On that performance will we beat the Bulls, Leigh, Widnes or Hull kR. I can see us just scraping past Halifax and Sheffield but only just. Not good enough I'm afraid.

I don't agree at all.
But we both knew that.

Nothing of the sort but next week is absolutely crucial.

Give it a week or two and you'll be right.

Why the chuff did we wait til 5 mins before the end of the first half to start playing? If we'd have played the whole game like we played the second half, we'd have won that with room to spare.

Truly baffling!

Our record against the Bulls is awful. IMO if we had to lose one game that'd had to be it. Today was the warning that the ship is heading towards an iceberg.

Giving teams a head start is becoming something of a trait this season.

So based on your assumptions, we will probably win five games, does that almost confirm relegation?

It should be "we will NOT". Well done for spotting my error.

Listening to radio leeds and they are reporting that Brian Smith is very upset and has banned any coaching staff or players from talking to the media. Thought you were going to do it when you hit the front.

Not yet, but dumb mistakes like today will kill us.
What's happened to lynnes pace also. Looks like he's playing with lead boots on.

I've always had faith in Brian Smith and a handful of the players, but I genuinely don't think the majority have the ability and/or the passion to keep us up.
That said we still have hope but the Bradford game Sat is now a MUST win game.

I think your team will get better with each match. Smith needs to keep their chins-up. Salford are always tough to beat at home, and you run us close. A little bit more cohesion and you'll be fine.

Good luck with your remaining fixtures.

Two teams that look like they could be in trouble today. One or both of Leigh and Bulls will beat Wakey. That means they may now struggle to get the 8 points for third - if that is what it takes. With only 7 games it is vital you don't lose the first two.
This is going to be an intriguing little competition. Next week is vital for both Bulls and Wakey in massively different ways.

Thanks Butcher. 6 more games to find out.
