The aims for the first 23 games are to secure a place in the 8s with 4 home fixtures and be battle-hardened without being busted. We started the weekend 4 points clear and we still are.

It might leave some people with a sour taste, but after our naivety last season, I'm not in the least bit sorry if the show is now being run by somebody willing to use the system to our advantage.

We might prefer one up, one down but we have to deal system as it is, not as we might wish it to be.

Yes.that is the truth. But the Leigh game I'd say Sheens has turned up the pressure on his team.best to find out now I suppose?

I'd say yes.even at lower level sport,im talking pub leagues people look at rules and systems and make it work to suit them .Would be nieve to think a coach of Sheens nous wouldn't have looked at how system could be bent for own benefit.From purely a fans pov we have put more pressure on ourselves for cup game by today's actions and my mindset for cup game has changed in that I was hoping to win now I want that win.worst case scenario is a scudding by weakened Leigh side versus our top lads and suddenly taking a dive today looks bad decision.in a nutshell I hope us as a club have looked at how top 4 will likely pan out.

I don't think Saturdays result matters no point risking players when there's no need we're going to finish top that's a cert we played the second best side at there place with a virtual second string and could have still won we played poorly against Fev and still out scored them 6 tries to 3 it will be interesting on Saturday but no shame in defeat even if they rest a few which I think they will

Re: 2 Tough Easter Fixtures : Mon Apr 17, 2017 5:55 pm  
I see both sides of the decisions today.the bigger question is how will bottom 4 of superleague fall?hudds wid look nailed on,probably Leigh after a good start.most pundits seem to think Warry will climb out of cesspit 8s so who will lurch into the bun fight? Catalans got few early biased calls today but were good enough to take advantage and as it gets warmer they will probably win enough home games to be safe.Wakey look solid even in last 2 televised losses . Salford for me are over performing and may bottom out.

Widnes Huddersfield Leigh and one other don't think it will be Salford Leigh's season is starting to remind me of our fist season in SL good start then start to wonder were the next win is coming from

There was a choice to be made. Field a weakened team today against the nearest opposition in our league, or go full tilt today and end up with half a squad available for the Leigh game. The other sub plot here is the anti tampering deadline, where if we show we are currently in a position to match a current SL side, some players who may have their head turned may think twice.

Yes I agree again. So who will finish 9th?Salford have the points in the bank but I still think they are vulnerable .If not then one of saints cats wakey or warry? Hull are capable of an implosion but got Leigh today at the right time.As much as I'd like them to bomb I concede it's unlikely.

Obviously a long way to go but at the bottom end of SL, I'd agree Widnes look near certainties for the middle 8s, with Hudds and Leigh probables. Then I think it could be anyone of three or four, just depending on injuries as much as anything. That's part of why I think the 8s won't last much longer - even a half decent team can get dragged in. And if they're scrapping to the end while Widnes are saving their strength...

Re: 2 Tough Easter Fixtures : Mon Apr 17, 2017 9:04 pm  
Sounds like we put up a gutsy and spirited display against Toulouse today. A 14 - 6 loss is not too shabby or maybe I am overestimating Toulouse. Didn't go and didn't listen due to family up for Easter.

If anyone did, how did JBF go on debut, Wardill on his return and Docker-Clay in the halves?

Would we have beaten them with a stronger and more experienced side out? Did we ask enough questions offensively?

Only listened but by the sounds of it we could have won it had chances wardill played well by all accounts JBF did ok and DC seemed very lively at full strength I think we'd have won easily
