In a ideal world maybe, in a beaten team every week and one thats full of unrest its not so easy.

Just like you and me players go through ups and downs in life and are affected by everything that happens around them, it not black and white, it never is.

I'll let you into a secret squire, Wakefield got into SL because they beat Featherstone Rovers in the play off final hth.

I don't to profess to know what is happening at Belle vue,but looking at it from the outside as I do it looks to me like Mr Kear is more intent on winning the 9's than anything else.

Murphy has been poor lately, George is the tackling machine - not that it makes much difference as it sounds like none of them could tackle.

I work in print and there is no such thing as a pure black or white just shaded of grey. RL is the same, but Kears the obvious target and there comes a point where someone has to pay the price. Rightly or wrongly in RL it's always the coach.

Which is more than Hudds managed, were they not invited into SL after finishing 2nd because Paris went pop?

First point - we could have done more to tempt better quality 'guest' players from abroad. I won't accept that there are not players you can't tempt with the right offer.

Second point relates to the first. Of course we'd have been happy if we'd won 2 more games in the last 2 months and we were still competing on the pitch, but we're not because of, partly point 1 above and secondly, the complete and utter mis-management of the resources we do have available.

Off the field - no problem!

What I do now believe is that we have removed any remaining obstacles in the way of the RFL having us removed from SL by 1, performing so poorly as to not even compete (how does that benefit the game at all?) and 2, by signing poor, over the hill overseas players and removing the one reason that would have allowed to get away with our poor performances - namely that we were investing in game time in a new generation of home-grown players.

I believe that in the above we have signed our own death warrant!

You are not alone in this view

No he's not alone, however losing games is acceptable, losing by 70 suggests things have gone too far. This team is better than that.

yes. we all knew it before the season started. some have forgotten it. credit mr glover for his loyalty to kear (and vice versa) on the footballing front.

Indeed. We all knew this team would lose far more than they would win, that was a given. I suspect most fans can stomach a loss. Losing by 50 odd points to an on fire Warrington, St Helens or Wigan is something as supporters we can reason with, however disappointed we feel. Losing by 20 odd points to a team in 12th position, 30 odd points to a team in 8th, and 50 odd points to a team in 11th is much harder to accept, notwithstanding the absolute dire tactics the current team are employing, which leads to speculation the current set of players are not able to play anything more than 5 drives and a kick, which frankly, I think they would find insulting, particularly the ones who have come through the Wigan and St Helens academies.

I hope you are right!

Oh I don't doubt that the grave was dug by others as it turned out.
