Get what you say but its wrong imho. For me this is where teams go horribly wrong and I think Chester has already stated this, we are in a relegation fight and it starts here. We simply can't pick and choose our games, there arn't enough left and all the opposition is better than us at the moment.

We need two wins imo and both will have to be freakish performances. As there is no one worse than us at the moment we can't pick and choose, Warrington are as goo a bet as anyone else, its pot luck.

Even if we don't win and we almost certainly won't at least is we give it a shot we can gain confidence, another huge loss at Warrington would only further erode confidence.

There is no easy way out of this we have to start playing our way out of this and it starts next Friday., we ABSOLUTELY can't wait until the last game of the season, we have used all our lives up on that one.

I would however drop two players. Kirmond can't make it through a game and you only have to look at England and his curious running style to see they are simply passengers. I hate this 'throw in the kids mentality' but frankly in the case of these two you might as well. It's not a slight on them but both are clearly crocked beyond all reason and as such they can't perform miracles.

I do get this point, but at the moment, we can only drop players if we have players fit who are ready to come in.

There is only Fifita who might be back this week anyway. Given that we aren’t going to Warrington and winning whether he plays or not i wouldn't risk him. Give him the extra week off to make sure he is 100% for the Huddersfield game at home the week after. We are now at the point where we can say that is must win. Randall & Kirmond are out this week so give Gwaze his debut and have Reynolds as interchange hooker. I think Annakin may be recallable now as well. Get him in and give England the week off. Whether it's his bad back or not he isn’t at the races right now.

To Chester is still trying to coach as if we have a fully fit/available team . What’s the point of having Tanginoa/King coming off the bench when we start with no go forward and end up 20 points down . We haven’t the players to be having an impact ... just play the fittest , if that means youngsters so be it and keep it simple . Stop props trying to run and pass to another prop at a snails pace ... just take the ball up and try and get a quick ptb. Feel sorry for Kirmond , you can see he really wants to put a good stint in but physically can’t .

I'm not convinced we are in a relegation battle just yet, because four teams would have to overtake us in the remaining games, and I just don't think the maths work out. Some of these teams will have to play each other too. BUT, we need to win the right games if relegation is the concern.

Of the remaining eleven games, we have five against those immediately above us (Wigan x2, Hull, Catalan and Cas). I'd like to think we'd be focusing on those. Unfortunately, there are probably only three that matter: Huddersfield, Hull KR and London. We have to play Warrington twice and Saints, so we can forget about those points.

I don't know if it's a plus or not, but London's last three games are against fellow struggles: Rovers, Leeds and us. They'll be talking points off each other, but one of them will be climbing.

I fear that Blake Austin will tear us a new one on Friday. After their loss at HKR I can't see Steve Price resting any this week.

I find it quite funny that people are calling for Chester to target games and forget this one, where as when Webster mentioned that doing that in an interview and didn't even say he would do it, he was absolutely crucified for it.

With only half a season gone Webster targeted the Million pound game though.
