Your thoughts...?


I half expected us being embarrassed, cup hangover, call it what you will. Makes the trip to France next week a MUST win game...


NEs

Not a good result but what can you do? Pick up where we left off last week.

Cup hangover, nothing to see here.

I didn't go the game obviously but I am not too worried about it. Love us to make the final but if we have to do it the hard way, c'est la vie.

even though you lost i expect you to finish second and get to the grand final and i expect we could potentially meet there as well as in the first match of the play offs.

dont be too down about losing in Gateshead we did exactly the same thing a couple of weeks ago.

your still a class act.

That Mcormack is a right bad coach ! ha ha



In all seriousness I would say you lot have suffered from the ' Cup hangover syndrome' and nothing more. Gateshead are a decent side with a cracking work ethic so its no disgrace being beat up there.

Makes for a very interesting finish to the season and I would say the game at Barrow will be a 2nd place decider (if we buck our ideas up)

Fair points lads. Not too worried about this result in all honesty. Not that worried for the rest of the season tbh. What will be will be. Pressure's off so we can feel more relaxed. Still, don't want the team to sit back even if the fans are.

Cup hangover or get Cullen out ?



Me thinks cup hangover

Called it.

The team couldn't get going today. Our marker defence was awful and Henderson killed us up the middle. Definite feeling of final hangover. Felt sorry for Thackeray, Dodd and Grayshon as they tried hard. Pickersgill didn't get much support up front. Not really surprised after last week. Ah well...

Aye. Good call Rich.

With the added importance of the Trains Cup now , the Cup hangover suggestion is probably fairly valid.

Thunder have had some good wins , but I would have thought the professionalism that Cullen brings should have seen you through this one against a team towards the bottom of the league.

Don't forget that injection of Antipodeans in their squad. They're a different side now, and they beat Halifax too.

Very true , could make their battle with Leigh quite interesting.

Quite unfair too some might say.

I was apprehensive about this game and was expecting a loss following on from last weeks win.

It seems that it is difficult to get a result the week after you play in a big game such as last weekends final. Barrow found this, as did Fax following their game against Cas..


If any of us were asked though which game would we prefer to have won.. last weekend's final or today's game I think all of us would unequivocally vote for last weekend's final!!

Too true.

Don't panic Mr Mainwaring!

Pah thanks a lot Widnes....

You didn't beg hard enough.

that was fax cup hangover, same as only other loss to sheffield.

We gave you 6 points.

Didn't aid our points difference much though!

Arrange these six words into a well known phrase....

DOWN TO EARTH BANG WITH A

A EARTH DOWN TO BANG WITH

OR

A BANG WITH EARTH DOWN TO

Down to bang with a earth, surely?

wink lol down earth lol lol

Don't worry about us. I fear it may be Batley that may go down. They have a tough run in, whereas we have plenty of home games left.

Would not surprise me one bit if we give Barrow a bit of a scare next week.
The mid table is getting more and more congested by the minute, which proves how much of a bloody good league this is.

Saying that, Tolouse and Gatehead do have by far an unfair advantage. The RFL need to address this quick !
