Hopefully we can get on a winning run like we have the last couple of seasons, I think this team can do that, and we will hit form, just depends how far behind we are when that happens, because i think it will

Might be something to do with him calling Radford a bully, and saying he has his favourites

At full strength Abdul is unlikely to get in the 17 with are squad as it is. We have just got 3 back rowers available again, which make Abdul at 13 unlikely. If Kelly, Sneyd and Conner are about, then 2 of these need to be unavailable for Adbul to get a game.
I like Abdul and think he has a great future in the game. He needs to be playing. After a full season out on loan last year, you can see his physical shape has changed for the better. If he needs first team rugby to maintain fitness, then a loan move is inevitable.

| Quote ="Jake the Peg"The issue is that if you don't perform to a half decent standard throughout the season you're not in with a chance of being in the mix at the business end of the season. We've lost 5 already which leaves us potentially 6 points behind 3 clubs . It doesn't look to me like the bottom teams will take too many points off the top teams this season so we're in a position where we can't lose that many more for the rest of the year or we won't be in the top 4. I already think it's looking unlikely we will be at the split unless we go on a long unbeaten run.
The good news is we have a high number of home games in the 2nd half of the season so a good opportunity to claw our way back into the mix'"
Believe me, at 57 mins in to the good friday game in 2016, I'd have been happy just to avoid the Middle 8. 23 minutes later, the comeback to end all comebacks (in a derby) and we then go on to win 12 out of the next 13.
The point I was making earlier was that many are bemoaning our performances, which have been hovering around average with noticeable periods of 15-20 min in games where we seem to click. But, we have won several of these games when under performing, we are still floating around the mix. not fully performing but still winning games, not really that bad is it. It does rile me when people say we are poor. We are not poor, just not performing to the best ability for decent periods of time in games. Perhaps our biggest disappointment was losing at Salford.
Realistically only Sts and Cas have consistently performed so far, but who would have thought Wakey would beat St's. Cas will falter when they play some mid week games which they will have to due to 2 postponements.
We have played, away from home, Leeds, Sts's, Cas (which we lost at last season as well). As you say, we have a run of home games coming up and with a trip to Wire being a tricky game.
A win tonight puts us in a nice position, but I would agree a loss would be damaging, but hardly season defining.

to my mind, it would be the nature of the loss (which hopefully wont happen), if we go down fighting to a better side on the day, fair enough. If we fall off tackles and have one dimensional attack, it's a problem.
We have players back, we should win, fingers, legs, toes, everything crossed!

Agreed
That said I think our attack as been fairly good this season, when it clicks. We are scoring more tries from long distance than I can recall for a number of years. Its the period of time of "clicking" which needs to increase. And when the attack is not clicking, our defense needs to be tip top.
Leeds struggled last week, but both Leeds and Wigan were contributors to a poor game. Leeds still have the strike power and creativeness to open us up.
We are just about at full strength. A loss at home would be disappointing.

I’d have him in my 17 every week, on the bench. He’s a genuine running and passing threat, gets us up field with his quicker ball to out wide. Can’t believe he’s not in the squad again this week.

| I trust Radders judgement on players two CC wins and two top four finishes have proved he has the right to judge a player how he see's not many have left us and gone and done better in the Country since Radders came in.

dont feel confident we will beat catalan away as they seem to be picking up at home and after Gausch' vent at the rfl, i expect they will get some 'favourable' calls after the wigan 2nd half where they were penalised at will

Stick to discussing rugby, try to comprehend what people are saying, come back with a cogent argument against what someone has said and then the discussion can be grown up, currently you're acting like a pleb (that's an insult BTW) with your constant jibes and insults.

by the way, it's coherent, not cognent. If you want to pretend to know clever words, at least get them right.

On Facebook earlier this week the Super League page posted some stats on number of trys:game ratio. We are third in the league with an average of 3.8 trys per game. Saints (4.6) and Wigan (5.1) are the two teams sitting above us.
I realise the way the fixtures fall and with a few postponement some teams won't have played Catalans, Widnes, Rovers yet so that will probably bump their average up.
The problem is that with our stuttering defence, 3/4 trys isn't enough to beat Wigan, Cas, Saints, Leeds.
