Cup Lost, get over it. 6 League matches to go, now no excuses - let’s win GF

Post by DurkinGR » 18 Jul 2021, 14:21

OK, first ever post, and I have just been to my 3rd Wembley Final and lost again, but, and a big BUT…. 6 games to go, we should now just go for it and get in the top six (or 4 if they changes the rules).

Still something to win - Darryl or Radders - let’s win 6/6 and give the other teams something to think about.

Game On!

I’d rather win the last 11 matches then just 6.

Have I got it wrong, why is there 11 matches remaining?…. If so, I agree, win ‘em all.

I’d be happy with 8 from 11 but think it will be 5 from 11.

It's a pity we ain't got a squad of 90. We might eventually get a full squad out.

Why ?

Saints played for 3 weeks before the final with all the first team and they still turned up and won.

We play 1 game in 4 weeks and now they won't have recovered to play week after :-({|=

No wonder we cant win Jack If this is the case

The players are employees of the club and their profession is to play rugby, it’s what they are well paid for.

One game in a few weeks (for most) followed by a tough gig, but a week between games, doesn’t give them permission for a few more weeks off, and I’m not saying they’re seeking it but cup apart, we’ve not seen much. this season.

I don’t normally criticise but season ticket holders and fans deserve some commitment to the rest of the season. We’ll see.

I wonna see our strongest team out in France on Saturday.
Any players who took knocks, watts and Jesse and arnt fit leave at home.
Not sure what the temperature is gonna be in Perpignan, I reckon it’ll be hot so another draining game.

As much as I like the enthusiasm off this thread i am afraid the season is over now . We put all eggs in one basket which nearly paid off in the final, The last time we lost in challenge cup we went on to a rubbish end off season reckon we win about five more games which finish us about eighth position .

And that alone should be incentive enough to go out and cure our final headache.

Definitely need to dust themselves down,give themselves a shake,pull together and really go at the next 11 games.that team out at Wembley plus matagi,eden is capable of winning atleast 9out of 11 which should secure the playoffs.the season is only dead if they allow it to be.

The only way we’ll know is if they really go for it. At this stage in 2019 we were being talked about on here as potential relegation candidates and we made the last four of the playoffs.

Well it's '[REMOVED] or bust' now.

If we don't make the play offs, here's one long time Season Ticket holding family who will be considering their position before next year.

No excuses, no saving players for next season, this is it.

Failure, well I suspect a few more will be like me.
I remember Peter Small

I think this season peters itself out if we are not careful. Several players running down the clock to leaving for numerous reasons, coaches all in the same boat.
Legitimate likelihood of GF, you would have to say slim. I would like to be wrong, but I think if we are not careful the wheels could be well off the wagon.

It is a pity it has come to this after a tenure that has presided over the biggest highs in 20 years I would say since 99. Everyone will say the right things, but those 1, 2, 3% efforts, when it really matters, will they be there?
