Newcastle- No room for complacency.

[Bearman]

I suspect that most of us think that the job is done, BUT it is still mathematically possible to come a cropper.

I know that Cresta will be pushing that point home but will the players be a tad complacent?.

I hope not.

[Bring back GB]

Agreed. Folk presuming we're safe but we certainly aren't.

Cresta has said we need to be professional on Saturday so I'm sure everyone will be focused.

We don't want to have to beat a very good York team to stay up.

Swinton, Keighley and Whitehaven are all desperate and anything can happen!!!!

[morty]

Spot on guys

[johndf16]

Agree 100%

[RawlinsonRaider]

Yes totally agree, need to get the win at Newcastle and save ourselves, rather than depend on other teams results going our way. No pressure at all on Newcastle and will be free to play their rugby and have some good players in that squad who have under achieved.

Strongest squad available, Play like yer life’s on the line, secure the win & get the flip flops on v York

The squad probably picks itself due to only one recognised prop and other injuries

Greg Burkes broke his arm now.. does that leave us with 0 props for the last 2 games?

[gilbert08]

 sometimes playing a team already relegated looks easy on paper but far from it!! 
 

think we will edge it though I’ll got for a hard thought 28-18 victory

We have Evans and Billington 

[Left Winger]

JFW please !

[Raider83]

Can only name a 19 man squad. Heads down, get the win, enjoy the last game of the season it's that simple......isn't it????

[Bring back GB]

Get Shawy in the second row and Toal back on wing

14-0 to Newcastle at half time so not simple at all

[Jarc]

Injuries or not this is embarrassing really

[Ulverstonian]

Total embarrassment so far... hopefully must be better second  half surely.  To be nilled is beyond words

[Ulverstonian]

Worst nightmare. Turned it off and going for a pint. !!! Lol

[Bearman]

Fight back starts now?

[Raider83]

This is terrible. Just when you think we should be winning a game, we mess it up. Gonna struggle next week so we're gonna have to hope Haven do us a favourite tomorrow

[Raider83]

Never turned up today, should not leave ourselves in this position but we have to hope Whitehaven beat Swinton

[2Cents]

Absolutely shocking, totally unexpected, against the bottom of the league with a minus 500 point difference and their highest score this season.

7 tries against us! Who saw that coming?!

On the positive side, Keighley will have to beat Halifax and London to overtake us. A tough ask

If Whitehaven beat Swinton tomorrow, we're safe. 

But even IF SWINTON WIN, they will still need to beat Halifax and Whitehaven will still need to beat Toulouse in the last weekend to overtake us.

Don't see both scenario's happening.

Regardless of all that, our fate still lies in our own hands as beating York at home will be enough.

Pathetic display today, absolutely shameful.

As sarcasm doesn't work in the written word I'll take the plunge, yes there was plenty and it's probably easier to say who didn't end up there on both sides.
