... so who would you have playing from the bench then?

I really want to say I'm confident of a result, they've got a couple back, we're looking light on the bench, hot n humid and after a slap in the chops at home against leigh.
24-28 to us but could be a spanking either way, atm you just can't predict with any certainty whatsoever what Hull side are going to turn up, let's hope it the 12 man against Cas one.

The site was down which maybe explains the lack
of comments
Or could it be we're all speechless with how the season is panning out ?

Losses to Leigh and Cats (who have the 2 worst current form over last 6 matches), can't be
helping the morale at all

We only have another poor form team to play next

Last thing we need is Cas in the Cup

Said before we need a catalyst , something , anything
Can't Schofield call the whole team useless ?

Just woke up from a nightmare.
FFS Steve Michaels, you you got to the ball easily, just ground the fooking thing and it's 2 points in the bag!!!!
Jesus, Griffin & Rawsthorne, don't take each other out, one of you take that ball in the air, please!!!!
We're good, if anyone can grab defeat from the jaws of victory, it's us.
Looked like absolutely amazing support, they deserved better.
It's wrong, but I physically want to hurt James Child whenever he's near a rugby pitch!

Another dumb performance. I honestly wasn't expecting a win and feared the worst early doors but we were at least showing some effort. Skill and composure were missing and to have got into a seven point lead and blow it is very disappointing.

Discipline continues to be a major problem and Watts will surely miss two or three games, maybe more.

According to HDM Watt's problem is just over exuberance and he did OK other than getting sent off. I don't see it that way. He has undoubted skills as a prop but is a penalty machine which undoes much of his good work. He seems to be one of those people that does not learn from experience.

Our discipline is awful,its the same every game.The people who sit near me complain about it every week and it never changes.We were beaten by an ordinary team last night and Radford has to start earning his pay.Last season we had no injuries,this season we do and our coaching staff have got to show they are up to the job.Looks like we are going to be a prop short again for another few games,again.You have to feel sorry for all the fans who spent their hard earned money watching a team who lacked discipline,lacked ideas and lacked leadership.How many times has this happened before,great one season,poor the next.

Our performances these last few weeks have been dreadful, both games this weekend were easily winnable but for the second time this season we fell in to Catalans trap of falling for their game spoiling tactics, their experienced players like Bird, Moa, Walsh and Casty ran the show while our supposed experienced players like Watts lost their heads.

Got to be pressure on Radford now, the Wembley win was fantastic but how many poor league performances have we put in during his time in charge? The tactics, skills and game plan are next to non existent, he is lost without his big players barging the ball up, there is no planB. Worrying thing is it is hard to see where the next win will come from.

You think Radford's job is at threat right now with the Challenge Cup in the cabinet and sat in 5th with a large chunk of the cap sat in the stand?

We have managed to find a way to lose the last two games which is gutting.
Both games there to be won and we blew them both.

Think you're missing the point of Ullfc's post.
We have been shocking of late and inconsistency has dogged Radford's tenure (cup win aside)
We fell away badly last year when all was there for the taking and I take sitting in 5th as no solace as we should be sitting much higher if only we didn't continue self destructing.
Losses people can take, accepting we have injuries is part and parcel of the game but this shocking 1 dimensional play and no ability to perform mentally is the issue people allude too.
This is all Radford's job to sort out and if he can't the sentiment of a cup win should not breed complacency.
You may be content sitting in 5th but I am not.
A team with our credentials with consistency I would expect to be performing better.
This is no dig at Radford or a call for his head but people have the right to question him right now.

Where did I say he didn't have the right to question Radford? One person's complacency at Top 5 is another's indignant sense of entitlement to a Top 4 place, surely?

Disappointing to lose as we did and you can't fault the effort but, yet again, dumb errors and ill discipline cost us.

We're in a hole and the only way I see out is to get the bulk of our first choice players back but that doesn't look likely and we'll not see watts for the next 2-4 games.

With the fixtures coming up the best I can see is scraping into the top 8's with the season over by July. Worst case scenario is falling off a cliff into the middle 8's

Best team again, Catalans were poor and didn't look like scoring unless we gave them chances, very negative side.

But as Jake says usual problems, too loser with the ball, failure to deal with kicks and discipline.

With 10 to go had the game won, don't concentrate at kick off, penalty try, then the next set, in control give away a penalty late in the art, try.

Lots of effort and some good play, but real dumb play.

Not sure what Radford can do at the moment

Got to try abs win one more game to make us safe, starting with Wigan on Saturday

Like the opposite of last year. Very few injuries and winning close games vs several key injuries and losing close games.
