| Feels like putting out lots of fires on here tonight. Coming on this message board after today's defeat you'd think we'd blown the league like last year.
- Playing crap
- Coach needs to go
- Not as good as last year!
Calm down, please.
We are top of the league, only losing one game when our coach had left us the week before and then we had our backline decimated. I'd settle for that right now after the set of fixtures we've had away from home recently. We're playing a different brand of rugby this year and yes, it isn't as entertaining as last year - but where did it get us?
We have players STILL to come back into this team, particularly in the backs - I for one am not panicking at all.

I think you are spot on with your 3 observations

| Although it was always going to be a tough trip, they should have won, and every rugby league fan loves the Challenge Cup and all the excitement it brings, especially in comparison to the championship which can get pretty dull at times. Apparently the coach got lost and they arrived within 1 hour of kick off which is a bit pathetic. And the team selection seemed poor compared to previous weeks. Did Jukes underestimate a full-time team that have only conceded 1 try in 3 games and get approx 2,500 crowds each week? And whoever declined to take the penalty kick awarded (I think at 8-6 down), needs slapping.
I'll probably get slated for this, but ever since Higham arrived back at the club, the rugby has become very ugly. Get Beswick back ASAP and get the ball pinged around again!

You are aware that there has been a virus in the team over the past 7 days. Jukes had 18 players to pick from and some of them were not match fit.

I am not going to make fun of your result FTF, I would genuinely like to hear your opinion though, after watching your match v Oldham, do you think that given the right set of circumstances any of the SL bottom 4 could be relegated after this year's 8's ???

| So after the exciting cup games in the past 2 seasons, today we go out to a 3rd Division side, and that's OK......beltin' !! We are playing crap (in most of the matches) this season, today was the 'icing on the cake'.

I'm hoping today was a one off championship sides have beaten SL sides in the cup we did you have a few weeks ago I didn't think the championship clubs were as strong as last season but come the end who knows we're nailed on for bottom 2 so I'm a little worried at the moment it could be a blessing in disguise for both of us to be knocked out to be honest

There not really a 3rd division side they've only conceded 6pts in 3 matches and scored 192

| We're still points clear at the top of the league? I don't get this moaning.
We've been spoiled for a few years! A couple seasons ago we were relagated and saved by another teams unfortunate circumstances.
Yes we lost, but Wigan got stuffed at Wakefield, Leeds are massively underperforming, yet looking at the league table we're doing what we're expected. Bradford aren't, London haven't.
I'd sooner have the points on the table, look average than be bottom half, but throwing the ball around.
