I would say ninth (as i did earlier in the year). Leigh are a better side than us, they just need to get going and keep Ipape on the picth, their spine is miles better than ours, with Lam and Ipape offering genuine threat in the middle of the park and a good support player in Moylan. Leeds could end up above or below us depending on how their form goes, but they definitely have a better all round side than ours, and have genuine pace in the middle with Miller, and of course Brody croft and Ackers to provide speed around the ruck. In fact, every side other than London, Hull and Castleford have far more balanced attacks than us. Warrington should wallop us with Dufty and Williams again cutting us open in the middle of the field with their pace and attacking flare. They also have Brad Dwyer off the bench who is EXACTLY the kind of player we should have been looking to pick up instead of Milner, offers real threat and pace from around the ruck and wouldn't have cost a fortune as he is only a fringe player and doesn't play the full 80.

Historically we have performed well in CC semi-finals, so maybe we will catch Warrington on a bad day and get a result, we will however merely be prolonging the agony of a 4th CC final defeat if we do. I never want us to lose, but if going out of the cup is the straw that removes Watson from post i would take it, We wont win the final anyway.

That was absolutely pathetic today

I turned off at half time.

Its clear to me, that those players have stopped playing for Watson

What a total waste of Ken Davys money.

Time to move him on, get on the phone to Nathan Brown & rescue what we have left of this season.

I know that there are teams in super league that are in a worse position than us BUT:
Today was utter garbage for the second week in a row.
How long do you want to built your team Mr Watson.
How much more money will you take from Ken Mr Watson.
Why can't you motivate the team in a Challenge Cup semi final Mr Watson.
Is it me or have we actually gone backwards since he arrived?
Connor is a liability if things aren't going to plan.
Loose the next two home games and the writings on the wall.
Never thought I could be so critical of a team I have supported most of my life.

There is only one team in superleague in a comparable position to us, which is Leeds. They have spent a similar amount and have a similar league position. I would much rather have their squad than ours though, as i have said previously.
Watson is living off the cup run we had in his first year in charge, that is the only thing we have accomplished during his tenure. If he had had some positivity and belief that day we would at least have a cup to show for it.
I do not believe the team is unmotivated, they are simply not a good team. It is unbelievable that we have spent a similar amount on players as Warrington, and yet they have pace, flair and threat across the team, whereas we have a one edge (masters and swift) and the rest offers very little. Watson should have been gone at the end of last year, but Ken has clung on, because he is by all accounts a hard working man who has put everything into the job. The problem is, he's not very good at it.

There's no real answer to this dilemma, even if someone else takes over they can't magic up some decent spine players to replace our slow plodders. Most of them are on at least a 2 year contract, some longer, we are well and truly in the dudu.

Maybe it is time for a change. I went to watch the reserves on Saturday George flanagan Jr was at full back, he was outstanding, pace and footwork always in support and kicking goals also. Rush had a good game at scrum half and Deakin was outstanding at hooker. I am not that naive to know that this is not super league but the present first team members at 1, 6 and 9 are hardly setting the world alight at the moment, so as the old saying goes, if you are good enough you are old enough. Give these lads a go Mr Watson you really have got nothing else to lose, literally !!!!!!!!!!

Hugely disappointing but not totally surprising after the Wigan game. I thought Marsters, Naiqama, Swift, Leroy and Seb were decent. Lolohea tried to create but we lacked in so many areas. Matty English is a journeyman, a good team player I'm sure but limited. Wilson runs hard but gave 2 penalties away, and dropped a ball in the first half. Others are fairly average. I like Clune but he needs quicker and classier players around him. We are too slow. Milner and Golding aren't good enough at 9. Connor is too slow, and is not good enough against the better teams. We also need more impact from the bench. I'm not sure if the next few weeks will be any better.
