No quick fix here in afraid, if we can improve week on week in any area and maybe win a couple of games for some confidence before the 8s we could give ourselves a fighting chance but with this group of players I really hope Brian has brought his magic hat with him.

Why do you suddenly feel confident of winning 5 out 7 in middle 8's?

I think it’s called optimism, or maybe he just has delusional tendencies, it’s been a long season/decade/lifetime.

By the time we get to the middle 8s we will have benefited from a fair few weeks of Smith coaching.

We then have to beat 4 Championship teams plus 1 Super League team. That is to avoid the million pound game.

On paper that is very achievable.

I genuinely believe we will be a much better as a team when we get to August.

I think anyone who knows our history will be well aware that things could have got worse.
Brian Smith to the rescue emergency service no 5.
Brilliant appointment and just wait for the road to recovery, starting today. Its probably the best appointment in the clubs history The opposition while trying to keep a brave face on things will be viewing the going s on with interest. Only 2 weeks ago Leigh, Bradford , Salford, and whoever else we may come up against would have expected a win against us, Im sure they will be less sure about that now and only on his appointment. All the talks been on Leigh but after the week ends results could they be looking over the shoulder. Sometimes things happen for a reason and the C C result will be used to motivate the squad.
Bring the 8s on
