its just a little odd seeing Mr optimistic being so down especially after all the highs off the past month. I personally don't think a cup final spot would of been ours this time round and for me this season is already a championship one with news that just maybe our luck as changed on the ground front. 4 months ago if you was told in may we will be in the play off berths with a better win / lose ratio and a chance off a new ground but to be eliminated by wigan (the form team) in the last 16 of the CC then im sure like me you would of grabbed it with both hands

Phil is human like the rest of us and suffers the highs and lows, he'll bounce back soon enough and become club Poodle again

Mutts is right - we are better off than we were expected to be, but it's the relentless toil without the big occassion to look forward to.

Let's be honest - who wouldn't hope to achieve something in the CC with JK in charge - if he can't get them up for it - no-one can.

Maybe they were too up for it and as a result even the most experienced, generally reliable players were making basic errors that you wouldn't normally expect from them. We must have made more handling errors in that game than our first 8 SL games put together



The team certainly couldn't be accused of lack of effort or desire. Considering we were being battered in the forwards we were still very much in with a chance of winning with 3/4 of the game gone. Unfortunately our errors gave the momentum back to Wigan at the crucial time. Que sera

We are the worst cup side ever I don't think we ever have made it passed round 4
