Barring the Widnes game, we are probably where we expected to be right now in terms of results. Its the next 5 games that will determine how our season is going to go imo, we need to take one game at a time though starting with London which is a must win by all accounts. After seeing their defensive efforts against Rovers last week, I think its fair to say a defeat there would all but destroy our season. Time for the lads to stand up and be counted.

Before the season started I'd have expected us to beat Huddersfield, seeing that we thrashed them in the play-offs last year.

that was last yr and they have massively improved.

Although we cannot take any team for granted, the next 6 SL games are very winnable. If we cannot ‘expect’ to win these games, then it is season over.

I am not a gambling man, but if I had to put money on it, I would consider 12 points from the next 6 SL games to be the safest bet.

Well if we can't score at least 30 points against the KR defence we should give up!!

We've had a tough start for sure and probably would have liked 3 more points - win that game at Saints and beat Widnes which was a debacle. I think we're going in the right direction personally but obviously need a top quality scrum half to make the top 4 step up. As someone else said the players now need to front up and win the next few games - we've played some good sides at the start and we're some way off the standard in attack but hopefully as the weather improves we might start playing a bit more freely with the ball. Need 3 from the next 4 minimum to give ourselves a chance in the second half of the season.

I am going for outright stupidity caused by years of horiffic interbreeding.

I can't see us putting 30 past Rovers in all honesty.

How are we doing compared to the corresponding fixtures last year?
Off the top of my head I get it as we're 2 points down (a point against Wire at home last year, and 2 points against Saints away last year).
That's not too bad. I was expecting a better year, but if we are not a million miles off last year, and other than Giants I won't be surprised if a few of the top 8 from last year are down on points from corresponding fixtures. Everyone is betting everyone this year.

What is everyone on? The arrogance is almost laughable that most people are thinking we can win 4-6 of the next six games when weve only won two from seven so far and look completely inept in attack and in three of the games have simply folded under a bit of pressure. Were relying on one man in Holdsworth who really doesnt seem right at present and if hes out weve had it and even if hes in we still look very basic in the things we do going forward.

I cannot see how we're any different from under Agar tbh and a 7-8th place beckons with no chance in the play offs or the challenge cup. I see no improvement in anything we do from week to week and fully expect us to get hammered by a so called lesser team in the coming weeks. But of course the usual suspects will keep supporting the club/coach just like they did under Sharpe/Agar and we'll keep meandoring on like we have done for years gone by.

You cut and pasted this from last season?????...so come on smartar$e..who would you like as coach??????

if i didnt think we could win matches then i wouldnt re-new my pass every yr but i do think we can and cant see why we cant...we can play but are just not putting it together and if you dont think there is a improvement then you must be watching...oh hang on...befre you start bitching id go to games but your a fickle fan so your comments have no bearing.

I'm suprised you've responded to Seb's post. I didn't think anyone took any notice of what he says.

Sounds like 2 poor teams for the derby, we are ok in defence and pretty strong in the forwards but can't score. Rovers can score for fun at times but can't defend and often get steamrollered in the forwards. Could be the poorest SL derby yet.

I'd expect us to score a few against Rovers' defence like we did against Castleford's. I just hope that we have some confidence behind us going into that game - London game is an important one.

sebs our supporter of the year, i really dont know why he bothers
