As opposed to you who would rather risk us being relegated ?I DO NOT SEE US WINNING THE CUP AND BEATING EITHER WIRE OR HULL.
I do see us having a cup run and then losing focus on the games that matter being distracted and then ending up in the million pound game.
Would you swap the Wembley final for the million pound game
I wouldn't

Let's wait and see before throwing the insults around.
Players not playing for Anderson which leaves us in a really dangerous position

| 1 - I do not want us to lose the cup game, can't see why we would want to do that.
2 - When we play the middle 8's, there's no guarantee we will make the million pound game we have to make 4/5th place in the middle 8's, the way Leigh and Bradford played last week we may struggle to compete!

It's true trust me, not here to create rumours or convince people, people can believe me or not. I said on another thread 2 weeks before it came out that Anderson and Brough had a major fallout and did not get on and the reason for all the transfer rumours.
A source v v close to the club tells me a lot.

| At this very moment in time I`ll be happy to see:-
1 Another win
2 Some bloody passion
3 Some pride
and 4 Some signs of leadership
I think it was 8 or 10 points from penalties plus returned possession that went begging in the 1st half
It would have kept us in touch and even in the lead !Instead we chose to "maintain pressure" and it all came to nought Pressure ? We couldnt crush a grape at the moment!
Said it before when Ken says bring a friend " How do you sell what we`re marketing to newcomers?
THATis the most serious aspect of all this - attendances!!...........and the thought of watching us in the Million pound game ? Dont think the old ticker could take it !!
But at the moment that and a good cup run is all I can pray for !

The million pound game will be made up of Leigh and one Sl club.
The SL club will be probably from Huddersfield Leeds Salford Hkr.
On current form it will be us against Leigh as Leeds at least have some ability to win big games.
In a game of us. Vs Leigh. Anything could happen with our injuries and poor discipline I would not be confident..
If brought was injured or not available for the million pound game we would be knackered.

Don't see us winning another game until we go into the 8s.
Players not interested in the league. Only interested in the cup.
Hope wakes stuff us in the cup.
I can imagine us having a good cup run and being in the million pound game.
I would not fancy Us against; Leigh in the million pound game.
One team with something to play for and the other who have lost confidence in the coach.
Lose the million pound game and welcome to oblivion as the Giants will be dead.
Still the loyal supporters will be happy'"

You and jools are so good at the snide comments but do me a favour and answer some questions.
Will we be in te bottom 8s or are you still kidding yourself we will be in the top 8s. ?
If we are in the bottom 8s will a longer cup run help with the Giants injury problems / fatigue issues ?
If we are in the bottom 8s do you think we will have the beating of Leeds Hkr, Salford Widnes ?
Will we be disciplined enough as a team to rack up enough points to keep us out of the mpg ?
Whilst we will bear Fev Bradford London Batley will we beat Leigh ( who are going to spend big in te next couple of weeks to build a top team for the 8s.
Is our confidence so high that the team will suddenly pick up form
If we get into the mpg do you think our class will mean we walk it or is it anyone's on the day?
Do you think Anderson is the right man to have in the trenches with you in that mpg scenario.
There might be a lot of ifs but none of them are impossible

| I've never kidded myself thinking we would make the top 8, i accepted after the Hull game that we would be in the bottom 4, i accepted that we weren't going to be in the top 8's weeks ago, yet people seem shocked and angry that we are stuck in the middle 8's all of a sudden.
As for the rest then who can say? we are capable of beating any other side on our day, and we are also capable of losing to any other side on our day. It's churlish to suggest that we WILL beat teams or lose to others.
Personally, i think we will be good enough to avoid the million pound game.

No changed this year. They can spend up to the cap based on income.
Beaumont is allowed to give the money to the club which counts as income.
He has openly said he will be recruiting some Aussies and they will be spending full super league salary cap.
Will try to find the link

Could not find the Beaumont link but this summarises it

I'd resigned myself we would be bottom 8 some time ago.
A longer cup run against Batley and London will be preferable than a cup run whilst playing wire and Wigan.
Yes we can
Time will tell
Yes we can beat Leigh. We have the advantage of inside info on them.
The cup could give us confidence.
We won't be on that situation
There's no one else available I'd say would be better. Would you have taken Chester? I doubt that very much.
