Paul Rowley believes that making Super League is an ‘impossible dream’ for Championship clubs.
His thoughts were following his side’s 46-18 defeat at Salford, their second defeat on the bounce in the Qualifiers.
With Super League opponents next up in the shape of Wakefield, Rowley admitted that their quest for a place in Super League is proving difficult.
“We blew three clear cut chances and were on the end of some harsh and peculiar decisions.
“But we came up against a Salford side who played to a high Super League standard. They were much too good for us and our kicking game was really poor.
“It’s man in the mirror and keep our nerve time now.
“It wasn’t do or die today but we have to keep our swagger and our heads held high and go again.
“The Super League club’s finances have a bit to do with it but it’s proving an impossible dream at the moment for championship clubs.”
