They really are a joke. Are they really the best we've got to sell our game on TV?'"
Chambers knew in his post match interview, it’s good we are winning again let’s see what we do with Salford next week.

We lost Louis Anderson and Matt King and brought in Waterhouse, Ratchford and Hill.
Given that Hill was even better than Morley and Carvell in 2012 that overall made us a stronger team.'"
And let's not forget the Mighty Paul Wood.
If anything our games against Leeds & Wigan were lost through cynical tactics by the opposition. The fight that was started by Ryan Bailey that gave momentum back to Leeds & the dirty ,win-at-all-cost foul play by Wigan.

Yeah, I thought he was very sensible and diplomatic, and didn't get carried away or fall for sky's silly questions that may as well have been "is it your year again now you've won two games in a row"?

I used to fume about 2013 and the apparent hit job the crust munchers did on us. But with hindsight and (sadly) more maturity I can't really criticise Wigan in this instance too much, since SBW smashed Blake Green in the face in the first five minutes. Live by the sword and all that. However maybe it's another example in an 80 minute microcosm of how we don't do the clever/niggly stuff as well as the big teams, hence we don't win the big one. Wigan did it better and got the job done, sadly.

Yep Wigan did what they needed to win.

| Looking like 4th is our best possible finish, but that relies on us winning 2 out of 3 games and Leigh losing theirs. If we somehow won all three remaining fixtures and ended up finishing fourth, that wouldn't be so bad after last season. I mean, given the drop between May-August I'd say to finish 4th or 5th is to have gotten away with murder!

Leigh have got Wigan, Wakefield and Saints left, I’d say we would need to win our last 3 to go 4th

Ah yes, just doing the maths now. Well, it's not beyond the realms of possibility but it means beating 'that lot' which we haven't managed this year. However, assuming Leigh only manage to beat Wakey out of those three games, and if we manage to bag a healthy points haul against Salford and Hudds AND a win against the mouth breathers then we'd snatch fourth on points difference?

| Let's not get carried away, we've won two but are more than capable of going back to our old May-August ways.

Maybe it`s best if we qualify for the Top 6 play-off that we don`t get a home game, given the way we performed in our last 3 home games in that competition.......

| I'd prefer an away tie - which is good as that's what we're going to get at best. Really hope it's Saints away.

I'd agree with your Hull KR assessment, we've got to hope that Wakefield still have something to play for in their last game

| There’s no point getting to a grand final if we aren’t going to win it, and to win it we need to be beating any of the top 4 teams away from home. So it doesn’t really matter where we finish. I honestly think it would be better for us to finish 6th and take the hardest route, with less expectation and pressure on us. We’ve got more than enough quality in the squad, and if the players just go out there to do the basics well and enjoy themselves the rest will look after itself.
Winning the big one this year isn’t as far fetched as it may sound. Stranger things have happened, such as a newly promoted team beating the champions in a cup semi and winning the final at Wembley.

'Please no'? We've beaten Catalans away twice this year, when did we last win at the Piedome or The VapeStation?
