The sequence of fixtures maybe? Ever since the pre-kick off announcement of the quarter final team we look like it's season over and we're heading for 8th place on 22 points.

The more worrying thing for me is the marginalisation of Jowit. The Chester/Grix love thing is reminiscent of the McNally/Field blind loyalty.

Big game against Warrington next week. Be good to get a decent crowd down to BV and
show the lads we are still supporting them. 2 losses in a row is hardly the end of the world!

Let's be 'aving you!

3 losses. Against 3, top 4 teams and playing with depleted and injured squad. Hardly time to hit the panic button.

The way Wakey came at us at the beginning I feared the worst t.b.h. You have some big buggers in your side and I was worried Hull may be jaded after the Cas game. Think the pass to Connor did you no favours, but give Shaul a half chance and any team is in trouble.

From what I've heard he's signed/signing for York

You may be right about Grix and Jowitt, but The Field situation was totally different imho. Field was a talented young player used out of position for far to long - mcnally destroyed that kid through his own arrogance. Don't think you can accuse Chester of that tbh.

Imo and it's just mine your opinion changes with the wind. For crying out loud all teams have poor patches and this is ours. When you consider that we have possibly over achieved then it was due.

Problem with people like you is you love to come on here all billy big balls when it's going well - don't we all. But the minute there is a hitch you panic.

What's really amusing is the team stroke players you're now turning on have done to numerous clubs this season what hull just did to us.

Stop being a prima Donna and learns to take the punches. If we end up in the MPG then you might vhave a point. It's not impossible but let's not wish it on ourselves aye

At the end of the day though McNally couldn't see the fault in his selection and it utimatly contributed to him going down the road less than a year after that great play off run.
Rookie of the year can't get a game this year, even after his replacement is having stinkers. Even after he came in and had an outstanding game in the win at Salford! It stinks.

The Wood mistake was definitely the turning point but to be fair to the lad he came up to the fans at the end and held up his hands and said "My fault".

The thing is that without the mistake I think we would have beaten Hull, however you cannot put the defeat entirely down to that one error. We were still leading even after that, the "heads down" mentality of the entire team was to blame for the defeat. Hull are on fire but we had proved up to that point that we could stand toe to toe with them. There was no reason for us to think that we couldn't get back into it, but we did.

I feel sorry for Woody because he will take a lot of the blame for the defeat, but there were plenty of other culprits last night that failed to stop that one error leading to our downfall.

Watching the tries there were 4 missed tackles that led to the last few tries and a poor offload near the wing when chasing the game. Disappointing but as long as we learn it's still not over. Salford and Leeds losing was great for us.

I was referring to League games.

I'd be more concerned If I was a Salford fan, they've lost their last 3 league games including losing to Saints last night despite having a sizeable lead.

Whilst I won't go as far as the silly Cas fan on the VT who claimed to be glad they were out of the cup, it could work in our favour that Salford have a very winnable cup semi final upcoming whilst we're just concentrating solely on the league.

Who the hell would blame Wood for that defeat ffsake

It was one pass in 80 minutes, the codheads scored 22 unanswered points, its a team game.

And another thing, Wood needs to make that pass every time he can because 9 times out of 10 its a score at the other end, it has its risks of course but massively worth the risk, didn't happen this time, so what, I wouldn't want to see him stuffing it up his jumper when the opportunity is quite clearly there.
So lets not bag one player for one pass in a game of a million passes, any of which could have turned to %h1t at any time, the game wasn't decided on it, the codheads look good enough for P2, it happened, get over it, move on.
