Oh dear.

I know 9th in the table. Mediocrity indeed.

Eastmond looks a lively player, but why does everyone assume he's up to replacing Longy? What has he ever done to suggest he could?

Whenever he's been asked to fill in at full back, centre or SO, he looked like a reasonable talent with a lot of pace, but not much more.

Whenever he's had the chance to play scrum half from 1st receiver, he's looked assured and confident, he can run our plays as he should and has an astute kicking game. When longy was his age, he was just really fast.

I would suggest he's capable of being a very good SL scrum half.

Until you're in a play-off place, I wouldn't "oh dear" too much.

That side should never in a million years be 9th, which for me just shows how poorly coached it has been all season.

The fact that you can pull out a decent performance against us just highlights how farcical your current position is.

If you had of watched all the games we have played in then this year then your right, we shouldn't be 9th. The only game all season where we have looked out of sorts was against Leeds at Leeds, every other game we could have won had and had we of been a little bit better then in the areas that we have improved now then those results would have been different, but those results are irrelivent now and stand as they are.

There's still a long way to go yet and plenty more points up for grabs, if and it's a big if we can continue over the next few months to play like we have been doing over the last 3 weeks or so then I'm confident that we will finish in a good position to get ready for another possible semi final finish in the playoffs. Anything then is possible, we're not as bad as some of you think we are and the next few months will prove it.

They're not irrelevant, they're why you're 9th.

Agree with that, but you may pay for the bad start come play-off time.

You forgot Wakey and Shudds. Wigoon's home form has been diabolical bar the performance versus Bradford. 2 from 6 at home is pathetic.

When did we lose at home to Salford?
