Our conditioner seems to be sackless

99 % of experts had us finishing 12th before a ball was kicked. Most non Trinity fans had us in bottom two, many Trinity fans had us in bottom 4, many in bottom 2. So our level was bottom two. We are now fighting for that 8th spot. Realistically Saints and Warrington are not going to finish in bottom 4. We need to keep ahead of Widnes, Leigh and Huddersfield ( who will find some form ) making sure we win all games against them and take advantage of the magic weekend extra fixture against Widnes. We have got to hope that Catalans go through another dodgy patch and we must if possible win our home game against them. Catalans are the team we are going to have to finish above in order to get 8th.
With the squad we have 8th would be an incredible result, 9 th would be excellent and 10th above par. Finishing 11th or 12th would not be a disgrace, the league is even and only Cas have shown to be a cut above the rest. Huddersfield will get better and so I think will Widnes, no easy games thats for sure.

I may be a "glass half full" guy, but I really don't understand the negativity, we're not even half way through the first 23 fixtures yet and we're doing quite well. We've just been beaten by the grand finalists (probably/possibly), Cas are beating most teams, Wigan were fortunate to leave us with the 2 points. Lets get behind the team and shout them onto more wins this season.

I agree. Our glass isn't full but it's more than half full for me.

we gain nothing from going home and kicking the cat!

against Wigan I thought our defence was outstanding ... they have some class and an international quality spine to the team.... we handled that well...

I thought however that effort meant we had little energy left in attack

just below the champions.. in a very tight game... that's a level that should make us happier, than not!

our next objective is to do that in every game...

so far this season we have slipped in effort and application on far fewer occasions than I have seen in previous seasons... that's progression

next test is Warrington.
