| I still can believe we lost to batley who are having a poor season and there fans now calling for diskins head.
If that Toulouse try had not been given and we had beat batley we would be 2 points clear of London
My prediction is 4th now. I think we have improved but also the clubs around us who was expected to push on do not seem as good as expected. We need to win the summerbash fixture and hope London slip up as there should be a realistic target of snatching a place in the top 4

| Pleasantly surprised to be honest,not the struggle i was expecting this season.Think we will finish 5/6 but it's all to play for.Grady has proved a good acquisition but the decision to sign Mannone seems a poor one.

I cannot see mannone playing again this year. Grix as proved is worth this season and was missed yesterday

| We are playing good rugby and should be in the mix for a play-off position at the ned of the normal season - the only worry for me would be long term injuries for Grix or Murrell - Grix has been a very influential player and scored tries at crucial points in matches so I hope his elbow injury isn't a major one

| Like others, I am pleased with where we are and had it not been for a few brain-fart moments in the 2nd half against Fev and some rank decisions against Toulouse we could have been in a much better position.
Biggest plus is the return of the same passion we had a few years ago which you can see in our defence – we have made some crucial tackles including the one against Oldham the other night. Main worry is that we continue to make silly mistakes with the ball and don’t complete our sets, so we never build enough pressure on our opponents and this is affecting our attack.
On the player front, Mitch has been outstanding; Grix must be the best second row in the league, so let’s hope his injury is not too serious. Salty has been fantastic this year and I think he has improved his game, particularly his decision making and he certainly knows where the try line is. Elliot Morris has continued to improve and he and Woodburn-Hall have fully deserved their places in the first team. Hopefully Chester Butler and Luke Nelmes as well as other reserve players will keep the pressure on the first team. I also think we have used DR wisely when we needed to. Concern will be with the small squad and being light in certain positions, then a few injuries to key players could be telling. It was obvious the other night with Murrell off the pitch that we lost our game management as well as his leadership.

| Batley don't look as strong without John Kear. Toulouse have been surprise package. Looks like Hull KR and Fev top 2. Between us , London and Toulouse to make up top 4. Wouldn't write Batley of just yet as 4 points is not out of reach. Oldham looked a good solid side and could see them been best of the rest. Sheffield coming good again under guidance of Mark Aston. A lot to play for all we can ask is we keep in mix for top 4.
Mitch was awesome in 2 games and really lays the platform. Getting back to form he showed in first year. Muzza been great. Even young lads don't look out of place and reserves is showing fruition.

| Still all to play for and we have as good a chance as anyone for the fourth spot.
It will likely come down to who from the pack can get some form and impetus at the run in.

| We've got a bit of the 2015 vibe back, were working hard as a team in defence.
We pushed the top 3 close and could have easily nicked a result or two.
Personally I think we are a backs to the wall side, we play better when we're written off and not fancied.
There's a very handy pack in the squad and we have just about got enough speed to finish off the odd try in Rob, Ben, Salty and Sharp.
Sharp for me has been a very welcome surprise, he's one tough hombre, I haven't seen him back down on anything, and he gets the ball back with interest. Well done Will.
Injuries could derail us, we are clearly in need of halves and hookers for next year. Muzza just needs to keep them legs going for another 6-7 wins and we may have some cash to strengthen.
we need to beat Batley at home, put pressure on the others and nick a win on the road at either Fev, London or Toulouse I would say. In the meantime, get everyone fit and keep picking off wins against the sides below us.
We can do this, stingy in defence and ruthless in attack.

| Realistically was expecting mid table at best. Done very well to claw our way into top 4 contention. Will need to beat somebody above us though to get a foothold. Tolouse at Blackpool would be good after getting robbed at home.
Batley blowing hot and cold but don't write them off. Next home game against them is going to be massive.
Lots of twists and turns to come yet.
Just need some look with not getting anymore injuries.
Keep the faith.
