Can't make the Hull game due to my niece deciding to christen her son on that day. Right now I actually feel quite relieved.

After we failed to beat Leeds in October 2011, supporters winged on here for three years straight that clubs shouldn't be able to win from fifth.

Not sure what you're suggesting the RFL do - give us two points anyway to keep it interesting?

We've lost 13 games out of 25 and a slow, painful wind-down to the season is no less than we deserve.

Play with less pressure, integrate some of the younger lads like the King bros who've looked out of their depth at this level into being comfortable in the first team, get Sandow settled in properly, finish as high up as we can, sort some things out for next season.

Every minute does matter. Each time we've had a lethargic defensive line, each time we've missed tackles, each time we've executed poor plays with the ball throughout the season every one of those things mattered and have come to a head now.

So let's make the rest of the minutes count for the reasons I first mentioned.

I'd argue that at the minute they are far from dead rubbers. Win all five games and will probably finish in the top four. Problem is winning all five games - it simply isn't going to happen.

Struggling to win 1 game at the moment let alone 5.Confidence is shat so will probably lose all 5.

I wouldn't put it past us to do just that, upset a few and end up narrowly missing out on fourth due to points difference or something.

Far more likely to be dry bummed by the pies next week though

I`d play a lot of the younger players for the remainder of this season to enable them to gain more superleague experience, i`d tell the senior players who are going to be at Warrington next year to take an extended pre season break and more importantly, i`d take a "Long Hard Look" at the appointment of Richard Agar, i dont think it is any coincidence that the alarming slump in performance/tactics/structure etc, coincide with Poachings exit and Agars appointment! He`s simply "Not Good Enough For Warrington RLFC!!!!!!!

Agreed, what on earth have these players contributed to the team this season, its sad to say, but they are simply "Filling Shirts" whilst "draining the Cap" this year!

Our season is over with five games to go..........(sky have said that during tonight's commentary as well..so it must be true.)

Sell those last games to me please..........

How do i get up for dead rubbers where we are most likely to get our bottoms wiped with sandpaper?

when was the last time we had five games left that meant completely love all.....

Are you suggesting a top 8 playoff would be more credible so teams that lose nearly half their matches can be still in with a shot of being champions?

Sell that to the wider public please.......

I remember Phil Clarke getting rubbished and being slagged off on this very board for daring to suggest much earlier in the season Dire had 'no chance' of getting to Old Trafford.

He was spot on, it seems.
