I watched the Wakey v Cas game last night and really enjoyed it for the large part…. Then it just made me really deflated at how utterly pathetic we are… then all I could picture was Smiths smug grin he does when the camera pans to him when we do something stupid, or the oppo score a try.

It’s becoming depressing.

If we lose to Leigh, he absolutely HAS to go. HAS to. I would like to think he would resign in such a scenario, but after a nice big fat new contract last season, there’s more chance of Kevin Brown winning MOS.

In his Guardian comments he is looking forward to seeing the fans happy smiling faces after ,hopefully, beating Leigh & getting bragging rights. Hardly championship winning mentality.

I don't know....beating just Leigh is pretty much Championship mentally.

Were you happier after the performance & win?

Even taking account of Leigh being worse than ourselves, i thought we played as if either there have been "clear the air talks" behind the scenes or someone has given the team a massive kick up the booty. Our defence on the right looked much better with the inclusion of our new signings & we seemed to be working more as a team in attack with meaningful plays & there seemed to be more communication between players. Ryan Atkins seemed to be doing plenty of communicating....has he been made captain i wonder ?

I thought that after we beat Saints and then we just slipped back into the poor form again not that long after

I'm not getting any hopes up yet

We played as a team with no pressure, because that's what we are. The middle 8's are cemented and we have accepted it, what a truely dreadful season. A victory against a poor Leigh side is not something to shout from the rooftops.

See how things "seem" after the Wigan game.

I said the same thing we looked like a team with no pressure now we know its probably middle 8s.

I also noticed hill looking like he was giving Clarke the hairdryer treatment over something don't know what but was good to see him disciplining the team rather than moaning at the ref! There were quite a few positives to be taken from game irrespective of who we beat the team now have to back it up wit a win next week

Is he still here?

I'm speechless

Our attack looks about as uncoached as you can possibly get. Add goal line defence to that aswell actually.

We are a laughing stock.

The original post, nearly six months on and it's still accurate.
