Yeah it is but it means all as said above.

This Wire team isn't weak enough to justify losing at all the London, let alone by 44 points.

They should pay for your loyal fans travel expenses after that show.

Exactly. Three will be a lot of nervous players in training this week. Nobody on the periphery has created any headaches for Smith for next week.

If i'd have been 1 of the travelling faithful you'd have heard my expletives back in Wire land but as it is only my 4 walls + the tv have took the flak tonight.1 word.Shameful.

Would you have said that if they werent at Wembley next week and they had this team out?

This, and the horror show at Salford, is the type of display you are bound to get when a competition becomes devalued in the way that Super League now is.

Soon as I saw the line-up tonight I envisaged something like this occuring - The only objective tonight has been getting through with a clean bill of health.

Whatever the pricks on Sky will say, none of the young players were playing for a Wembley place - In all seriousness, we already know the Cup Final line up, those young guys are just there to protect the likes of Briers and Hodgson from any unneccesary risk.

The only definite we learnt tonight is that Solomona is in his final few games with us and that Bridge isn't in the Wembley 17.

Bad enough watching on the telly, can see it being a long drive home for those who've gone. Totally unacceptable.

No I bloody wouldn't arlie but you can't get away from the massive elephant in the room can you.

No gloating from me, this is another bad day for RL and another example of how devalued the SL competition is in terms of the weekly rounds. I won't be celebrating if Wigan win the hubcap.

For Wembley, then:

Hodgson
Riley
Atkins
Ratchford
Monaghan J
Briers
Myler
Carvell
Higham
Hill
Westwood
Waterhouse
Harrison

Monaghan M
Morley

Disgraceful, and disprespectful to the fans that shelled out good money to travel down there for the game. Just thankful I'm at work, otherwise I would have been amongst them.

Oh well, its Friday and you can drown your sorrows for the weekend.

Just make sure you beat those Whinos next week

Tony Smith said in one of his interviews that we had no need to win the league but wanted to make sure we compete in all the big games. Mission accomplished v Wigan and Saints. We will see the real us again next week v Leeds.
