Lose next week and we finish 10th is that right.

If that doesn't give us a wake up call nothing will.

Our performances Rovers game apart have been pathetic the last 10 games, you only have to look at the effort of Salford, Hudds and Wakey the last few games, none of these have anulyhthing to play for but are still playing to win.

Big chances needed, does Pearson have the balls or cash?

No, we'd finish 9th.

I disagree. Put your money into your best starting team and let the youngsters make up the squad, and when the youngsters come into the team, they'll be playing with better, more consistent players, instead of the inconsistant team they're coming into now.

Isn't that what has happened this year though?

I didn't do the Maths, just had a quick look at the table, it must be close between Hudds and us when we lose and they win.

If Wakefield beat us and assuming they beat Leigh today as do Huddersfield next week it'll be

Wakefield 41.67%
Hull 40.48%
Huddersfield 39.13%

Huddersfield will have won more but they'll have played 24 games (including the 0-24 walkover game against Cas).

Thanks, pretty depressing either way.

Really poor. No real excuse either. Every club has had injury or covid issues. 9th in a poor league is inexcusable. Wigan being fourth tells you all you need to know.

We looked very poor yesterday and I was struggling to see any green shoots. We may as well have played a few younger players to get sone sort of positive out of it.

We could really go with a win next week, apart from Leigh our confidence must be the lowest in the league and it really wont help going into the off season on the back of 6 defeats.

Unfortunately there is little chance of that happening.

Think we really need to bring in at least 3 players, 2 pivots (hooker and halfback) and another forward. The only way this can happen is to somehow offload a couple of players including Fonua.

I also think we need new or extra backrow staff, new conditioning team and a attack minded coach, I'd bring in Lee Briers.

Unfortunately most recruitment is done around June/July and things looked ok then, so it may be too late

Just had a play about with scenarios and no matter what happens next round, we finish 8th.
Lose, we’ll be on 21 games with 17 points giving 40.47%
Wakey will be on 23 games with 18 points giving 39.13%
Hudds if they win will be on 24 games with 18 points giving 37.5 %.

Wakefield play Leigh this afternoon a win will improve their % then beating us will take them above us on 41.66

Apologies, I forgot about their game today.
So as you pointed out, a Wakey win today and next week, puts them 8th and us 9th. Really shabby end to a bollox of a season. I went to Nth. Cave after the game yesterday and a Cas bus was there. Had a bit of banter with them about us being crap. Normally I would have said” give the Dobbins a tonking” but my heart just wasn’t in it.
Play offs are interesting.
If Cas and Leeds win, Dobbins drop out of the six
Dobbins and Cas win, Leeds drop out
Dobbins and Cas lose, Cas drop out.
