I looked at the fixtures three weeks ago and thought potentially 4 points out of next 6, if we want top eight it needed to be at least 2

result zero, second half at hull kr was awful, castleford merely was more of same, hull was like watching men playing boys.

No doubt we will be gallant losers against wigan papering over the cracks

We have just been slaughtered by two teams around us in league -

Couldn't agree more, we were fortunate last season that we had so many new players and coaching staff, who all came together as a team and wanted to impress and make an impression. That team spirit is what carried us into the playoffs.

Jonh also makes a very interesting and well thought out point regarding conditioning which has contributed to this season's lull. I'm also questioning whether the players are really performing for Agar, does he fully have their respect? I'm not so sure, and after watching the Magic game back, the two dressing rooms at HT couldn't have been any different.

Lets just hope we can show some significant improvement in the remainder of the season

You'll be one of "the sheep" too then (not that you'll be ridiculed or abused for it, mind - this board is open to all).

Bulls points deduction also helped.

That would fall under the bit of luck, along with the two 1 point victories.

Glad to hear it.

Not a case of being a sheep though, it just makes no commercial sense to pay off one coach who has got a relatively decent record with us, to replace him with someone else who may or may not have more success. If we were getting bombed every week, I could understand people wanting him out - but we aren't. (last 2 weeks excepted)
