| Quote Mild mannered Janitor="Mild mannered Janitor"I am not aware of anyone who is content with abject performances. But is avoiding going to support the team the answer?
We lost today to a team who are challenging for the LLS. we have lost the last three games by a collective margin of NINE points. No fan likes their team to lose, but the sooner some fans realise we are not a top 4 team the sooner we will realise that we have to accept defeats.
I think some would find it easier to take if we got gubbed by 20+ points, but the fact would could (and should have won at least the 2 of the last 3 games ) co points the disappointment of losing.
Back to today's game. There are a couple of things I'd like to know.
When McDonnell scooped the ball out dead in goal with his foot clearly over the line, why was it a drop out?
When we apparently "train the house down" during the week, do we not practice drop goals? Add to this either the lack of instruction of the lack of proactiveness for Tickle to be in position to attempt a DG when the score was tied, why did we rely on a 20 year old to do this?
Why did we manage to kick the ball dead from the kick off TWICE?
Finally, after having a try disallowed (and rightly so from the poor DG attempt) when Brough collects the ball from the deflected DG attempt, was he really in an on side position to score?
Oh, for the record, I am not happy we lost again, but I was happy when we won 9 from 11. If these four losses had been mingled in to that winning run, there wouldn't be the usually suspect bleating about it.
We are not a top team, we will get beat, live with it.'"
Exactly...pity some of the numptys on here dont see it this way.

What do you propose that any fan could do about it?

No we arent content but calling for the coaches head in the middle of a slump isnt the way to go.IF we are out of the cup and out of the 8 then yes we do look at Gentles postion,all we can do is get behind the team and hope the victorys come.

| Quote cyprusairliebird="cyprusairliebird"Seb, for what it's worth I am one of the few on here that generally agrees with your posts. I post very rarely as the majority on here appear deluded and content with the abject performances we seem to have to endure more often than not. I am one of those that goes home and away and feel I am relatively well judged to give an opinion. I read people on here praising the brand of rugby we are supposedly trying to play, the fact that Gentle is building a team, his signings need time. I would point to the fact that we have one of the worst scoring records in SL, Gentle's signings have generally underperformed and we have at a guess alot bigger salary cap than several teams who are above us in the league. I appreciate that finances don't guarantee success but with the infrastructure we have we should be doing better than we are. If you were to do a match up on the Hull v Wakey teams on monday night plus home advantage I would say the majority of RL fans would say we would win by about 10 points ( which is what the bookies set the hcap at). We didn't and I'm afraid the buck lies with Gentle and players. If they can't be motivated then either he goes or some of them do.'"
You and Seb seem kindred spirits ,why not meet in a pub and have a good moan about the state of the club, and how lifes a bitch?

Thought the rule had changed on that, besides, was you in the Udders end to see that?

| I'm sure the club have made massive improvements behind the scenes and we will, hopefully, reap the rewards in years to come, however the on field offering is poor and take out the wire and leeds wins and the defeat against wigan and we have been no better than average, and often poor, in the rest of the games this season. 5 home defeats already is unacceptable and things need turning around quickly
