1st half was one of the most forgettable 40 minutes I've witnessed in over 40 years. Any watching Aussies would've been laughing like the Cadbury's Smash robots. Picky ref, and we were dreadful. Far too much lateral movement from our 6 and 7, and no drive from our pack.
HKR's offloading was superb, and we fell for it.

Second half much better. Some strong running from Kasiano.

2 points

We move on.

We were crap tonight. Crap last week at Wakey.

Let’s hope Dudson can give us a lift next week.

And yet we won both games. Wigan have lost their last two. They can have Dudson.

I'm enjoying being 4pts clear at the top..wonder how many teams would swap with us,..I know a certain club nearby would

All of them would be happy to swap. We have precious points in the bag, we are winning some games when we aren't the best team and I don't think we have put in an 80 minutes performance yet.

Fair play.

I just think we need to be patient. The last 4 have been iffy but Powell and the squad need time to iron out the issues. In reality he's only had this squad together for pre-season and half a season so far.

Fingers crossed we'll be ok.

I suspect its the weight of expectation, that has increased as this season has progressed, that is affecting our performances, especially as we are seeing other clubs not exactly looking like world beaters.

Suddenly, we've gone from thinking that top 4 will be a good season, to believing that it will be another missed opportunity if we don't win the whole thing.

I think the Cup has come at a good time. Bit of pressure off, hopefully the team can rediscover their mojo, which will then help with the following league performances.

10 weeks out that’s massive, the Dufty Thewlis situation sorted Russell out next week.

I was thinking more than top 4 after the Drinkwater signing. I then went to check the betting and at that time we were still 8/1 so I stuck £30 quid on, a few on here laughed said better spending my money on the gas bill. Reckon we are around 5/2 now so I have a small victory right now even if we did fall away eventually. But right now I’m winning.
