Season over? : Sat Apr 26, 2014 3:15 pm  

I think so , unless we suddenly develop some mental strength and general toughness. Leeds deserved to win today and we have absolutely no chance of making it through the playoffs as we'll run into teams much much tougher than us who will just roll us like the thugs over the lump or indeed Leeds again.

Talk about knee jerk reaction. This is ridiculous.

This.

Don't be so ridiculous. According to most the season doesn't even start to September how can it be over before it starts.

I'm as upset and frustrated as anyone about the result today, and wanted to have a big push for the cup too, but it's not the end of the world.

Really? so you think this lot will win a grand final? there are only 2 things to play for and we've just meekly slipped out of one of them. Knee Jerk ? Is it only not Knee jerk when we get smashed out of the playoffs or will that be too harsh too? 3 garbage performances on the run 2 of which just happened to be the 2 biggest games of the year so far.

Those people are idiots. Remind yourself of this when were watching the Goons or Leeds lifting the challenge cup

And I'm sure they'll remind themselves if were lifting the super league trophy.

We've got a long way to go to match these teams ... Fortunately, there's a long time to go.

If you want to see a truly pathetic performance, rewatch our exit from the cup last year. We still made a good fist at the end of last year though.

Not season over but that was a disappointing second half performance. Wigan run riot in 2nd half, Widnes ran away with it in 2nd half too and now Leeds do the same.

We've let standards slip a bit but they have a lot of improvement in them.

I'll say it again, Masoe is over hyped and lazy and Turner's performance yet again was a bit like crapping in your hand and clapping. Sick of his weak defence.

It may be a knee-jerk reaction but that doesn't stop it being the right one. We were second in every regard today, the team is not well coached, they aren't fired up, they are not as committed and don't work hard enough. Brown meanwhile sits there like he's watching the opera. The use of Wellens is a joke and there are several players in our team stealing a living or simply not good enough.

The mentality of the side is completely wrong, they don't believe they will win. We're lacking a leader still and it showed again today. This side simply doesn't have the heart to win a close play off game let alone a Grand Final.

Its another big reality check like the Wigan game was.

We are still some way behind Leeds and Wigan at the moment.

Everyone knew about Leeds backs, so it was essential our forwards stood tall and made metres. They failed to do this and again allowed themselves to be bullied.

Remember we rested our forwards to keep them fresh, didn't work though as Leeds completely outmuscled us.
