For instance, from 2nd to 4th, 11th then 12th?

Don`t forget Bradford,Wigan,even Leeds in that mix too.

Yes Leeds have really gone downhill

Who said anything about downhill?.

You won`t mind if we bounce back up then.lol

So long as its only 12th back to 11th.

Edited.

The silence is DEAFENING.

Most of the squads are fairly evenley matched on paper so it'll come down to which sides have the higher workrate, better coaches and best luck with injuries.

We won on our 5th attempt, however, with the possible exception of Leeds away we were very competetive in all of those 4 games. In fact we should have won on our second attempt when we were robbed against Saints when the linesman failed to put his flag up despite a player being in touch, they went on to score the winning try a couple of tackles later.

So it's 5 then

Thats what I said isn't it?

As an aside our points difference for those 4 defeats was -31, yours for 2 defeats was -50. As I said, at least we were competetive.

Thanks for the aside. So, it was five.

They were competitive though - with the possible exception of Leeds away. Always a tough fixture that, so it should probably be discounted from any further discussion.

On the sportinglife article, I kind of felt he'd made his predictions having glanced at the 'players in' section only. Playing in 2009 does not necessarily disbar a player from participating in 2010. The Bradford 'climbing to 9th' possibly arose from realizing this and belatedly noticing Sam Burgess was going to South Sydney.

So we have 2 more play off games to make up 19 points difference then



And 3 more to equal your first win.

Not really what he was saying though was it? In 4 defeats in play off games we were -31, given you are already -50 after 2 if it took you 3 more attempts you would be a lot worse, hence he's saying Hull were more competitive!
FWIW I think most teams struggle in their first few playoff games. Just that SOME (not all) Rovers fans were a bit overly optimistic on how you would get on in your first attempts.

Some experienced play off teams concede bigger points differences in a single game than Rovers did in two, so I really don't see the point of these skits.

i get what your saying, but you dont go into a competition hoping to lose do you, if your in the play offs you have to have belief that you will win or else whats the point.
im sure a lot of Hull fans also believed they would win them too at your first attempt, its what all fans do i guess.

haha, if my auntie had...................

If I was you I'd be more worried about getting a 3rd attempt before worrying about a 5th.

Not as much as their fans would be.

as long has we play to win we will be ok top 8 and upwards will do plus the c cup would be very nice
