I think we will improve.

The injuries are killing us at moment and that can not help confidence prior to a match and may create complacency to places as no one's going to get dropped for the following week. We have to start doing the basics. We are dropping too many simple passes (we passed up cheap possession three times in the first 20 minutes on Friday).

Realistically, I don't think our form will pick up until after the Les Cats game, so any points from Wakey or Les Cats will be a bonus. Salford are coming into form, so that will also not be easy.

The cup weekend may prove to be a turning point. Hopefully we'll get an easier draw this year, we are due one! Then with a week off from League duty, we should have a few players back to hopefully put some form together.

Getting a fit Ellis & Holdsworth back will help lead a charge towards the play offs. Maintaining a fit squad will be another thing. So perhaps we may have to target the cup this season.

A long running thread with a touch more relevance ? or am I on mushrooms ?

Shitake?

Only thing is IF we lose to Giants , Wildcats beat Vikings and Saints beat Cas then we are 8th by 1 point to Wcats who have a game in hand with only 6 games of the season left.

on the other hand if and its a big if we can pull our season round we could finnish in top 6 and have a run out to wembley , long shot i know but what the heck,

More of a "p*ss take".

James Smailes tweeted earlier that we need to win 6 of our last 7 to equal last seasons points tally, so looks like we will be heading backwards after all the pre season hype.

Hudds (H) - L
Bulls (A) - W
Widnes (H) - W
Rovers (A) - L
Salford (H) - W
Wigan (A) - L
Saints (H) - W

Only redemption for this season is a CC appearance / win and if we progress in this comp will probably suffer at least 1 more SL defeat to the predictions above.

Of course I hope I am proven completely wrong.......(apart from a CC win)

Widnes down are out of the equation and if we beat Bulls in our next SL game there also sunk which will leave 8 from 9.

Was having a discussion with a Rovers fan earlier today. Even though we have been disappointing recently I expect us to win at Bratfud and also beat Widnes at home. Rovers in the meantime have Warrington away and Wigan away, then we play at Caravan Park with both teams potentially on 24 points........

You'll be expecting to beat Bratfud at theirs coming off losses against Catalans, Cas, Wakey, Giants, Catalans(?).

Wow.

saints and wakeys remaining fixtures look more difficult than ours and rovers! I expect us to play rovers in the play offs, 6 v 7

Considering Bratfud have lost something like 8 from the last 9 why not??

Wakey got a tough run-in but they are on a roll.
