So some big games coming up - a derby against a dangerous Leigh led by our former coach, a likely sell out home game against the champions and our biggest rivals followed by the league leaders. Exciting but not really the time for our attack to be as poor as it is at the moment. Wonder whether Peet will be brave and make the big switch to the spine. Cust's lack of form and Bevan's impact on Friday will surely make it more tempting for him.

Any predictions for how we'll go in these three? If someone offered us 2 wins out of 3 I'd personally take it and run. On the other hand if the coaches aren't able to fix up our attack over the coming days it might be a very tough spell for the club if we end up with three local derby defeats.

Saints are easy.

Agree would take 2 from 3.

Leigh have been a breath of fresh air this year and looking like a big crowd Thursday with some entertainment. Look a decent team too.

Saints I assuming will have pencilled in Good Friday as the day they’ll get over their Jet lag from the Penrith friendly. Still the standard in superleague.

Warrington look awesome atm, rolling teams down the middle, Williams and Drinkwater balance pairing and some fast backs. Form team away.

After what we’ve served up so far this year id expect 1 win from the 3.

It feels like just limiting the damage is about as good as we can hope for in this form. That would mean not losing all 3 and if we could pick up 2 wins, I’ll be elated. I think we need to be brave with the selections and if we are, we could come out in decent shape on the other side. If we go with the same old of Cust at 6, Singleton, Powell and Byrne in the front row and keep making ridiculous errors it could be 3 long weeks.

I'd almost be grimly satisfied with 1 out of 3, and delighted with 2 out of 3.

The only hint of hope I have is our final ten minutes on Friday. That has to be a snapshot of what we're aiming for - the defensive intensity/line speed, attacking with depth building up to the King try and then rock solid to close the game out.

Interesting to see Miski didn't play for London today. Wondering if Peet will leave out Cust and play Miski right wing , Bevan full back and Field at 6. Who'd be a coach.

We need to put in a good performance against Leigh (who will be massively up for this game), shame it's not on Friday evening as you could probably add another 2-3k to the gate.

If we can put in a good performance and come away with the victory it will set us up nicely for Good Friday. If we don't then these three games could really put a spanner in the works for the season.

I thought the two 'niller' games we had were showing signs of some good rugby, but then have gone backwards a little.

Let's hope we have a dry week before Thursday as I'd be confident we can do Leigh out wide. Should be a cracker though, they will be proper up for it.

Wowsers that’s a tough run.

FWIW I think both Wigan and saints look as clunky as each other. I think the big thing for us of having a settled back row/centres before playing you. If we continue the merry go round of bans and injuries we will struggle badly as we look very poor in attack so far.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see some brain explosions in our game Vs Wakey that put selection under pressure.

If we can play with the same intensity of the last 20 minutes in fridays game i think we will be fine on Thursday. If we start slow (as we have all season), I can really see Leigh scoring a few early tries and making it a long night for us. You could flip a coin for good friday to be honest, both not playing to the standard of last season so far but should be a great game. As for Warrington, I would be surprised if we picked up a win with the way both sides are playing at the moment, but if we can win the next two that would put us in a great position. Noticed the injuries are mounting up at Wire though and rumour Mikaele is leaving.

Obviously should be going for 3/3 wins but if we can get 2/3 wins with 2 good performances then that would be solid. I think Peet needs to make some tough decisions. I'd be dropping Cust after last week, Field to 6, French to 1 and Miski on the wing. O'Neill starting 9 with Powell on the bench. We looked far more energetic and threatening moving French & Field. Cust needs to be dropped as he has been poor all season so far. He was one of the first names on the team sheet last year without being a stand out player. Expected him to kick on and improve but he's gone the other way which is disappointing.

Cut out the errors and we'll be o.k
2nd best attack and best defence in the league so far. However we do seem to find it easier to score from 50 metres out than ten and we're conceding more penalties this season than last but that could be down to the way the game is being refereed at this time.

3 local teams will hopefully boost our performance. Warrington is the big concern with the size of their forwards

Que Mr Frisk " in 1993 we played four games in a day, we had three sent off in on game and we still got 8 points from the four games"
