This a silly thread as this be a totally different team with 1.6 million to spend, and buy some off the team going down.I think alot goes down to bad coaching.Thackeray never a fullback,Gerrard not a standoff,and Lunt is much better than Netherton, but plays this fat slow machine.Ropati should be replaced by Ford and why was Hecky and Grady not playing?Basically players ill disciplined,penalties,sets,composure and a leader is required.Noble or Kear to come as coach.

Your right the team that played tonight wont have more than three names in it next year (and Dave Allen shouldnt be one of them he has the heart of a pea and when the going gets tough he gets going).
Get rid of the uselesss coaching staff bring in an experienced SL coach and with 1.6M£ to spend you'll do OK not spectacular for the first couple of years but after that all should come good, good luck.

Ropati? Id have him in my team all day every day. What is it about Widnes and good centres, can we expect Ropati to be plying at prop later in the season. What do you do to them.

Some more free money off the bookies again last night due to them underestimating how bad Widnes are. To be fair though Leigh looked very good and i fear when they play us it will be a cricket score as if Sheffields pack can totally dominate us then Leighs will trample over us. I used to take the mickey out of Leigh fans when they said they have been saying they have the best pack in the league for years as they clearly didnt. This season though they actually probably have. In all honesty i dont think their backs are that great in fact id have Faxs backs over theirs but with that pack on a roll its easy to see why they will dominate a lot of teams this season.

Even before this game we were under no illusions about how much we had to build for super league. Leigh are a very good attacking side who outclassed us tonight and fully deserved the win.

We have ten months to build a strong team and hopefully turn up to super league with a competitive side.

Don't kid yourself about Leigh being a 'very good attacking side.' Like yourselves they wouldn't win a single Super League game in a season. The fact that they took you to the cleaners last night sums up what a joke your inclusion in SL is.

Cringing for the way rugby league must be being percieved by other sports.

You're spot on. Us, a good attacking side - you don't know the half of it, we're only averaging 46 points a game. Not good enough.

It really irks me, when people dismiss Championship sides, as not good enough for SL.

Please answer me one question - if your team (whoever they are) were in the Championship, how many SL quality players could you afford, on a cap of £300k?

Point being, we have no need to be a good SL team because we are not one, we can only beat what is put in front of us!

Regardless of what has been said, with Millward at the helm, you're always going to have a decent attack. Even if it pains me to say, not many teams could withstand the second half displays we've faced.

Bit tricky to win one when they don't take part in it, to be fair!
