According to Rammo, Louie isn't playing, Purdo at stand-off with Lamont at LF.
Krasniqi and Bolger on the bench with Ellis and Mills.

Gale is not injured - dropped.

Seems to have made b*gger all difference. Looks like we're heading for another rout.

18-0 down 20 odd minutes gone

Sounds like it is going to be another one of those afternoons. The dispirited collapse.

A hallmark of the McDermott era.

With Cas and Crewesaders winning outside chance of play offs are over.
The commentators are right, season is definitely over now.

<burns season ticket>

Something needs to be done. Whatever talk there was of a turn around in form, it's clear we don't have the squad to compete at the moment.

Even Salford at least seem to be competing in most of their recent games. Thanks to Catalan, we won't finish bottom, but this is going to end up as a pretty dire season.

we will have new personnel next year. I reckon big mac will go to Bradford which will bring new ideas.

Onward and upward. Double over Wigan next week?

Ok losing again i can just about put up with as its become the nor for us with the thin squad we have. BUT the constant trashing is now getting to me.

If we were carrying injuries before this game then why drop Gale and put Purds in at SO on his first game back. I know Gale didnt have the best of games last week,but to drop him now and expect Purds to have to be involved in the desion making is beyond me, IMO he just needed to be in the forwards and just do a job for us and not have to worry about anything.

But all that aside listening to this its just sounds like the same old habits are back from beginning of the season. Tackles going high or missed, no one backing up the ball carrier and then when we do or even make a break we just drop it.

People who know this game more then me might be able to me give some answers. I know its not down the fact they dont care about the club as they do you only have to chat with any of them to know that. So what is it i ask..

I know one thing its going to be a long week decideing if to go next week because i dont think i want to sit there and see Wigan run riot over us and have to listen to their fans jeering i just think that be the last straw for me and this season

With nothing realistically to play for, makes you wonder if they're gonna dish up this krud everyweek form now on inwards.

Good chance - his missus is back up North decorating their house and kids in school up there - what does that tell you?
