Agreed seems like the players and coaching staff have targeted one game this year (CC final) & carried on partying since the win.

surely we will last at least 80 minutes haha

Lose next week and Price can go for me. Totally unacceptable this run of form given the squad and cash he has at his disposal barring 80 mins at Wembley.

Still Believe.

All those pratts at Redvee can talk about in their playoff thread is how much they want us to lose. Obsessed isn’t the bloody word. Bitter inbred weirdoes.

IMO Warrington will beat Cas and then Salford. It'll then be a semi against (again IMO) Wigan. You'll go into it on the back of 2 wins, Wigan off the back of a saints defeat, so every chance of winning, and then the final against saints, look at the CC final. So in actual effect, this route works better for you than finishing 3rd because you'll get to build more momentum, plus you wouldn't beat saints twice in a few weeks so best wait until the gf.

Totally agree with this.

The final was fun....... The majority of the season has been painful.

Playing some of the most boring rugby I've seen since we moved to the Halliwell Jones, shocking penalties, daft mistakes and a game plan that hopes either Clarke or Austin can throw a dummy and go......... Otherwise just kick it high and hope King can catch it.

I agree except I think Wigan will beat saints in the first semi final. I'd hate to face Wigan in the final again, officials turn a blind eye to grubbery and they're full of it at the minute. We will get grubbed out of it again if we get there (which won't happen) it's Wigan year again.

I think I'd prefer Wigan.
Saints are a bit sore.

Wembley has gone.Great while it lasted esp over Saints but if Wire are only going turn up for the big games it’s not much an incentive for season ticket sales.To simply shut up shop after Wembley is taking the p$ss out of the supporters when it’s costing £50 per match,prob more away with pre match drinks and other expenses.No point in showing passion once every 10 games.As some on here have already said without them early season wins we’d have been right in the mire.Not good enough.

Put yourself in Karl Fitzpatrick position at the start of the season...(scenario)
'Hi Steve...please take a seat.
I going to give it to you straight...I've got 2 bosses here and they are both telling me to win the Grand Final first and formost, but they also want us to win the Challenge Cup. They've pumped £m's into our club....You've everthing at your disposal...that includes league games...I don't care how we look to do it....just do it....oh close the door your way out will you?'

The terraces will be pretty empty if us fans target the same 3 or 4 games where the effort is put in.
I find it hard to believe that a team that saw the writing on the wall when Salford were still a poor team yet beat us at Easter , & haven't found an improvement to speak of in the last 5 months, except the CC.
