Well yes they should be but it doesn`t always follow. Last night watched a good game between fax and Widnes but to be honest Widnes was flattered by the scoreline a little .We have beaten them twice and I think others teams will too.In the first half their play was very predictable one man stuff and they did not know what to do with the ball when they got it.They are going to have to improve but then other teams are improving also.
Some of the Widnes players are not earning their corn.

Are you sure you didnt play Leigh

This team was never going to test the likes of Wakefield it was professionals against Semi pro, it is just not going to happen the gulf now between SL and the lower league clubs is massive.
A good cup run in the CC is always going to be a a no chance situation the days of beating SL opposition is over and now especially there is no promotion or relegation for next four years .We have a young side who are not ready for the likes of these games in four years if we continue to grow these players and keep our local talent on our door step maybe we could have a better future .
Neil Kelly is no fool he is building a squad that in a few years down the line can compete, it is the right road to take last night was a case of men against boys .
If for instance if Wakey had played Halifax or Widnes , it would have been a case of men against has bins we are going down the right path patience is required it wont happen in one game.

Neil Kelly Wednesday - "Wakefield is my home town so I want to put a good performance in but, with all due respect to ourselves, I don't think we are going to be in the final at Wembley," he said.

"It would be great if we could - and I'd be crowned king just after it - but the real meat in the sandwich for us this year is the Northern Rail Cup and the Co-operative Championship."

Neil Kelly Friday - " I can't dispute Wakefield dominated the ruck, got the speed of the play-the-ball they wanted and the cumulative process of that is they dominated the game and the scoreboard.

"It was an unstoppable tide.

"We have to learn to some harsh lessons and I just don't think we all fully believed when we came here we could compete. Ultimately you pay the price for that."

No wonder they didn't believe they could compete.

I agree, no wonder we got stuffed with our coach giving the defeated buzz, very unhappy about the whole thing

Where we ever gonna win? Never so move on!

rubbish, if there not good enough they should not be in there

It would'nt have mattered what NK said to them the outcome would have been the same the young lads are no match for sl as Salford Wigan and now Wakefield have proven it was never going to be any other result.The league for me is much more important and i believe we picked up a couple of injuries hope nothing to serious.

point missed

Oh sorry but your an expert arn't you

May be you should take Kelly's job then !

why. because i have an opinion

Am i missing something you say if they are not good enough they should get out ''a woeful opinion in my book'' .Correct me if i am wrong it was pro players against semi pro last night? A massive advantage I would say we were never going to beat Wakey and we are going to have to live with the fact that this is going to be the case every time we play SL opposition as long as this remains the case .

His opinions are like his playing, shocking

you are missing the point, the coach raised a white flag before a try had been scored no wonder the player never turned up, and all this planning for the future crap, the player round about at leigh has never been as bad, new coach new players new coach new player its a sham

there is no planning
