Maybe the Brough debate should have it's own thread....what's brough got to do with the game v Wakey?

Me too partly,I really want to get to the grand final though,win or lose. As much for Financial reasons as anything else. I want Adam to get some payback and hopefully he'll invest further and set us up for a prolonged spell of challenging for the top honours. On reflection in a months time it'll be hugely disappointing if we let this opportunity pass by though and i think it'd send out the message that we're bottlers and unable to challenge when the going gets tough,we need to get the fear factor back and batter teams into submission. I'm hoping last night was a mix of complacency,nerves and the back end of the challenge cup disruption and throw all that in with some dubious refereeing and playing a team with nothing to lose then i think the performance can be excused,as long as we kick on now it'll be forgotten.

A wins a win. Back in that winning circle now and can move forwarD. Wigan we were a little off which was prob caused by large scale changes week b4 and all the wembley hangover etc. But really not hard to have seen a win. Saints game I don't register either way
We're still better off than leeds this time last yeat and they were dominant
Seen enough of hulls character this year not to be worried. If wigan are to do us a favour later I've no worries that we'll come in as hard strong and performance wise to give us every chance like all year

Ps I don't get all this 'what ever happens I'll be happy' if we only win cup
After the season we've had and the work gone in it'll be disapponting tbh. Glad the players ain't thinking in such a way

Are really being serious? Think Talanoa won three pens coming off our line yesterday fighting for fast plays and took 3 defenders everytime he carried
Last year this time he was playing centre getting his hands dirty with plenty graft and looking like the only back who might do anything.

Some tired legs, it's been a great season so far but I can imagine it's been a hard, pressure filled season for the players and staff. We need a spark. Some slight tinkering to freshen things up. Nothing drastic. Just someone on the fringes to get the engine ruining properly again and take us round this final lap in style.

Ok then we'll keep everything as it is. We'll keep playing the same way, same tactics, same players and settle for the Challenge Cup. I wonder if the Wigan team of the 80's did that. I'm not slagging the players off, I'm saying two or three are now starting to look spent. The season has been great whatever happens. But each to their own opinion.
