Really flat, subdued atmosphere at the game today. Took my Mother in laws partner who is a footy fan (Middlesbrough) and he enjoyed it but I told him it seemed very flat today.

Some good tries scored, defended well, Gale was awful, hit from Savelio was fine IMO - Langi fractured shoulder it seems, so not even high!

Thought Gale probably had his best game for us pity for Wakefield he was on their side.

Risk and reward. Short drop out a few minutes from half-time when you are under pressure and 12-0 up I don't get it at all.

Did the exact same thing against Saints away earlier this season and arguably changed the game.

TS has a rep for coaching high risk & reward teams. He even said in his post match interview how it’s sometimes hard for him to tell his players to “wind their neck in” when he coaches them to play what they see with enjoyment.

At least it’s not boring.

TheTalentBoy has to thickest bloke in world.

We looked steady today but got on top of it wakey and don’t think they offered too much.

I do think the Dre tackle was as shoulder charge and we were probably lucky it wasn’t on tv. We’ll see what the disciplinary panel say but hopefully we have a reserve game scheduled.

If we beat Warrington, Leeds, cas & Hudds we probably sneak in the 6

Probably and sneak yeah confident words there

Remember this time last year most on this forum were banging on about walker and longstaff

And I said they were bang average...they're now championship players

Funny how most of what I say ends up right

At least do your research, Walker is playing SL.

All at home...... they haven't won an away game all season

Catalan no - top but saints esp and Wigan still the teams to beat esp away

Saints have won 4 grand finals on the trott coming towards play off time when they shine and no challenge cup to worry about but yeah "good fixture" eh

So you've just admitted 5/6 will be needed

Can you read, I said If we win 5/6 we would make the play offs, I also said we could if we win 4/6. You said we had to win them all, which is wrong.

I'm a fan of it why just hand the ball back? try to win it back

And sometimes it's easier to defend your line 10m out than 30 or 40m out

As a back up will he play next week? ..

No chance

He's spent majority of the season at Bradford in the championship!

I was pretty much in line with it in the west stand. Just looked to be a good hit from Savelio.

Basically that just a solid hit

But now due to ex players the RFL are clamping down

Ex players are to blame

Entertaining second half, with good support from Wakey, Carlos more like it, the great Danny Houghton just keeps going, will we ever find a player who can replace him, Clifford at his best today, a tricky fixture against a side who has found some form, two points secured and nice to see a fabulous reception all round for the great Trevor Skerett.

As well as the Dobbons trolls who appear on here I've now put The Talent Boy on ignore. He offers nothing and simply comes on to be controversial. I won't miss him.
