| Just get this season done. Move onto the next. Today was hopefully a big sign to the club that we need further recruitment. I know it wasn't our first 17 but even if we bring in a few cheaper squad players we simply can't go into next year with the exact same team. This year has proved that the depth after the first 17 is lacking in quality.

i am over it.My criticism was not replacing him which has been obvious to see and not signing a young lad for next season.

They're all half decent squad players, but playing 3 or 4 together was never going to work, they've simply run out of steam, like Masi did weeks ago.
Injuries this season have crippled us, todays result was just waiting to happen.
Connor, Kelly and Griffin - a big miss today.
Sneyd was never going to make a difference in Wakefield's million pound game.
Green, Bowden, Mini, Manu missing + Paea playing with broken hand, and Westerman and Hadley injured during the game.
We were on a hiding to nothing, and it showed.

| I agree injuries have played apart of your season and I am sure you would be up with the top 4 if not in it if you had different circumstances.. But, are people seriously giving excuses for todays performance? Injuries or not no super league team should be getting 60+ past them by another super league side

Totally agree.
Disgusting lack of commitment shown today.

So you've agreed with someone blaming injuries.
Agreed that there are drama queens out in force today but then come out with that pearler above and also criticised Radford and the team yourself which 1 is it?
Why don't you just form your own opinion?
Or do you continually agree with the favourable populous?

| I don't necessarily think this season has shown the youngsters aren't good enough to be in the squad. But it has shown they aren't yet at the level where we can call on them to lead us. Just one or two of them in a strong squad is fine. They compliment the team and bring something to the table. But when you have 5 or 6 of them and you are asking them to play important roles. Well they just aren't at that level. The jury is out on whether they will be in the future.
I still have hopes for good things from Masi, but he looks worn out. Litten is arguably the pick of the bunch and its a shame we havent seen too much of him. Abdull is also a talent who I hope we continue to work with. Scott seems to have something about him. Turgut, Fash, Downs and Lane are probably destined to never be anything more than average, but we need squad players and they will do a job. Logan, as much as I respect him for his perseverance through his injuries, just doesn't offer anything for me.

| Those who feel injuries should not make a difference then IMO you have no idea about the game. Bringing young kids in to cover the odd injury now and then in a team with only a couple of injuries can work ,put these young kids in week on week with many big names missing its never going to work . I agree the youngsters are not Sl level yet if we had A team matches they would have developed a lot better. Make no mistake yesterday was humiliating and the full side let everyone down including themselves but the reaction is way overs the top ,fans fighting, spitting swearing at players, Radford /Pearson out, slating individuals, its poor i was going to put the Samaritans number on fans forum most sound suicidal ..get over it its done back your club

We keep calling them youngsters.Scott apart who is only 18 most of them are 22 and should be making a mark by now.
Even Litten i dont think will make it.
When i see Danny Walker at Widnes play and he is only 18 you can see just how far ahead of Litten he is.
If Widnes go down he is a player we should be in for straight away.

I agree with you.
People get so protective over the younger players and make excuses for them, Masi aside I don't think any of the others are good enough.
Like you say Walker 18.
Johnstone 22
Thompson and Richardson at Sts 23 and 21 respectively.
If you're good enough you're old enough is how I see it.

4 players from 3 teams, hardy conclusive evidence.
Every player in SuperLeague was 18 once up a time, I wonder how many were nailed on regulars in their teens?
If you're not quite good enough (yet), then age is irrelevant.

I could have mentioned the young ginger lad at Warrington, the youngsters at Wigan, the winger and hooker at Hudds, Regan Grace but couldn't really be bothered.
These players are all of a similar age to ours but clearly better and 1st team regulars.
Not really sure what your point is?

| Litten is only 20, so still plenty of time, Walker is an exceptional talent, also because Widnes are rubbish he has got more gsmetimr, which has benefited him, I'm sure litten will improve in his spell at Donny, although I'd give him a few games in the 8s. Learning at hudds is 22.
Most forwards take time to develop, there are the odd examples who don't, but look at Bowden, only started to look like a good SL player the last couple of years.
Look at Wigan last year, great youngsters, but couldn't cope with playing week in week out, also got beat 62-0 by wakey in 2016.
Still plenty of time for the likes of Harris, Litten, Scott and Masi and you can get away with playing one or two each week but any team with this many injuries will struggle, the table IMO is pretty much dictated on injuries these days.

| England Knights squad named today. Wigan have 5 players then just us & Leeds have 4, not so shabby really. In addition to Connor and Taylor maintaining their senior squad status, obvs. Bowden drops out due to season ending injury.
