Every team would suffer to some extent with their best two props missing, but few teams in the top half of the table see such a drop off from their two best props to their next best. Byrne, Singleton and Mago are nowhere near good enough and we've known it for a couple of years. We've seen the evidence from the games both have been missing already this year. Hill has been our 3rd best prop and he wasn't even playing.

Whitbread, Fifita and Atoni are stronger than the middles we had, so they were always going to cause us massive problems.
Missing Cooper as well. We have a chunk of players not playing but Wakefield!!!

No team wins every match we all knew it would be a tough game , we lost a player early and we have a much bigger job to do in 2 weeks .

Lets the overreactions begin ……….
I went tonight and spent near on 60 quid. Lost to possibly the worst super league team we’ve seen. Easy for you to say in your armchair at home isn’t it ?
I’ve put a hell of a lot more money into the club than you have this year I can guarantee you that.

Looking at the scores Smith missed 1 kick out of 5 tries that's 80% kicking.
He missed two so 60%

And the one he missed would have won the game no?
Yes but there is not a 100% kicker in SL so you can't rely in kicking goals.

Leaking 26 points was the issue.

He missed at least two. One which was very kick able. Not good enough.

Bbc has updated it to 3. Said 4 before.

So why are you telling people after an awful loss to “ bring on the overreaction”. I seem to remember you doing it earlier on the season when u created a thread trying to reel people in

It's just not good enough to lose to the bottom team

That is just not good enough. Anyone who thinks a team with playoff and cup ambitions shouldn’t beat Wakefield easily has a screw loose.

They are bottom for a reason and God knows how you contrive to lose a game with 10 seconds to go against the bottom team. Before today their record was played 18, lost 15, points difference -305. There really is no excuse for losing against a team with that record.
