next season to be honest. We desperately need to see some good displays in the last 4 games, some signs the resilience is returning and that we can play as a team.

Yeah, even my eternal optimism would struggle with this scenario.

How about what is more likely, we don't get any more points. Toulouse and Wakey get two more wins each, our points difference is eroded and we spend the last round listening anxiously to the radio for their final day results to come in.

If we're winning all remaining games what about if we win our playoff games as well. Daryl could finally deliver that Grand Final that eluded TS or Price.

I like the positivity. We’ve nothing to lose, pressure off, who knows.

How about £10 off each supporter to get the other teams rubbed out by gangsters then we can have a " walk over " into the play offs ? Repeat the plan for play offs ,Bob's your uncle .

Powell is already giving interviews reflecting on the 2022 season. It seems now we've achieved safety(even though technically we haven't)then that's the season over. I highly doubt we'll win another match, especially with all 4 opponents challenging for the play offs.

Don’t need a big post.

To make play offs win games

We have just not done that this season.

From what was said in Powell's interview, it seems there was some resistance to his proposals. Looks like Coops was one of the culprits, as was Charnley. I reckon he just decided King was poor and was amazed at his contract. Stef must be one of his favourites.

From what I believe, the resistance to DP in some areas, be it personal or be his technique has come from…

Dear KineticRR,

You have too much time on your hands, though I admire your dilligence. The weather is glorious, pour yourself a drink, grab a good book and go and sit in the sun (but wear a hat, you may have had too much sun already).

Our season is over, why prolong the agony with a first round humiliation?

Best Regards, MIAW

So, the [icorrect[/i thing to do is for the club captain to insist on a face to face with the coach to air grievances in a constructive, mutually respectful way.

The [iincorrect[/i thing to do is to disregard professionalism, contractual obligations, down tools and cause unrest.

No-one comes out of this well.

You are assuming that The Duck is correct!

What if, indeed, this did happen (or attempts were made) but the coaching staff either refused citing it was DP’s way or the highway, or the response wasn’t to the player’s satisfaction?

This is all hearsay. All that matters in professional sport is results. Since coming in, DP has taken us from third from top to third from bottom*. Those calling for his sacking/resignation might subside for now, but it’s clear his and KP’s management of the playing staff this season has been disgraceful.

In what way?
