And yes I do know it's Leigh next but the Cup is a bigger chance than scraping into 6th offers.'"
Totally agree cup is priority this season for me
So much easier to win cup than league esp this season

Hope Griffins got another year'"
No it was the players they threw radford and Hodgson under a bus 100%
The players tried to do it again start of season but then realised Pearson and the fans aren't falling for it anymore
So the players had no where to hide

| Quote: BP1 "Because of that seven game losing streak, we've left ourselves with a good deal of catching up to do. Looking at the table as it currently stands, I reckon we need another seven, possibly eight, wins from our remaining fixtures. That doesn't give us much room for error. Our horrendous points difference is also a potential factor.
Like I said earlier, if we can win at both Leigh and rovers (neither of which will be easy) then we could haul ourselves onto their coat-tails and put pressure on them as we enter the season run-in. It's still asking a lot for us to claw the deficit back, and I'm not entirely convinced we have enough to put a run together so that we elbow our way into the top six and a play-off spot. But I think we're all a damn sight more hopeful than we were two months ago!
Either way, it's never simple being a B&W is it? Talk about an emotional roller-coaster! I'm getting too old for these nerve-shredding games. I swear blind that supporting our club has probably knocked twenty years off my life!!'"
The closeness of the league is against us this year aswell. You can usually rely on Wigan/Saints to keep winning against teams around 6th, 7th, 8th, which gives opportunity to match them up. but so far any team can beat anyone. Makes it harder to catch up when all teams are constantly picking up points. Could do with Cas to get their act together and keep picking up wins against the likes of Leeds, Rovers, Salford.

| Quote: Hullrealist "Never understood the Hoy hate. Constantly runs over 100m and a lot of his Carries are back line Carries which show a ton of commitment.
Also has the ability to slow breaks down like Chris has alluded to. Without his ability to get in the middle and put some doubt in the attacker swift doesn’t make the tackle yesterday. Also worth noting Hoy also made the right decision and probably made the tackle if swift hadn’t been there.
It’s fair to say litten is probably the busier fullback but I think a lot of that is because of how green he is. He wants to be involved and make something happen when a lot of the time he should just pass. (At times like hudds game it does work for sutty try but not often enough)
For now Hoy is undisputed #1. Let litten spend a season of two on wing to gain experience and he’ll then be ready to replace Hoy when he succeeds him or Hoy moves on.
Got to remember Hoy is also 23, is there a younger first choice fullback in SL?'"
Think people expected him to be French/field type impact soon as he stepped off the plane that was the issue

Whilst I agree to some extent that some players let Brett down, he has to take most of the responsibility you sign the likes of Gale, Evans, Reynolds, who will have been three of the highest paid players you are going to struggle.
Poor tactics, use of bench and team selections were also poor, I just don't think he was ready for a first team job.

| Quote: Mrs Barista "Completely agree about the next month but seriously can't see us getting anything out of it, and typically we face Saints as they run into brilliant form. However with relegation concerns now eased and some unexpectedly improved performances it feels a bit brighter for now! Hopefully we can get Griffin signed up and some quality in replacements for the players we're losing.'"
To be quite honest I'm not sure about St's, granted they had a good win and played some good rugby against Huddersfield but think a good part of that was down to how poor Huddersfield were. Don't get me wrong they are still one of the best sides in SL but they have shown they are not invincible and can be beaten, plus they are now in a position that they haven't been in for a long while in terms of not having most games their own way.
You could also say the same about our own form that we are now improving week on week and yesterday played some attractive attacking rugby whilst also being resolute defensively against the then table toppers. Think the team as a whole have shown that they do have the ability to compete and whilst we are unlikely to do much this season in the race for the GF which I think we've left too much ground to make up we certainly have a shot at the CC.
Then in saying that when you look at the table and some of the inconsistency of teams above us we are somehow only 6pts off the team in 3rd despite our 7 game run of defeat. All I'll say is it bodes well for what TS is building moving forward at the club which we haven't seen for a very long time.
Leigh this week is another key game and test for me as to our ability to be able to back a good performance. We now need to be able to show that we can put in another performance like Sundays and be consistent with those levels.
All thoughts on the next game against Leigh for now.

| Have to say early in the first half Warrington looked to be much faster than us and when we started with errors and six agains i feared the worst.
To their credit the team dug in and provided us with a second half of effort,good rugby League and the best excitement of the season.
What a pleasure it is to see us cutting loose from deep inside our own half,with players backing up,rather than 5 drives and and a kick.
As others have said special mention to Clifford (apart from the place kicking) and Hoy should be brimming with confidence after that game and i hope we now start to see him emerge as a key player for us.
I know McIntosh did better yesterday but our right edge of him,Scott and Lane is average so if they can be replaced with some speed and size,and we can keep Clifford,we could be looking at a very good team for next season if the club use their overseas quota wisely.
Swift however is going to be a big miss for us

Wiz nice to hear from you
You conveniently forgot that it was me a couple of seasons ago said we should move Griffin to the second row only to be pooh-poohed by the knowledgeable on here(said tongue in cheek)
Griffin had a good game yesterday and i hope he keeps up the effort and form but he was crap in his later years as a centre hence the move to second row a decision taken by himself and the club.
I am actually pleased for him that he has found some form and the shortage of UK second rows in S/L means he will probably get a years contract extension

You sound like former poster General Zod. So much bitterness to unpack. Breathe, and enjoy this window of relative good form - there's literally no need for unsubtle barbs against our hat trick hero.

He didn't quite have the good grace to mention or give the MoM, triple try-scorer any credit in his first after game post mind.
How heartwarming to hear he's '[iactually pleased'[/i for Josh. I'm sure it's 100% genuine.
*Where's the tounge in cheek emoji when you need it?

Can only assume it’s his stinker kicking for goal that has cost him. Missed out on the team of the week too.
