We didn't match Salford physically. Surprising?

Salford received 1.8m TVs funding v Leigh's £0.5m. Salford posted a £5m loss. We probably haven't turned over £5m.

But this one is the killer - we've been playing championship level opposition all season. How can we condition our players mentally or physically for the step up?

Yes Salford got £1.8 million and Leigh got £0.5 million. The clubs lower down the Championship only got £150k max and you have the cheek to complain about having to play Championship teams all season and being unable to condition your players!!! Incredible.

Well I'm feeling pretty upbeat. It was'nt our best performance by a mile but we did show that we can open up SL sides quite easily and score. At least we out sung them though. North stand take a bow again you were excellent. Todays crowd was 1000 more than last week. Says bundles about both last weeks following.

Yep 44 points against SL opposition means you can score quite easily, the object of the exercise though is to score more than your opponents, unfortunately you've shipped in almost twice as many (82 points) as you have scored, the one comfort you can take from that though is that if you don't redress the balance, you will probably out sing the visiting teams in the championship next season with the support you enjoy.

It will be your cup final next week, lose that and you can pack your bags and get off early on your jollies.

Quite so, but then again win or lose people can pack their bags as there is then a week break for the Cup Final.

I stated before the game started that a Leigh loss would not be the end of the World , well it's not our game next week most certainly will define what happens for our SL ambitions,to be honest ,RangI Chase ripped us apart today we allowed him to much space,not much went right for us and in parts we looked decent,however in my opinion a couple of our players are just not SL standard but that's life,at times our defence looked very brittle,I just hope the points difference doesn't come back to haunt us.
Next week is the acid test a MUST win game,maybe tinker with the line up, I thought Higham and Barlow looked good, I wish Ryan B would attack the line more often,but this game is gone now ,we move on to Saturday,hopefully with a positive attitude, Cmon you Leythers,the support today was great.

No, it's that we've spent 2 seasons facing opposition that doesn't challenge us. How can a side improve in that environment?

Well playing in the Qualifiers will help us immensely.......

We've come a long way........ we're not far off, we just need to improve our tactics and we'll be right!

Why, did Wakefield not win many Super League games this season ?

As long as the SL clubs keep beating the champ clubs it won't be over next week if we lose. However lose to a champ side and we are gone.

I think that's spot on......

Because they had a bad side and a bad coach, 10 signings and a proven coach and they're a different team.

Too much rubbish on this about change of game plan. Nothing wrong with our game plan, just our ability to execute it. Had we done that today it would have been closer. We had 4 tries disallowed due to poor execution. The only one I can 100% say was the right call was the forward pass, the other three where at the other end. Better execution and we score those tries. Haggerty then missed a very unexpected chance. On another day we score it. That's 5 tries, taking out any conversions that's 20 points. With a possibility of another 10 from the kicks. I do however think the difference today was rangi chase. He destroyed us, don't think had we done everything right in attack we would have won.
