Rhinos are getting a bit cocky, lucky to beat us the other evening I thought. Pretty confident we can grind out a result at headingly. Shouldn't be afraid of any team in the 8's, can beat any one of those team on our day.

My thoughts exactly. We had a weakened side with 5 further absentees, Leeds had their strongest line up for months. We lost Green to injury a set after coming off the bench.

Both teams were pants tbh, but Leeds were really lucky to win.

Headingley is no longer a fortress and I fancy we could turn them over there in the Middle 8s. Huddersfield are similarly fragile.

The only fixture I would worry about is Salford away. The Championship sides are not to be underestimated, but as things stand, we would have to go into each game against them as favourites. Just don't think we can afford to gift Leigh a 22 point advantage this year.

We are confident, the attitude is right, intensity and defence is improving. Attack and execution needs work and kicking game is still AWOL.

I agree about leeds. We should have beat them but ran out of interchanges and they had all teh posession in the last 20 minutes. We would still have won had talanoa not made 2 massive errors. They then got lucky against you and wigan.

Having said that, I don't see any of the SL sides being in any danger. I think your games have fallen pretty well for you and you'll win your 3 at home and 1 or 2 away. salford will be the best side in there I reckon with hudds or leeds being in the £1m game with leigh although it would be brilliant if the £1m game was between those 2

I still can't remember how it actually works.

You spend weeks fretting over the games, debating how you're so bad you'll be lucky to get into the £1m game and then you realise all of the championship sides are rubbish and why the former SL sides finished in the bottom 4

I don't fret over games anymore, and that's the shame of it, Rover's are just not making me engage with club at the moment, in fact, not just at the moment, for a few seasons.

Sport is about tribalism and the high of the unexpected, for the last few years it's all very predictable.

We don't even flatter to deceive, we deceive to flatter.

the clubs are in the entertainment business unfortunately other than this year for us neither has been very entertaining over the last few years your cup run last year been a little exception which ended in shall we say tears, it takes time to build a decent team I dare say you will be starting again next year building again under a different coach who will want his own team it will take time I guess

The worst thing about this horrible season has been patronising no nowt wankers that have consistently used up my time with their idiotic pontificating.

Sad but true, think too many of us think like this now, the club don't seem bothered and this is rubbing off on the fans.
