Just to be clear, you don't believe that falling gates and the subsequent reduced revenue affects the sustainability of the club? We just magic the missing cash out of thin air somehow?

Another top result today that will get the stayaway fans flocking back to the KC

With Wigan to look forward to on Friday night.

Why can I just imagine your sat there with a grin on face ??
The second the games over and your on here have a pop . Away to wire with important players missing ... Never thought for a second we would win this tbh

Similar to all year in terms of effort. The aim of trying to entertain seemed #1 priority today, but the fancy stuff attempted was just crazy at times.

From our squad numbers we had 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 11, 13 (lost mid game), 15 and 16 missing. That's a fair group. Not an excuse by any means, but a little mitigation.

I didn't expect a win, but I did at least expect a contest against the weakest Wire side for a few years. Not to get 46 points put past us.

as for the 'grin on face' comment, believe me I'd like nothing better than for the club to turn things around and prove me wrong, but I can't see many signs of progress. The only bright spot is how many young players are coming through, and we've gone and thrown that in the bin by merging the academy! After all the hype and noise from Pearson we are still at the inconsistent, mid-table level we were at in the Agar days.

Are sa and lineham injured or just dropped?

Don't know.

Thought you knew everything?

Dropped but i dont blame Radford for not playing them given they are leaving the club.

That said Naughton will never make a good quality Super League winger so i dont know where his future position is with the club other than as a back up.

Agree Naughton's not impressing. Backs as a group for 2016 are a concern IMO. Only Talanoa and Fonua proven really.

and Talanoa seems to be getting his fair share of knocks this year, anyone know what was keeping him out today?

I've liked Naughton but not seen today. Although in his defence only turned 20 a few months back

Fair share? Missed 2 ain't he? And 1 of them was the runs

He's played 23 rounds this year and 3 cup games.

Really?. Never realised that.
I've ploughed literally thousands and thousands of pounds into the club over the last 37 years of being a supporter. I won't feel guilty if I don't renew.

imo still think naughton can cut it, but he has gone of the boil last couple of matches, binman hardly misses any games so not bothered there

today's result changes nothing, it's what we've known for a while, we're consistantly inconsistant.

I think a raft of people had already decided what they were going to do with regard to a season pass before todays match, I really don't think Pearson is going to sway those that are disgruntled with how we are going to get one, they might turn up for games and maybe even pay more in the long run but right now even with some excellent signings for next year it's hard to get excited.
I honestly think we should have got this season out the way and delayed pass sales a few weeks and geeing up fans a little later after the dust has settled on what has been a fairly dissapointing season, it might have been a better way to eek out more pass sales.
Some fans will just see Pearson on the vid and think negatively, I'm unsure with regard to him understanding how some fans think with regard to how we are going and the effect that is having on them. The last thing they need is AP with a rallying call, or from another viewpoint, a begging bowl and more waffle.
As I've said, I'll always come to games no matter what but I think it needs a little more thought/different approach with regard to when and how you put that rallying call out. the general membership is a good idea but a half season pass might have been an option also.

It will be interesting to see what pearson's stance is if we get hammered at wigan and fail to compete against hudds again at the kc. Do we just accept we have some injuries and everything will be great next season?

I wasn't questioning your decision whether to renew or not - that's entirely up to you. I was questioning the reasoning behind your dismissal of any claim by Pearson that a drop in revenue would adversely impact the club. Seems pretty much self-evident to me so I was interested in why you felt otherwise.

Got mine and the lads yesterday

That performances moves me very close to the yes decision.

Just go it Dave you know you want to

More performances like that might even get miserable critics like myself change their minds too. Would much rather see a young team giving their all, playing with flair and pace (even if making a few errors or mistakes because of it) than the 'grind it out' rugby we saw earlier in the season from the same tired faces. We may still finish only midtable playing with a younger team, but it would be a hell of a lot more exciting to watch.

The performance last night reminded me of how we looked when we first moved to the KC in 2003/2004, a young team just needing that extra few class players to push on, which hopefully Manu, Pritchard and co can bring.
