I might be a minority and I know we're in a bit of a hole at the moment but I'm still hopeful we can make the 5. I don't care which team you are with the amount of injuries and individuals playing who clearly aren't 100% its going to take affect - Look at Hull last year.
Remember we're only 2 point off 5th, with Fifita, Tupou, Ashurst (main strike players) coming back shortly I'd like to think we're going to turn a corner with 11 games still to play. I think we've underestimated how much Tom and Bill are missed coming away from our line, as Chester says its 300m per game.
Our defence really needs some work but its the way we're turning the ball over and gifting teams decent field position that's most frustrating.
Maybe they do mate but that doesn't mean you're 300 metres a game down. You have to factor in the fact that their replacements will make metres and then you are no where near 300 metres a game down. Having said that I do understand how much you miss both of them.
Interestingly Cas are in a very similar boat to us in terms of form yet nobody seems to be panicking about them. I only bring this up because if there was ever a time to end the hoodoo against them its now.
Terrifying in a way that our best chances of wins are against three teams who have a history long and short of beating us. Hudds my not have been doing so well of late but you can just see it all the same.
Thats why I'd play every game as if it were a relegation decider.
That's true. Makes you wonder about the great team spirit we have. I know that's putting 2 + 2 = 5 but Horo followed by PP and now Huby. I try to not read too much into stuff but that's not the settled nature of the team that we are used too. I can't pretend this doesn't worry me, a lot.

Justin told me was going back home at the end of the season, I’m sure Craig has probably succumbed to his injuries, sad as I rated him, Pauli, I’m not sure, maybe game time, fitness, attitude I’m struggling but I very much doubt it’s a team spirit thing.

Lots of Cas fans are panicking and more will when Salford pump us Friday. We have London to play twice at home which I guess could be useful. We will both be ok.
After KR at home, London play Cas (A), Wire (H), Hull (A), Saints (H).

Still think they're the ones going down.
Have to say Salford are the surprise package of SL, more so even than London. Although they haven’t won any more tha either of us I think they have played a lot better. A few good players and some real fight, it’s certainly what Wakey need to get back.

I know that, the difference is the current backs make minimal ground and get dominated in the tackle. Its very rare either Tom or Bill are put on their backs, they usually break the first tackle, find their front ad get a quick PTB allowing the forwards to get a roll on.
People say forwards win games and that's true to an extent but if the back 3 returning the ball are dominated then its a uphill struggle from there.

Yep, you've only gotta look at their PD to see that they've been decent by large.
