Well I think weve got more points then Wakefield will get all season. I know this club all too well to get carried away but I feel it just showed how knee jerk some people got.

I do think that Wakefield will be targeting us for a means of points. So I expect them to give it to us next week, we'll need to turn up again.

As I say we know the drill with our club, just be like us to get turned over next week. Still dont think in terms of the season Wakefield have 5 wins in them.

Smith has also started to create competition for places. We have Hoy, Saviello, Brown and Lovodua waiting to get back into the team. Certainley keeping players on the toes.

The two wins have certainly eased the pressure on us for the Wakey fixture now which will be a big help in that regards.
Had we been heading in to that game still on 4pts we’d likely be in for a torrid night.

Think the confidence is coming back in to the team with the wins and the communication and awareness is certainly much improved.

The pressure is on Wakey and Gale and not sure he’s enough to save them even if they get them win. Just can’t see them winning enough games even if we were to implode.

We were never going to get relegated, utter nonsense.

Yeah for me we was never in a relegation dogfight, last two games our defence has been fantastic, Thaler made sure seciond half we hardly got a penalty or six again and we still got over the line, I'm hoping we come out the blocks next week and try and get a decent margin of victory.

Re: Relegation Dogfight : Fri May 05, 2023 10:25 am  

I never really thought we were in a relegation battle, but that's more because of my belief that Wakefield are the worst team in SL history rather than me having faith that we would turn it around. But we have seen in recent times teams who everyone thinks are too good to go down get dragged right in to a scrap and only just get themselves out of trouble towards the back end of the year.

It's amazing how quickly things turn around though. All of a sudden Smith seems to have found a way to motivate them and we've just put in two of the most committed performances we've had in a long time. Beat Wakefield next week and I think their fate will be sealed and we can actually start to look at plotting a path to the playoffs rather than a path to survival.

can we not change this thread to old trafford dogfight??

Could do with a decent margin victory against Wakey to help with our points difference, mind you just keep winning is still good
