I’ve seen Tigers in a few games. They’re not great but they’re better than Hull...who beat us. I hope we can do something in the game but I’m not massively hopeful. What will be disappointing is if we only score once and lose comfortably. If that happens I think the season is done.

Unless the game plan is to bring in 3/4 quality players for the last 10 games or so (and even that might not work this time), the season was done before it began.

Never give up or lose the faith

The wife and I are going to game on Friday, we have even bought the new away shirts for the occasion.

I have some bad news for you regarding Father Christmas and the Tooth Fairy if you had any belief that the season wasn't "done" before it started!

Tigers to win by 20 points or more......brave as we are, we really just aren't a match for any other SL side at the moment!

Can I ruin everything by being optimistic?

We only lost by 8 to a very good team on sat and likely have one or two returnees so should be just as solid and won't have to deal with anything like MacDonald, lafai or Sneyd....

Good to see a bit of optimism but I can’t really share it. Salford are a good attacking side and the 3 players you mentioned are a real handful but as a team they were undoubtedly off on Sunday and we still weren’t able to take our chance. Tigers aren’t as good but from what I’ve seen they’ve done pretty well for periods in games and I don’t think they’ve fallen off the edge of a cliff like Hull have. I hope we will make it competitive but I just don’t see where our tries are going to come from. We just don’t find it easy to make metres or unpick defences. Also when we do score we often struggle to convert the extras. I fear another modest loss but we will see.

Bookies see us as big outsiders but the Salford scoreline was encouraging.

squad out. Adebiyi, Bassett, Natoli in it. Guess Natoli won't play as it seems the possibles still get incldued.

Those who don’t make the 21 but are fit know where they stand when someone who isn’t fit makes the cut, that’s for sure. Here’s hoping we can give Tigers a good game. I’ve seen they’ve gone down the loanee route as well. Wonder if Drinkwater at Warrington, might fancy a few weeks at London. Might help to improve things and as an Aussie the concept of coming to London might not disturb him.

Well, he knows all about playing in a London team from his time with us in 2014.

Expecting the announcement shortly then!

We can but hope. If he doesn't fancy it, wonder what Reg is doing these days?

We are a very frustrating team to watch.
