And your once again positive point is what exactly - and we played to the salary cap last year, so likely not spent any more this, just it was Sky money not Dereks
And there is no shame in coming bottom of the highest RL league in Europe- especially as we have competed in most instances

 thank you, and Cokey
Peter and other negative posters - as much as they are entitled to an opinion - are getting on my wick, what exactly were there expectations this season, especially with a busted squad for the majority of the season
Let's see what happens when it matters before we judge

Egggggssssactly
Last night was poor , especially the 1 st half , 2 nd was better and we were getting back into the match ' but that's what happens when you a chasing a game
Was I happy with the players and their commitment/passion ? , no
Was I happy with the game plan/team selection/individual tactics from the coaching staff ? , no
Do I expect to beat Catalans ? , yes
Still enjoying every minute of this season

| Quote jon_t="jon_t"That is because the pitch is not a normal rugby league surface played on by all clubs,no blame on the pitch for how we played last night we were poop and Widnes beat us fair and square ,but Widnes have the advantage of knowing how the pitch works which has always given them an unfair advantage over any team that plays them there,and the damage to players is there for all to see,one match I saw the other week there were more bandages on knees than I saw in the Mummy Film.
Surely even you can see that how the ball runs and bounces on that pitch is not normal and makes the game at times like a school playground where you boot the ball and no idea where it will end up. The pitch should be removed and replaced with grass.'"
With regards the pitch , just by watching a game , or even a video of a game you could formulate a game plan as regards your kicking option , artificial pitches don't take energy out of a bounce , in fact they seem to add energy , so why kick in the air ?
If the pitch injures players , surely the Widnes players would be walking out in long pants rather than shorts , considering they have to play on it every other week ?
The pitch isn't an issue , failing to make best use of it is , we didn't
A bad day at the office , we move on

Yes , we managed to match Cas for a quarter of both games , but the Chemics have cut through us from the start in both games
It's a funny old game

| Regarding the artificial pitch : I suspect the late tackle on Weston wouldn't have been as serious when he was hit from behind on a grass pitch.
The Widnes pitch kinda looks old and pretty thin/bare compared to a lot of artificial pitches you see nowadays, not sure if Widnes has been upgraded since it was put down or not but didn't look as good as some I've seen in football.
It was not a factor in the result as the differnce for me was Widnes played its strongest team possible, had a better game plan and a better attitude, it is strange but for me they are one of only 2 clubs that I've felt have totally dominated and outplayed us this season with the score only in slight doubt for a short period, we should have been behind after 1 minute!
Back to the drawing board and hopefully we now go with our strongest 13 week in week out as we need momentum.
