Nine wins from 13 just about half way into the league campaign is encouraging evidence that we've finally turned the corner. The next block of 5 games; Wire at home, Saints home and away, KR away and Leigh at home will tell us if we are bona-fide top four material. Three wins from those would be a decent return, but four  would be outstanding. Will be really interesting to see how we go. On balance, and without regard to previous standing at the club, the following would be my play off team, on the evidence of performances to date: Miller, Hall  Newman, Handley, Lumb, Croft, Connor, Oledski, O'Connor, Jenkins, McDonnell, Gannon, Palasia. Subs - Bentley, Holroyd, Lisone, Watkins. 
I'm hoping the likes of Smith, Ackers and ECW can catch fire and shake things up a bit over the coming months.

Makes you wonder how he gets picked virtually every week if he's such an awful player.

Coach must like his tickley tash.

Everyone gas players they don’t rate/like.  Plenty Oledski bashing on here a year or 2 ago.

Lachie isn't a bad injury and could be OK for the Warrington game!


Good news this as he's been outstanding this year and I think the second half showed how much he offers the attack

Mightnt be a bad time to give him an extra week's recovery and try a different set up. The one Brad opted for v wakey didn't work roo well and with wire recovering from a final it could be a good time to explore other options. 

We've got a block of 5 or so games coming up from which an 80% win rate would be a great return. We should be looking to play our strongest available side. In my view we're not in a position to rest players who are fit enough for the 17. Wire will be a tough game, regardless of how they go at the weekend.
