Hindsight is a great thing but was competition so fierce to keep him that a 4 year deal was needed? Some of these deals are haunting us.

I'm not sure if they will, I feel like for a lot of fans, me included, this season was the season to give it one last shot. If Wigan had the same season as us, and I saw that next year Keighran, Leeming, Chan and Walters were coming in, that'd make me excited and give it another shot, but at the moment, whilst our signings could turn out ok, personally, I don't think they're inspiring, we've got a second row who's fans nicknamed him knockonbur, an unknown 20 year old prop who could be brilliant or could struggle (remember how good Bienek looked from a highlight reel?), Ese'ese brings experience and could be good, Ashworth and Tindall who struggle to get games for their current clubs, and Walker, whilst a good player, make it looks like Hoy will be in the halves, playing in ta position where we should have made recruitment our number 1 priority. The club have to start performing to make me want to attend regularly again, rather than going for the sake of it out of blind loyalty to the club in the faint hope that we will come good again.

The loop games will make SL grow like never before.

The club would be better making a statement and playing the kids, the fans would get behind that

Whilst pleased for Cas that this win all but secures their status. I have to agree with others on here.
there’s a consistent malaise within the group and lack of professional pride.
kr recruited 3 of our players and something like 5 from Bradford, but they brought in leaders too.
All the top teams have natural leaders minimum 2 or 3.
I can’t see even one in our 17.

Fash and Brown offer something.

Lane is awful, but Cator offers very little, massively overrated by alot of our fans.

Pretty much copy and paste of the Warrington & Leeds games, stuck it to Wigan but just fell short and since then they’ve not looked anything like and switched off.

For me Smith should be taking some responsibility too for continuing to select certain players and repeating the combinations that have failed so many times even under Hodgson.

Granted we are a basket case but there’s no excuse for that level of non performance from so called professional sportsmen regardless of where they are playing next season.

When Cator first came into the team it seemed to work, he shored up the defense and his work rate seemed to spur on some of his compatriots while others took on the metre making going forward.
Currently in this pack he is just anonymous.
No argument on Lane, just not good enough.

We are in a really bad spot . But I still believe Smith is the man to turn things round. For sure next year is massive. But it's Smith first year with a team he's moulding. Of course we could all stop going and then we'd have no club. Be like monaire who just whines like a slapped a rse and properly never gives a penny to the club. Anyway we are S hite no denying. But always next year

Neither Fash or Brown are good.

Didn't surprise me tonight. I expected the defeat. When you have nothing to play for and players are just waiting for their holidays and pastures new then along with having our first 3 choices in the halves out, then it was inevitable.

For me tonight was the time to give a load of youngsters a run out. Our first team have proved that they ain't quite good enough, so let's see what the next generation can do? They might just suprise you. At tleast they'll be enthusiastic with a point to prove. Not like we have anything to lose.

Pearson left early, probably heading to Wakefield, see whose available.

Fash is decent squad player, if Brown had come through at Saints or Wigan who would be twice the player he is.
