The sort of 'close, but no cigar' performance we were seeing at the beginning of the season. Very frustrating to be where we are in the table. No shame in France today.

Was expecting a battering after 1st half but they stuck in and nearly pulled it off..Horne was total gash tonight and Tuson had his best game for us...ran we'll and put the tackles in...Thompson has gone backwards.

wonder if their will be clamour for miller back next week?

Thought you were unlucky today. If a couple of 50/50 decisions had gone your way you would have had the 2 points.

Tend to agree, but regardless the best we can hope for is catching Widnes or yourselves for 8th. Today we showed enthusiasm, spirit and resilience, that's what the fans appreciate. Ellis was towering today, and several ran their blood to water. The evidence of the impact of not having a 7 was as stark as ever. No sign of it being addressed however, so we are where we are.

just posted on our board that Widnes will win 3 more games (including beating us) and that the Derby will decide either of our fate.

By fate, I assume you mean who goes to Huddersfield for a public humiliation. Your turn this year.

That may well be the case. Widnes started the season really well but were punching above their weight and will drop like a stone now.

I wouldn't right off either of our chances of catching Catalans though. They are great at home but very rarely bring their form on the road. They still have to play Wigan, Warrington and Cas at home and the inly away game I fancy them to win is Bradford, although they will probably beat one of Salford or Rovers.

I would be disappointed if we can't win 6 out of 10. Which would put us on 26 points. Only once since the introduction of the top 8 has 26 not been enough. Which was when we finished 8th on 27 in 2011. If we can win 6 I'm sure it will be enough again.

Cant see us winning 6 more games to be honest which means we'll probably finish
out of the play offs for the first time since 2009

I think we will beat Rovers, Wakey, Cas and Bradford.

A good chance of Warrington, Saints, Salford and Leeds.

I will be disappointed if we don't win 6.

So, we had a 32 year old at halfback and a 21 year old in Doncaster in that heat.

Outstanding idea. Horne offered absolutely knackall again. 1 good game per year and no value for money.
I cannot see what he'd bring to the club as a coach, considering he does that dumb inside ball and 3 times got a player murdered with his passing. His last tackle options?

Rankin, Tuson, Shaul and Feka were superb out there.

We could have taken that game tonight, but for Bent-ham missing a dropped ball.

Why was the magners logos taped up on the shirts?

French broadcasting laws, I imagine?

Thanks.

FTFY
Radford still showing he has no idea, Houghton not in, , 2nd rower playing as dummy half..Lineham in over an in form Lancaster and a ridiculous game plan, that's what cost us

Houghtons Mrs has just given birth
Who would you have had spelling Azza
Lancaster is injured.

You are Clueless

1) Houghton is on paternity leave.
2) See point 1
3) Lineham is the dream team winger and our best back. Lancaster is a 17 year old kid with 3 games under his belt. Simply scoring tries doesn't equate to great form, he isn't as good as Lineham under a kick and doesn't offer nearly as much when carrying the ball. Oh, and I almost forgot, LANCASTER IS INJURED.
4) What was so ridiculous about it? How would you have gone about it?

You are either a wind up merchant or an idiot.

Or maybe even both!!

Eh up - Ranty McRantypants is back.

You seem to have missed out on a number of facts that explain all the things that have got you so hot under the collar. Probably best to do a little reading before you make yourself look daft. Although it may be too late for that already.

Better second half , Ellis gave it a go , I think Rankin would work well with a Dureau imo.

haha..resorting to insults on the back of not being able to back up with anything concrete to deny what I've said is true...yet again..Go on both of you, explain exactly what I said that isn't spot on the money?
You both sound like clueless idiots

I couldn't give a flying fig if Houghton's missus has just given birth, is he a professional or isn't he?
He's hardly going to be away from the child for more than 3 days tops, I'm sure his missus could cope just like all other mothers in the real world do when their partners are 'working'...

In an important game like this, one were the difference Houghton would have brought could have won us the game (as has been ssaid numerous times) he should have said yeah I'll play..it's this crud soft d attitude that is why we are in the quagmire that we are..He'll have half of September & all of October, November, December to be at home..
Micturate poor excuses

ive worked in maternity hospital,its a special time the birth of a baby for both parents.im an fc fanatic,but rugby must come second to that event.
