I think it was the manner of the defeat that has ruffled a few feathers , we lacked ideas , creativity & discipline last Sunday. I'am not saying some players didnt try but several had off days . Hope we can put this behind us .

According to the RL Express Chris Green should be available again. China might also be fit. I hope Fawcett, Crawley & Sanderson also push for places.

COYD

If we can get players back, IMO we can match up anyone in this Division.

And it looks like another place dropped in the table if Rochdale beat Gateshead by 12 points or more this weekend, if I've done my sums properly.

Looks like our inability to pile on the points against Gateshead both home and away so far could be costly in terms of league position.

We could really need a cricket score in the last home match.

Is Sanderson injured, he has played well all season and should be in the starting line up if fit. We need to also slow the PTB down especially defending down slope otherwise its suicide, against slower teams we get away with it but its something we have done all season.

Just hoping for a bit of perspective here. Keighley and Swinton have been up in the top two the vast majority of the season. We at best were hoping to be in the top half and be better than last year. We have exceeded that and some could say have been the form team in the past few weeks. My opinion is that given a few injured returning over the next couple of weeks and into the play offs we may have a shout at the Final. I didn't go on Sunday but realise from the posts that we were dire, which is out of character given our current form. I honestly believe that this squad is capable of giving a really good account of itself in the playoffs. TM believes (according to the press) that this squad is the best he has had and I have no reason to doubt that. We may achieve something for us to remember and be proud of, it may go belly up, but the Coaching staff and the players have put us into a position that I would have snatched their hands off for at the start of this season. Apologies for the optimisim but we have had crappier days than last Sunday.

Your right Moonlight I suppose we might be being a bit harsh, we all would have snatched hands off to be in this position at the start of the season. I just hope Keighley was a one off and a wake up call for everyone.

COYD!

I'm back off my hols and damn good it was ...but to see that Keighley had beaten Swinton was a blow.
Perhaps they are better than I thought and it was their skill that made us look so pathetic at Cougar Park.
Either way we looked like a team going nowhere.
Very, very disappointing after all the good work and the anticipation. We truly had no attack and ran out of ideas faster than a beer festival runs out of beer when Wanderer goes!!!

Think it would be fair to put it down to a really bad off day for the team. With a few injuries that really didnt help. We clearly have some great players within the team. As shown in this months rugby league world. Well done to chris spurr and kyle kesik for being in the championship 1 team of the month (kessi's is at stand off too) And to butterfield who come 2nd in the fullbacks list. So glad to see that 2 of those have signed for next year too.
