Castleford aside no team has played consistently exciting rugby for fair few season.The game was always based on the pack laying the platform and after dominating the middle the half's and backs cut loose.Factor in better training/stamina and interchanges plus some ref's keeping a skinny 10 and players getting better at delaying play the ball etc the game has become predictable and most are playing to same system.Sheens has yet to prove we can grind it out better than the teams we hope to displace but he's not going to change now.Have we got enough? I don't know? Been waiting for the 8's all season, now there here I'm very nervous, I think we all are

Yesterday we didn't care. The worst performance of a boring season to date by a country mile. Did we even reach a 30% set completion rate even? Halifax and the Drighlington Dynamo in particular bossed the game from the start.

There's got to be a reason. I reckon the players minds were already focusing on this week's break and time off. Halifax had the incentive and desire.

On their return to training next weekend, playtime will get serious. Not convinced the players have the mental strength and composure to turn it on when things don't go to plan, the size in the middle to win the collisions against bigger packs or the creativity to unlock defensive intensity. For me, it's the MPG again at best. Time will tell and happy to be proved wrong.

You never said most boring Lee £ spent? You said most boring ever. We far more boring as recently as the sandercock era.
If we stay down then this year will be a disaster, go up and the ends justifies the means.

Like I have said before if you do not like it go watch some thing else like cricket or darts you do not have to watch rovers I in my 50 0d yrs of watching rovers have seen a bloody lot worse then this lot and a bloody lot better to nobody is forcing you to watch

peter mannion is entitled to his opinion and you cannot live in the rugby past. with the rewards you get from superleague now its totally different, his point seems to be part time/ full time big salary/peanuts .you know yourself when you've got a good side who may deliver,, with dodgy defenders and no halfback we could all be disappointed ,, particularly with whats at stake

Just for clarity, this is one of my fowl jokes, not a homophobic slur. Just to ward off any faux outrage

Although the last few games have been disappointing and most of the season has been at best a bit of a foregone conclusion I just cant see the parallels with Leigh 2015.

The were blowing teams away and playing expansive exciting rugby, come the play offs when ball retention became more critical they blew up. The 2016 Leigh team were a more drilled side with lots of SL experience and that saw them through

My comment was in relation to the outcome of 2015 but thank you for the erudite analysis
