Pretty nervous about this game...

Think after their defeat at home to Featherstone and the way in which they lost the NRC Final last year they will be pumped up for this one.

No doubt we will be too but I don't think we are on-form at the minute even though we have won our last three games.

Hoping for a win but I can't see it so I'm going to wimp out and not predict the score...

The defensive deficiencies that have been apparent all season (look at our points against figure in the Championship - only the bottom 4 have worse records) were exposed once again by a decent team. We aren't going anywhere with that track record. Having said that it must have been difficult last night with I assume a fairly wet pitch and a slippery ball, so thanks to everyone for putting on what in the conditions was a pretty good game and let's be honest an awesome display by the Fax forwards, especially in the 2nd half.

They offloaded so many times in the first ten minutes of the second half. Ran us ragged in that period. People talk about lack of discipline but I don't give much credence to big penalty count differences either way. Things are rarely so black and white. And the two kickable penalties ? Both for things that had been happening all over the field throughout the game. Rugby League needs to take a good look at some of its rules. If referees penalised every infringement, it'd all be penalties. And do we need some of these ptb rules ? Probably not now the ptb isn't a contest.

Sure you can pick up on a fair few points where we could have won but we were 18-0 up - should have won from there.

Exactly Griff,Might aswell have a cardboard cutout behind the goals and save on wages,Complete waste of time,Never make decisions and if they do which happened last night they got overuled,As you say what's the point,didn't think ronnie was that bad TBH,We were better 1st half,They were better 2nd half,Fax probably deserve to just nick it,There's a penalty in nearly every 6 tackles,It's just random blowing off the whistle for the ones he wants to give,Offsides nearly every play the ball,The crucial bit is were abouts on the pitch he blows for the penalties,As you say he could blow the whistle for penalties all the time,As you say would have been nice to get to the final,Blackpool is a dump though so not hugely disapointed,at least we have improved on last years rail run which is good,We should be targeting this comp every year as we are a genuine contender to win it.

No complaints about the ref from me.
