And only been here 18 months. I was determined not to post but some mega idiots on here. MEH.

Other than Tarquin I'm not sure I've seen anyone calling for him to be sacked yet but then again I might have missed something.

Spinning your point on it's head and playing devil's advocate here.
It's okay we've lost the last 3 games, turned in 3 abject performances and got beaten by 2 teams below us because hey we beat Wigan 4 weeks ago so we can ignore our current poor form.
Does that sum it up right and demonstrate how opinions can be spun.

How can we go from the highs of a Wigan to the lows of a Wakefield, Warrington and Cats (where I'm not sure we even turned up) and people not be vexed or questioning.

It's an entertainment and results business we're in, not a popularity contest.

Brett is a nice guy, I'm not calling for his head but as a paying fan I can comment on his coaching and our teams performance, good bad or indifferent.

O don't think people would mind Hodgson if we had shown progress under him, but I don't think we are any better than under Radford.

Makes the same mistakes and won't drop or rest certain players.

His comment about Hookem not trained in the halfs, you would think with our halfbsck situation he would have done a couple of sessions there eve if the play was to play him hooker.

Fully expect Johnstone to play at 7 against Leeds too.

It isnt just a few games either.

If we don't win either of the next two games that's the play offs gone and that's not good enough with the cap we spend.

Win our next 2 and we be sitting pretty .Getting in the play offs was most people's idea of a good year We are 5th IMO we will get in the 6.Again my opinion that's about where we should be. Hodgson has his flaws but I believe he's putting things into place . We are in a hole ATM but believe we will come out of it. I always try to see a light at the end of the tunnel and after sulking after a loss always back the Lads to bounce back

At least Dobbins showing how it should be done

I hope so, but just can't see where the trys are coming from, since Connor got injured we have scored 8 points.

Unless we can bring a new player in.

Massive pressure if we lose the next two games but the play offs won't be gone given how tight it is from fifth to eleventh. It was an interesting point that Sky brought up on Friday about remaining games against the top four.

Clearly the issue atm is scoring tries so we urgently need some news re: immediate recruitment and it sounds like we might get some this week.

Great win for Cas today.

Mathematically no, but if we done win either of the next two, like last season confidence with be gone and could see us losing just about every game.

Our return fixtures so far have been against Saints, Wigan, Catalans, Warrington and Wakefield. It's a shame injuries have done for us this year as we're still 5th with a decent run in.

With the top four pulling away and the mediocrity of the rest of the league I imagine to make sixth you may need to get to 26 points (13/27 wins) so we probably need to win at least five of the remaining eleven games. We can probably write off the games against Wigan, Huddersfield and Saints.

Next two are very important as Dave says but a big game is Toulouse away next month.

To me it just shows the mediocrity of the comp Mrs B, a dull Huddersfield side running rings round the entertainers, and grandads scoring hatricks, we’re all doomed I’ll tell ye.

Unless we bring someone in, I don't think there is any chance of winning 5.

I've just watched our next two opponents get beat by 28 points or so and I still think they will beat us.

Think Leeds is a must win game, confidence will be gone going into magic if we lose.

I don't find Huddersfield dull. Watson is doing a very good job this year, solid across the park with some X factor in Leutele, Pryce etc. They were without Fages and Hill as well, big players for them.

Think you are talking the mick, but Hudds are a very good side, said it after they beat us in the cup, very well coached, fit and have a really good mix of experienced players and young ones.

Score some very good trys, wouldn't supeise me to see them play Saints in the GF.

Perhaps it’s my crestfallen demeanour at present, inspiration has deserted me

I was at that game Dave, it was also very dull.

It was for us, other way around, we wouldn't say that, if you want alotvof our wins in 2016 and 17, they were a bit dull, but no one cared as we won them.

What, teams can win with key personnel missing?

You've spent years telling us it can't be done

I remember a challenge cup semi final against Wigan at Doncaster, it was an epic of endeavour and skill, it portrayed our game as it should be played, wonderful entertainment which sticks in the memory bank, dull never say I.

But this season one game I will remember is the Saints v Wigan cup semi it was magnificent, and I’m struggling to think of another game this season which I’ll recall in future.

You’re right about Huddersfield they just play a really high % game, take very few risks with the ball and have incredible discipline.

I wouldn’t call Huddersfield dull to be fair, they may not be as free flowing like St’s but they are a decent side.
Watson has implemented structure and plays which they stick to and are now executing well, the stay in the grind relying on the systems/structures playing the percentages. Then take the opportunities they are given and and creating there own.

Thought Huddersfield were good value for their win today and embarrassed our dear neighbours in the process.

Agreed, at times they play safe, like the cup final which cost the the game, but when they spread it and offload they play some nice rugby and score some good trys.

Their 1, 6, 7 and 9 are excellent.

Regardless, the last four fixtures I’ve attended against this team has been, dull, dull, dull, and we didn’t lose them all, it’s so boring, process process process, kill me now, and give me my cash back. All opinions of course, you pays your money as they say.

Worth keeping an eye on Craig Lingsrd, maybe not as Head coach, but as an assistant, doing an unbelievable job with Batley since he took over.
