I know I said that last week was a must win but today also seems to fall in to that category. We are in seventh place three points ahead of eighth place Doncaster and ninth Batley who both have very hard games against Halifax and Bradford so a win would would put us FIVE points ahead of them both and in this league a massive amount to overtake. A loss would also invite Rovers back into the picture. Vikings by twenty as we are back at home👍👍👍

Half time and being beaten by a better team. Featherstone ooze confidence and are much more "up for the game".

We are slower and seem to hesitate when in possession. Jack could have scored a try early on but gave a pass to tbe young lad on tbe wing!

Terrible game, really poor. Their forwards make ten yards plus on every play we are lucky to get to the advantage line. Slow as cart horses and totally lacking in any ideas. Let's hope for a better second forty, well it can't be any worse😡

Forgot to add that Fleming scored our only try in the first half, but pulled something and limped off. 

It seems "The Gods are against us"!!

Sounds like we just lack in every department atm. Hopefully when the Australians join the squad it will inject some positive energy into the squad

Listening on radio, good response - got level then allowed the flat caps to run through the middle

too far to come back now, against a team at the bottom of the league

we need our new recruits asap, but with a week off that may help

That was poor. How we managed to score 16 points is impressive with how poor I think we played. We lack aggression or intensity in any area of the field and then with ball in hand we are clueless 2 of the worst halfbacks in the league this season. Am sure Coleman will be happy with our “ effort “ tho

We still need a stand off have for years I know people say Lyons tries hard and is a good tackler but they are hardly great attributes for a standoff he's not a great passer doesn't run or take responsibility it's got to be a priority to get a running stand off

What we need is what we had - the belief in each other - seems to have disappeared when lannon started his histrionics 

restart - get the 2 Aussies in, with a week off we can still make the playoffs

( not really sure that’s worth anything mind )

onwards and upwards !

Have to agree that the team lacks a joined-up positive attitude.

We need someone who can inspire and lead by example on the field, maybe our new Aussiecan do it.

The attendance was just over 2,200 - each match there are fewer fans, we have to stop this asap!

Doing the business on the field will attract more people through the turnstiles and it’s that simple, our current financial situation is our biggest challenge to get the players in but ultimately it’s down to AC to get the best out of what he’s got. I would love a high profile coach who attracts the best players but we simply aren’t the club we once were. Betts did a good job with the budget he had and we all know how that ended, it’s now down to AC to do the job and I believe his contract extension was necessary to have some stability and help us with some continuity. I hope the board can find some investment in order to recruit well. The 2 aussies coming in could inject some enthusiasm within the squad and get more out of the lads. We know they can play as the wire game showed, something needs to happen soon and 🤞 we start seeing results for the better

It was dreadful and let’s be honest we only got near their line because of free kicks. Our forwards are slow and can’t even get to the advantage line, other teams move up, we let them come to us and then carry us backwards. Our backs must be the slowest in the league and half backs, well……

Is it any wonder Swinton got relegated and now we have them and two of their coaches. listening to people coming out saying we have to buy better for next year well I’m 73 and can’t wait/ stay around much longer to get a team that will perform so I can enjoy the sunshine at a game with my grandkids. Dreadful!!!
