Quite right I can't see this team beating Wakey at their place in what will be their cup final. However reading this thread I admire all the talk of us actually surviving a season in the lower divisions. If, as looks likely at present, we were to go down its debatable whether we would actually survive the process financially and even if we do we would lose all our good players (Super League contracts become null and void if you go down) and our youth systems would be decimated as would the progression we are building so well for the potential of youngsters feeding into the first team. Relegation would therefore see our IMG rating go down considerably. Only Leigh (who have had hundreds of thousands thrown at team building) look likely to survive the first year after promotion after years of clubs yo yoing up and down. The only answer to the doomsday scenario is for us to stay up. Something radical has to be done to keep us up and done soon! Why? Well Sadly if it comes to a two or three way dogfight at the bottom come the last 7 or 8 games of the season I can't see this lot having the heart to get us through and keep us up. The middle games of the season are critical for us.
Another reason for our demise has been our lack of quality youngsters coming through
Likes of lane, fash, Brown, bowden, matongo, Wynne, Scott, mcnamara are all bang average
Even fash and Brown won't get close to a England call up
Which sums it all up
