Just read the championship grand final winners also get a significant 6 figure sum in prize money. I know Matt has been fantastic with what he has put into this club. However I would hope he would get some of it back by winning that prize.

I thought that came in next year but it would indeed be nice if we got it.

Invariably, the injuries we are having are helping with freshening up the forwards, Lino has had a decent rest, we could do with a half though, the young Wigan lad perhaps migth be worth an enquiry. We may get enough iMG points to be in SL, but I'm sure the playing group want to win the title.

Rocky not getting a game at Wigan, Farrimond seems to be favoured, just a option maybe with options very limited

As some have said it’s not the loss it’s the manner of the defeat that’s disturbing!

We have already tucked the 1895 Trophy away and we will top the table, that's not in doubt, but Toulouse have just served notice that the Grand Final isn’t a foregone conclusion.

It was the stated aim of the Club that we would get back into the Superleague not just via IMG but by the traditional way of winning it on the field of play. If we are honest with ourselves the inadequacies highlighted yesterday have been there all season but we’ve been winning our games so there’s been no need for recruitment to fix those inadequacies.

Ye, I know we were missing a couple yesterday with Atoni and Lino being the main absentees but would they have filled a 28 point gap, I doubt it. So, no panic but we now know that should we reach the Grand Final and should it be Toulouse we face then if they turn up ready to play and in a confident frame of mind we might not be favourites to win.

It was one game. It doesn't mean every other game will be the same.

Same for Toulouse how many have they lost this season teams generally lose form at some point we just need to get back on the horse

Agree with this, it was the inept performance, not the defeat, that was rather worrying.

Incorrect!

We’ve been giving cameos of that performance throughout the season but have got away with it.

Yes true, but I am sure their losses were all at the start of the season. Their squad has now strengthened and they are gaining momentum.
From what I saw yesterday some of their backs are better than anything we have . Unless we strengthen I would be far from confident of beating them even at our place

So it's not the same then. Glad you agree.
We've been playing well in patches and beating teams, including Toulouse.

Those players in the previous games haven't become rubbish overnight.
It was hot and we didn't handle tge heat or the game well. Happens to lots of teams. We knew we'd struggle with these games. We all thought it would be the Bradford game.

We just have to refresh and start planning for playoffs.

Incorrect again!

I never said it was the same as anything, I said the signs have been there all season and they have.
Also don’t put words in my mouth, I never said the players were rubbish or even that they’d deteriorated overnight.
The issues that were highlighted yesterday weren’t highlighted because of the heat they were highlighted because we played a higher standard of team and they exposed our inadequacies. Beating part time teams every week is fine, it’ll get us to the top of the league but we’ll face another quality team in the GF, if we get there

Why the meltdown, Wigan lost to hull over the weekend and they are arguably the strongest team in super league as we are deemed in our league, dust down and go again into the business end

Not sure why 'cameos all season' isn't the same as 'the same thing'

I didn't mean you said they were rubbish but it has been said by others. I was just commenting in general.

But.....why does this game mean so much yet the other game we played against them is not considered?

Either way I'm not precious about it. It's a wake up call and we have plenty of time to fix it.

Why have we not had a post match interview from the coaching staff & or a senior player ???
