I hope you mean tomorrow otherwise I'm late.

Comment is about attitude, our attitude from day one should be we are in a relegation battle, the target for safety is 20 points. That is what the mentality of coaching staff and players should be. Until you get to 20 points then we are in a relegation battle. All the talk this season has been about, best squad ever, top 5, dream team players, Wembley etc etc and that attitude doesn't work at Wakey, we thrive on scrap yard dog, everybody hates us, playing out of a dump, lets show em mentality, the moment the players forget we are in a relegation battle we get what we have seen this season. Once we take our eyes of the relegation battle the wheels always fall of our bus. Now if we get to 20 points after 15 or 16 games then hey I leave the door open for all you positive people, fill your boots even talk about Old Trafford, but until we get to 20 points we scrap for every inch.

Apologies

You what? just spat me bovril out reading that, obviously you've not actually seen our defence then judging by that statement icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif

Triin should have no probs tomorrow cause in wait express cc says he has his fingers crossed. Ok then

We looked good till the injury count got ridiculous.
We've had a few good halves since, non of em in the same game.
Ok, we're getting a few back on a drip feed but you can't just sweep away the disruption injuries are causing/have caused.
Guy's returning from lengthy lay offs are just not gonna be peaking so the idea the team sheet suggests an upturn in results is a bit optimistic.
Nothing wrong with being positive, but if it doesn't work out don't come back here spitting dummies as if the players broke in to your house and 5h1t on the living room carpet.
I'm hoping for few mistakes, 2 good haves of sets and ends of sets and no injuries, the score is what it is, if Shudds play well enough to win against that....fair do's.

How ever anyone looks at it tomorrow is now a more must win game with rovers winning

Couldn't we have traded Randell for Parcell?

That’s a poor choice of bet IMO...if the match ended in a draw after 80 minutes (which is a possibility having had two close games already) then if Hudds went on to win in golden point we’ve lost the match and you’ve done your dough...would be a disaster of a night...

The safe betting option, to potentially soften the blow of a defeat would be Hudds +4-6 at around evs...the other bonus to that is you could end up with a double whammy...close win for us means you’re celebrating the win and collecting money too!

Also, in response to an earlier point about Skybet giving Hudds 6 start, I see that as a huge positive for us because their traders are the best at calling rugby league by a country mile! Don’t forget they are not fans who are swayed one way or the other, they are doing it as their job and are looking at it as a neutral...of course they don’t always get it right and we are as unpredictable as anyone but Skybet are very good and the fact they are the shortest on us to win outright in 80 minutes bodes well in my eyes!

Bull - the decline in our fortunes has nothing to do with "taking our eyes off the relegation battle," and everything to do with losing a massive part of our first team to long-term injuries over a very short period of time; that's when the wheels fell off.

Yep, and dare I say that I think we have coped a lot better given the number of injuries we have had than a lot of other clubs would have done during that period.

I just hope now that we are starting to see bodies back that we can pick some confidence up and more importantly start picking some points up. Yes, we are 4 points of bottom, we are also 2 points of 5th which is easy to forget, a few wins and things will start to look very different for us.

I'd agree, just a couple of games where we have been a bit more dire than we should been even with injuries.

For me our worst game was the loss to HKR when we had virtually no injuries and they were there for the beating, that was two vital points chucked away and for me is the most unforgivable performance for years, that day we did take our eye off the ball and it could cost us.

Ditto Leeds.
That night Leeds were awful, with the only try coming from and interception (when it looked like we would score).
The very fact that we couldnt score against them shows just how poor we were.

I don't entirely agree with the first paragraph - I think we've coped very badly, and that I guess reveals the weakness in our position of spending well below the SC; we just don't have the depth of quality that some teams possess. Players like Kershaw and Croft should be introduced in a winning team - not called on in an emergency to shore up a busted team; that does nothing for their develop

I entirely agree with the latter sentiment though - we live in hope!
