Now, now. Squeaking a draw against a part time outfit with fans reportedly scrapping with Fev stewards is where it's at. Is that fine still suspended?

Imagine being the middle eights and potentially facing away trips to both Toulouse and Perpignan in August/September.

Widnes looking to strengthen and targeting top 8 still, Hudds resurgent..we need to steer well clear.

chester showing what a good coach he is now he doesn't have a chairman and a football manager making his decisions for him

leigh look the most vulnerable to me unless they have some cap space left to strengthen

If Widnes and Hudds make the top 8 they've got to take a lot of points off teams around us, we won't be down there. I know we're 9 points clear and I've not done the math but I wonder if it's even possible given that every week 6 teams have to lose.

We're safe in the top 8's but with a really tough run in we need some players back, some consistency and to stay relatively injury free if we're to be in with a shout of top 4 at the split. Looking at the fixtures we could win all of the remaining ones or lose them all depending on whether we improve our ball control, discipline and defence

Not sure what Beaumont's Middle 8s plan is, other than he was expecting to be in them at the start of the season, so you'd think he has one.

Well, our discipline at least was better yesterday. We need to get three of our first choice props back, plus our captain, and Dream Team winger. As others have said if we were able to scrape through the next few and be in the mix, in theory we'd then have a fresher squad than last year as we've had big players like Houghton, Ellis, Talanoa, Watts etc missing big chunks already. I think Connor is proving to be a really valuable player for us too - I can see why Huddersfield got into a scrap with us over him. With Sneyd out long term his contribution could be crucial.

connor and kelly both look to be one decent hit away from missing games through injury

I remember some people doubting the signing of Connor when we did. I remember saying to people that he'd be an automatic name in the 17 by the end of the season.
Liked him at Giants, like what I've seen in the black and white and think there's a lot more to come yet.

Kelly does look vulnerable in his current state judging by the strapping on his shoulder.
Saying that, he does seem to be one tough hombre.

Certainly. Although Kelly was running OK yesterday for his try.

most players I suspect are one hit away from missing games

Yeah but he was caught earlier on and also in one of the other games last weekend when I thought he'd go away and score. Definitely not quite as quick as when he's 100%
