With 13 games left, we are 3 wins outside the playoffs. That means to catch Wigan and Saints we have to win 3 more than them over 13 games. It’s not going to happen. Salford and Leigh are 4 wins ahead of us.

This season is yet another of serious underachievement and disappointment.

Pretty much agree. It'd take something similar to last season's finish which was pretty miraculous to even manage the once. Do it twice and you'd have to think we're the real deal despite all the current evidence. Do I see it happening? Heart says yes...

Super League clubs just do not have the squad strength in depth to cover for serious injuries to key players beyond a point. We are past that point and you cannot just judge results based on what you think we should be doing when we have Tetevano, Lisone, Holroyd, Newman, Fusitu’a etc all injured

no. but you can be organised, have a structure, have a game plan if simplistic.
we look like a pub team thrown together last minute

Doesn’t matter what structure or game plan you have in mind if we have no decent halves and players keep dropping the ball / passing forward / jumping the line bc they aren’t good enough at this level.

I just think some on here need to get real and understand that we probably have as much salary sat in the stands as Wakey have on the pitch.

Taxi for smith. No “give him cap space off season” we need a change proven failure 1 win in 7, 1 win in 6 in league.

Simply not good enough. Also now JJB on the board suspect the trigger will/ needs to be pulled.

This kind of logic totally does my head in.

A) smith signed some of those players that aren’t good enough
B) if professionals keep making the same basic errors, it’s likely the coaching input is causing this. Otherwise, when teams do well is that just players doing good things and the coach isn’t responsible. By your logic, what’s the point in a coach at all, if they are just passive beings who don’t influence stuff.

A club that consistently over achieves every year is Salford. Ian Blease is their CEO. We need to bring him in to lead the rugby department to remove GH from the decision making. If Paul Rowley follows even better.

A big (or small, I really don't know) part of the problem maybe issues with a number of players feathers being ruffled? Been told they're not in the plans for next year and now finding themselves front and centre due to injuries? We're also having, or choosing, to play Walters and Tindall who now have zero skin in the game for this season. Shades of Wire last season?
