I hear that wheeler was injured reading the teamsheet. It was on a heavier paper than usual and the text was in bold.

I dont mind losing games. I dont mind if we have a sh*t team but try 100 percent. However what i do mind is how this club is being run at the minute. No passion and a lack of attitude and commitment. I am no longer gonna be a mug for the likes of LMS and Wilkin. You lot can pay their wages, im done.

Seems to me everyone are pinning their hopes up on a young Savelio. No pressure then. We should be looking to the 1st teamers to dig us out of this hole at the moment not a young lad with not much SL game time and is just back playing over serious illness.

I would not say everyone.

I also think it's not a matter of pinning our hopes on him, more a case of those 1st teamers digging the hole and hoping that Savelio will level it off, or at least stop digging.

But to stop the metaphor, he has looked pretty decent were as some of the first teamers have looked pretty average at best. It's that old saying of if you are good enough you are old enough.

I just want our best possible line up out there and there are a few in the 19 who just don't inspire at the moment and have not for some weeks/months

If we lose a couple more matches then we won't be in 2nd anymore. We'll be in about 5th.

Well yeah, that's sort of how a league system works...

If we win a couple more matches then we'll be in 1st.

As it stands, we're in 2nd after a bit of bad form, it's really not time to be panicking just yet.

Really? That's almost as daft a thing to say as saying that somehow things are great because just at this moment we are in second!

I doubt it, Leeds, Castleford, Wigan and Huddersfield have a far more difficult period of games this month and early June. Castleford and Huddersfield some difficult games coming playing the top 5.

Yeah, basically what happens is when you play a game you get awarded a certain amount of points for win/lose/draw.

In Super League you gain 2 points for each win you get whilst you get 1 for a draw, unfortunately if you don't win or draw you get awarded 0 points for losing. As each team accumulate points over a number of games an order is established based upon the amount of points they have been awarded, being near the top of the table is good and being near the bottom is bad.

We play Hudds, Salford, Catalan away, Castleford and Wigan. How is that easier?
