Great effort last night and very easily could have won. Pack went well and abdull proved again he can be very good. Sa is a centre as IMO needs to be running out wide and at times last night looked wiped out. Saying that his hits are awsome Michaels gives his all but eveytime a ball goes up looks vulnerable and seems not to be as quick as we believed. My last point is Yeaman. How the heck does he get picked last night he again was awfull. He offers nothing. Felt sorry for Michaels as he offers no protection on high kicks .needs to go IMO All in all good match last night and we defo going in right direction. COYH.

Ellis didn't hobble off and was absolutely immense last night. Put everything he had into the game and more and had nothing left in the end. One of the best forward performances you'll see in a SL game. But you crack on and criticise his contract arrangements.

I haven't taken exception, merely adding some balance. Go on any forum after any game and there will be fans who are happy and others who are not. Accepting a win as being the ultimate result achievable is to fail to strive to improve. Perhaps you live your life in mere contentment but not everyone does. Do you think the club don't assess every performance and look for improvements?

The use of the word "maybe" was paraphrasing you. My favourite word is cackamallababba but it didn't seem appropriate to use it

james clarke is my guess. Tries to be clever but really isn't

Came out of the KC with some optimism last night. If we can cut out the daft mistakes I think we could be turning the corner. No one can argue with the effort from the lads, Gareth Ellis was fantastic. I bet he aches a tad this morning!
Oh and the ref was rubbish, he made things harder for us but we lost the game on our own, Saints where there for the taking. (Their 1st try was vintage Saints though and a treat to watch)

Ellis was huge again. After the disallowed try he made four tackles in a row, leading by example and trying to keep our heads in it. He did look battered when he went off at the end though. I assume he spends hours after a game packed in ice, Sean Ryan style.

Glad I went last night. Two months ago we never looked like scoring and it was crushing our souls. Against Saints we never looked out of it and the crowd were back behind the team. I think we've turned a corner. We're still lost but we seem to be headed the right way.

Appreciate you vindicating my point....(dots added for effect).

Don't worry clarky, always happy to help those in need

Have to say I left the KC last night feeling a lot more positive than I did against salford. Don't think we'll make the 8 but don't think we're in danger of relegation of we don;t based on our improved performances of late. The middle 8's will be pretty exciting anyway

Wouldn't quite write off top 8 just yet. 2 games against Wakefield, and quite possible Leeds will sack off the game before the cup tie. We're in good shape injurywise at the moment. Let's see what goes on after the Tragic weekend.

I'm not counting it out but I think we need to beat wakey twice and find another 3, possibly 4 wins which could be home against cas and wigan (not an easy task given our recent home record against them) and possibly 2 wins from our other remaining away fixtures.

Could do with Wakey and Wigan winning this weekend.

Next two games are massive , need to win them both IMO.

Agree. Lose both and we could be 5 points behind widnes

Utterly poor service from acting half again. I lost count of the skyward passes from there. We lost around 1 second on the ball each time a player had to stretch or sometimes jump to get the pass.

It's about time this was sorted.

Saints played on a weak referee and we didn't know how to. Some of his decisions frustrated the players too.

Poor decision making from houghton on a number of occassions too

My god, do you really take this that seriously? I suggest you might want to take up another hobby. Lol.

My god, no I don't, it's one long p1ss take on here. You really aren't very good at understanding people are you?

Next two games will go a long way towards deciding it. 2 wins and we'll make the 8, a win and a loss leaves us with work to do, but still possible, two losses and we can start preparing for the Middle 8.

That's how I see it. widnes play wakey, salford and us in the next 3 games and could win them all. if we lose the next 2 and then to widnes it could leave us 5 points behind them with little chance of catching them. salford will improve when chase and dobson return but not sure who they have left to play.

Looking at the table it looks like 2 from 5 for 7th and 8th places for me. Really tough for us to make the 8 I think due to our poor home form which has seen us drop 10 valuable points

Salford....

6 out of 8 away.

Bottom line it will go to the wire. Which is good for the game if not for us lol

7 from 9 as they also have to fit in a game against rovers

Looks like last year's league table didn't lie. Bottom four as you were.

We ain't played wakey yet lol

With a change of coach and the end of the regular season on the horizon I was a little concerned that they would up their game and that the two games against them would be a bit tricky. After this afternoon I can't see where they are going to win another game all season.
