I don't normally get into the "must win" thing as it is just two points just the same as every other game from a league position point of view, as Trinity18 says.
But in this instance my statement misses the point. As long as we win enough games to make the 8 it doesn't matter ho we beat.............but momentum, team spirit, mood of the fans, perception of the media all make a difference to how the rest of the games go. If we lose this game it is one more game we have to win against a big boy team but if we win it lifts the mood all around the club and when you are a poor and under resourced team like ours, team spirit and fan support are a big deal.
We are not down if we lose and we are not necessarily in the bottom 4 either, but a win will push us on much more than 2 points. It's important. And I'm sure Chester knows that too.

I think wins this weekend and then against Widnes in the next match are vital. Following those two we then have Wigan, Warrington, Saints again and without a couple of wins under our belt going into those games I think we are really looking down the barrel.

It probably is must win but i think we will win and it will be relatively comfortable in the end. After a tight start we'll do them by three or four scores i reckon. We got it wrong last week but i expect us to rectify it even with a couple of interesting team selections.

After seeing Widnes v Saints I think Widnes are a pretty decent side and got the rough end of a few decisions which could have made it a more interesting game.

If I had to say who was the more difficult team to beat out of Huddersfield and Widnes I would say Widnes are a better side. On that basis I think we should throw everything to try to beat Huddersfield in Newcastle.

Widnes look a good side move the ball a lot better than us .Saying that does not every body

Agree re the widnes comments they are a good side
They've had an awful times with injuries

Next Friday we need to go and do a professional job on them and come away with the points

For me our season starts today, we need to make up for last weeks disaster for all the reasons pop tart says with a strong win over hudds

widnes are an average side if that, they played just above average yesterday. The sky team seem intent in bulling Widnes up and do so a regular basis. For wakey at the moments its all about 2 points and setting your stall out to get them from certain teams. Last week didn't matter regarding points but we let our selves down against Salford another below average team.
if our squad of players are not capable of beating Widnes, Huddersfielc , Cats, and springing a surprise against any of the top 8 then we are below an average side.
We should have the fire power and speed to win games with our present squad . our pack lacks grunt and need to put a full shift in .

Completing sets and looking after the ball will be hugely important today and let our pack take some juice out of Huddersfield and for me, unless we are attacking in their 20, get the ball out of play and set the defensive line.
Play boring and bring the 2 points back.
Ok if we get a couple of long range efforts, all well and good but, we dont need to be fancy against Shudds, just dont give them the lions share of possession.

Aaron Murphy playing second row and ripping us apart. We don't look like we've come out of the changing rooms yet.

Well this is just pure filth

Just glad we’ve brought our A game so far this week to show Hudds who’s boss.

Still think if we can nick one before half time, it's winnable second half just need to get their heads out of the clouds

Here we go.

Deserved try to ashurst that one, he is the only one running on to the ball with any venom so far.

Not by making Aaron Murphy look like Boyd cordner in second row

I’m with you pal they’ve been abysmal this half but it’s till there to win second half..... if Chester can get them going.

Better start!
