we'll lose by 60 next week

Out of the 6 halves of rugby we have scored in only 3, and two of those was just once.

My reporter at the ground says it was as awful as it sounds

Is that all? Personally I'm starting to wonder if we'll see whether the clock can handle 3 figures.

I can't believe Hunslet have beaten Dewsbury.

Oh dear & S-Offish hasn't started yet.

Fev 4, Bradford 40. This doesn't make me feel any better. We seem to have lost to an average side last week.

Not wishing to be bringer of doom and gloom but which games should we be targeting to win, and who is going to finish below us?

I'm starting to get worried. Do we need a 5-man contingent from Hull to have any chance of being competitive in this league?

Apart from maybe Whitehaven away, and they can only get better, I see NO game away that the Dons, and most teams for that matter can be optimistic of a win.
Hunslet have shown that today against a good Dewsbury outfit.

The two worst sides in this division are the bottom two at the moment.

Forget rose tinted glasses, take the Hull lads out of the side and just what have we got ?

I still think we will see a good effort from the Dons against Leigh, but there is no way we can win.

We haven't taken things seriously enough in our recruitment and we are paying the price.

Too much swapping and changing,like most dreading next week

Are we allowed to comment now after 3 straight losses and not winning any of our preseason games.

It would seem the youth and the constant swapping and interchanging of Hull players is having an adverse effect on the side, for me we should draw a line in the sand regarding the dual reg and if we are not going to be able to keep them for the majority of matches we dont want them.

Time to invest some of that "Eagles" money in our own players who will turn out every week and do a shift for us.

I fear the worse and do find myself questioning PC's choices during the off season and his ability to turn it round.

PC obviously picked a side he thought was right for winning the Worky game.

We're probably always going to be chopping and changing unless there's some consistency with the players we get from Hull. Three changes today were forced ones with Michaels, Rankin, and Paleaasina not being available.

Lesser sides? Who add you kidding, town have recruited top quality players to add to a very solid squad. I'd be very worried if I was your lot, because the 6 fingered, web feet lesser side has given you a lesson today. 33-6 flattered you as we should have been out of site in the 1st. Cooke was very poor, your number was by far your best player.

We cannot ditch the DR policy now. We haven't got a squad that is good enough to compete without them. Sadly, I feel the help we get from Hull will be the dominant factor in determining where we finish in this league.

With regards to the Eagles money, where do we get the potential new recruits from? Almost every decent player will be signed up to a club now.

I don't know what our close season recruitment was like as hardly any of them are playing

Come on you know damn well what he meant, don't be so precious. There is a top half to this division (Bradford, Leigh, Sheffield, Fev, Halifax) and the rest of us are, by definition, lesser teams. Unless you genuinely believe you're amongst that group

Which is its own indictment.
Sad really.

I feel the younger players in our squad have been signed as squad players, almost to make numbers when we have injuries and this will not do us or them any good because they will be called on for some games and they will be rusty with the lack of game time they've had

On the 2nd February, on another thread, I wrote: "We knew it was going to be a tough season with other clubs signing some good quality players with experience, whilst we opted to not go down that road. Whether that was the right thing to do will only be proven in the fullness of time."

The fullness of time probably isn't quite here just yet, but most of us are probably starting to doubt whether our pre-season recruitment policy was the right one.

We shouldn't be relying on getting first team handouts from Hull, the DR players should be there to add some depth and class not to be the backbone.

Recruitment at this stage of the season will be almost impossible sadly and the spectre of relegation will start to loom this year after clearly punching above our weight this year.

You've got to feel for those supporters who did make the long trip up there. I can't imagine they'll be taking too many positives from the day out.

If you look at our fixture list, or even if you don't...lol , just where is our first win coming from?
We have an apalling record at Hunslet, a side that handed us our ar/se on a plate recently.
Batley? Dewsbury? Two sides there that have sorted us recently.

So Batley maybe ....

Our beloved neighbours are going to rule the roost at our own stadium ... oh hum.

I'm relying on Jemmo now to cheer me up and point out a chink of light ....

My man Wilko on his return maybe!

Very true. Loads of credit to those who made the trip.

I'm not able to get to many away games these days due to circumstances but I nearly went today.

Our strength of coming good late in games disappeared today, which probably shreds the last feelings of positivity we have now, based on the back of all the losses we've suffered of late.

Can't believe Robinson missed out again though, he'll do anything for team players like him should be playing and aswell leafy who'd run through a brick wall for club and not using dual registration players just because they've got a name or because hull would like them to play

I've got a holiday booked for June; So there's that to look forward to

And I have one in May and the pound vs euro is good.
lol

Not every right thinking RL fan comes out with that comment, so take your Facebook type offended attitude and just revel in the fact that you put us to the sword big time. There are times I simply despair at the human condition to be offended. Well done on the win and good luck for the season.
