Right I'll tell you what I've heard and this is by no means happening at this moment in time. This has come from somebody within the game, James Lowes is under increasing pressure, as we could of guessed and a possible replacement for him is Brian Smith

We have also signed Mitch Clarke from Doncaster

We'll I'm glad to hear that he's under pressure. I'd hate to think that we could just coast through this year and hope that next year we're a bit better.

Obviously Smith would be a good coach. He'd certainly get that defense in shape anyway. There are very few proven coaches about at the moment. If I could pick any I'd go for Darryl Powell.

The only consolation is that we came back from a hammering at Wakey to record a great victory against Salford. I've not fully lost hope yet as they must have the capability there somewhere.
It matters next week, big time, and we all knew it would but even should we make the million pound game there is absolutely nothing to show we could win it. The second yellow did for us today and it probably should have been red. I didn't expect us to beat Rovers but I was disappointed, again, with how we fell away after looking fairly decent in first 30 minutes.

The Salford game was an anomaly. We don't know what exactly is going on behind the scenes over there, but it seems obvious that there's more than a few ruffled feathers thanks to the mad Doctor. So Salford turned up with clearly the wrong mindset and we actually turned up to play and got some luck on the day.

I think actually, the Salford result has actually done us more harm than good as it seems to have made the players think they can just turn up and it's a win when we clearly don't have the skill or tactical ability to do that

Good turn out from you guys today, shame about the result as SL would be better with a strong Bulls team in it.

As bad as that was (and it was bad), you put Clare, Gaskell and Mullaney in that team and get rid of Walker and Mendieka and we might still have a chance.

I'm expecting two of those to be back next week. Question marks still over Gaskell. It's just typical of our terrible luck that our most influential player would pick up such an awkward injury. I think the spine of Leigh's side by comparison has been available throughout the whole season.

Walker was your best player today. Certainly the most threatening in attack IMO.

Shame he let in about 4 tries with attempted tackles. Ifyiu can call them that.

If smith comes back bowling boy would be one happy chappy

Unless Gaskell just wasn't risked today then you have to say playing him next week would be a massive gamble given how sensitive he might be to a big hit. Last thing we need in that game is to lose an interchange or two early on.
