Our next four fixtures are:

Bradford (H)
Salford (A)
Hull KR (H)
Castleford (A)

After these games we have some more tough fixtures against Wigan, Cats and Wire. With that in mind, we need to win all of these next four games to avoid being in genuine danger of missing out on the playoffs.

Can we do it?

Will we do it?

All winnable games, especially with Lomax (potentially) being back.

The forwards tonight were good and once some stability comes into our attack we will start to threaten a bit more. I doubt the defence of those four teams would be as imposing as Hudds' was tonight.

It's good to have got this period out the way and to get one win is a miracle!

I think the toughest of those games will be Castleford away, but yes we should be aiming for 8 points.

Of the next three I think we could pick up 2 points, four at a push if Lomax is at fullback.

That will only happen if Brown stops the bloody needless tinkering and actually chooses our best side.

I think we will see a settled team from next week

Re: 100% Required : Mon Jun 03, 2013 10:15 pm  

If we lose any of those games, given the standard of those sides and their recent results, very serious questions should be asked.

Re: 100% Required : Mon Jun 03, 2013 10:18 pm  

We will win them all. I'm pretty confident about that. But will the tinkering at halfback stop???

If we say it will do we mean it will stay as it is today, because I would not have lined up like that and I don't think the new half's told us too much other than they have not paired up before.

Why he could not leave Wilkin at 7 and just add GOB, I'll never know at least it would have given us a small amount of stability.

If he knows what it is.

He's still in pre season friendly mode.

If we've got lomax back, we should win all of them.
We saw the difference to our pack's function when Roby returned. Lomax at Fullback should add similar to our backs.
We'll need to be on our toes though, there's saints blood in the water and the opposition are always geared up to take the scalp.
They're all fairly tricky, but we should definately be looking for 8 points.

If Brown insists on goign with three pivots, then Turner should be left in the centre and one of Swift, Charnock or Yates should be picked.
