We are doomed,let's all be realistic

Over the next 3-4 sl games well see the return of Diskin, sidlow, Gaskell and ferguson plus by then players will be becoming available. I can see us staying up. I reckon we're two props off it.

Wakefield and London continue to drop points and above them a few clubs continue to not turn up.

Well I'm not confident, you'd expect it's Wakey we need to keep pace with and they still have a 6 point cushion. That's a pretty big advantage over 20 games. We have yet to see who we can sign (or when they'll arrive) and a few more injuries thrown in and we'll really struggle to claw it back. We need some quality in the pack and some good fortune to get out of the hole we're in.

I agree. I worried that, coming out of administration, there would be a repeat of the Hull result. But the determination and character shown by the team makes me believe that the players do think they can stay in Super League. Two or three additions and the return of some of the injured players give us a fighting chance.
A 4 point loss to Widnes is no disgrace.
The comments by Chemics fans ( and the post match comments by Betts) add to the deserved reputation of Widnes --a classy organisation from the chairman all the way through to the supporters

Massive improvement from 1-17 yesterday. The best 40 minutes of rugby we've played all season by a long stretch. If the game had gone on for another 5 minutes we would have snatched it in my opinion. We also need to remember that Widnes are no mugs. They've managed to achieve 5 wins out of 6 and looked like they were on the ropes for large sections of that second half.

Yes it's disappointing to lose out after a gutsy second half performance but we weren't that far off yesterday. With a couple of new additions, as well as the returning Diskin, Sidlow, Ferguson and Gaskell, I'm hopeful we can perform a mid-season revival.

It's what is coming that has me worried.

The RFL are helping you out yet again by having the corrupt officials reffing Hull, HKR, Wakey & Hudds.

Have you been onto Oliver Stone to direct this conspiracy theory?
