A team that shows such a pathetic, lethargic, half arsed attitude like we did on friday, in such an important game, certainly isnt too good to go down. Talent counts for little when the attitudes rubbish.

Whilst were not too good to go down as Jim claims at least hes consistent in his opinion. Others think were going to be lifting the trophy at Old Trafford after a win and then say were going down to the Championship after a loss just a week later. Its bloody laughable.

I have stop expecting us to win any game even though I think they're capable . If we stay up it's still going to be a long road back to be contenders

Re: Relegation : Sun Jul 14, 2019 2:32 pm  

I have been consistent in my opinion saying the only team we can finish above is London and that is looking doubtful . Some on here were getting carried away with us beating Catalan who had lost their previous 3 games by a total of around 160 points to 18 and then Cas who had no halfbacks .

The only saving grace is the gap to the top is not as huge as it was, or should i say the top dogs are not at the level they were before the turn of this decade. The right coaching appointment, a couple of quality signings along with some of the young lads coming on well and 2/3 seasons we could be mixing it again.we are certainly at a cross roads though with some massive decisions coming.

I’m not saying I’m complacent at all with where we’re at, and the bridge with Saints is a fair span right now, but we’re not too far away from being competitive again at least.

We’re missing some star quality and some aggression in the pack. This side needs 1) time and a closed season together, 2) 2-3 real quality signings in key positions, 3) some better structure.

Most of the necessary changes have been made already. Clearly there will be more - several players off contract will be replaced, one or two more under contract might be shifted on too.

Saints are to rest up to 10 players against London this week.

Does this make relegation more of a threat?

Re: Relegation : Wed Jul 17, 2019 4:52 pm  

Yes but there should be heavy punishment for Saints if they do that.

Yes it does but Huddersfield and Hull KR copping injuries also won’t be a help to them. Their game vs each other this Friday is huge.

Why should it? Saints are 10 points clear at the top of the table, if they want to rotate their squad and give a load of youth players a run out I don’t see a problem with that, what rules will it break?
