I think we are currently short of 7 players who would be in matchday 17. Most of the season we seem to be 4/5 short of our best team. That of course doesn't mask the teams shortcomings though.

Just look at the results for today! every club in development areas, outside of the North, or M62 was well beaten, No Wonder, when all we have become is feeding ckubs, developing Takent for Super League Clubs, virtually never any signing on fee!

The sport has no one at the top, Fir for Office! It's Young backwards more & more daily! and no one seems bothered or interested, any young talented player, I knock if they get an offer from Union, I say Take it!

Result better than the 50plus loss some predicted

Indeed......but still, a full time squad losing to a part time one, at home by 20 points whilst shipping 48 is hardly going to make anyone other than you warm and fuzzy is it


76 points in 80 minutes....great if basketball's your game

The sooner this season ends the happier I think everyone will be.

A 20 point defeat possibly better than expected. Boafa seems to have put himself in the shop window.

Definitely.
First half hat trick v Sheffield and 4 tries today - he's heading up North for sure.

You say that Crash because you have momentarily blanked out what is likely to come next year.

Truem but this has been the worst season I can remember (even worst than last season at the Hive). At least in that last season, going to trailfinders seemed to make sense consideding how we was at the Hive. What we are doing next season is just madness with Part time and PL.

I'm still not convinced we will even finish the season next year. I put us 50% to actually survive 2023. I see us bottom of the table,just having lost by 18 points to Barrow at home, when Big Dave says I'aint paying 200K rent for 200 fans to see us lose by 18 to Barrow, after also losing to Dewsbury and Sheffield in the prevous 2 weeks before, and boom we go insolvant.

Actually finishing 2023 would be a success right now

This is what the club needs to understand. poop team = no fans. It's not difficult to grasp though, is it !!

Crash I’m going to go out on a limb and say I’m confident we’ll finish this season. We’ll finish on Sunday when our team, tirelessly motivated by the club’s shrewd negative comms output and decision making, lose to York who prove themselves to be not quite as hapless as they appeared when we saw them at ET.
As for next season. As it stands - no question we’ll be near the bottom depends what state some of the others are in. We may scrape by although JC has form for bottom 3 finishes, albeit L1 obvs. My guess is it’s the Swinton game Mr H hates losing (or being shown up in) and fortunately for us they have been relegated. I agree who would pay out 300k to see a bad side get beat in front of a small number of disgruntled fans. Not much more than 200 on Sunday - the optics don’t look good.

Wait until you see the clubs projected attendances for Wimbledon to be something like a success. It's astonishing, even without the recent announcements.
