Sheens has made so many bad decisions its unreal,atkins has been one of our best players this season,how about this for an idea play him in his best positon scrum half,ever considered that!
Injuries have not helped but the icing on the cake is he signed todd carney,33 way past his best,not fit and they are his good points.Moss has been out on loan all season,his only crime scoring a hat trick in a derby match,scoring again in the match v wakey after coming on with 15 mins leftand the top metre make in the match he got dropped when cas hammered us.

You’ve got to let the Moss thing go he obviously didn’t fancy him it’s Dagger we shouldn’t have let go out on loan but it’s easy in hindsight on Moss he was steady if not spectacular I expected more to be honest last season the way the Bradford fans raved about him

Hindsight is wonderful. However at the start of the season he was never going to play FB because of Quinlan. Both wing spots taken by Carney and Shaw. A year on loan to get Moss match time was right. He might be quick but FB needs a more strategic brain and wings need to be built like forwards really these days.

On topic, Mulhearn will be a massive loss in the Widnes game. Lunt has been off his game since he came back from injury a couple if months ago but I'd rather have his leadership on the field. Same with Tomkins who has played well since he joined.

I'm still undecided about T Carney. He IS or WAS a talented player but it just isn't happening at the moment and may never happen now.

Agree about Lunt who’d have thought bringing Lee off and putting Lunt on would have had the negative effect on the game as it did on Saturday but saying that I do hope he’s fit Mulhearn more so though

Hudgell giving the rallying call in HDM combined with a bollicking. Good,they need deserve it. This is a little like the Huddersfield game before MPG 2016. No time for shrinking violets so let's see if any lessons learnt? Hudgell for me has got it spot on and for all he's the Gaffer is in tune with the Stands. Next 3 games we watch and Sunday it's time to do the business

We really couldn't have hand picked better opponents than Widnes for the final game.

If we were playing Leeds, Salford or even London or Toulouse at home this weekend I would be very concerned because Rovers are having to dig really deep and the resolve isn't what it could be.

Widnes though are only going to put up token resistance. We will beat them by whatever score we need to.

You only get the parachute payment once and they need to have the best chance they can of an immediate return. They will not want to share the parachute payment with us and they will not want to have us competing with them for the only promotion spot.

However patched up and busted Rovers are they will be safe on Sunday. IMO.

Yep. We've limped through yet another qualifiers campaign which has gone to the last round. Off season Sheens will be talking about challenging. Lather. Rinse. Repeat times 12.

Read Lunt is very ill in hospital. Wish him well, another reason for the players to really bust a gut on Sunday.They can't help him get better but a win and safety would be a boost for all

Re: Widnes game.Safety/MPG/Relegation? : Thu Sep 27, 2018 8:05 pm  

Fed up of waiting now.
Let's just do this.
I think the fact we play last is a completely double edged sword, results go our way, happy days. Need a result, pressure on.
Utterly ludicrous system.
We have accrued more points than the current bottom placed team in the Super 8's over the course of the season and yet we still could go down.
Shizzle sticks.

Seen that - very worrying. Puts things in perspective. Fingers crossed for speedy recovery for him.
