MOST would say that our season ended on Saturday. I'm not subscribing to that view because, in my mind, there's still a lot to play for.

The Rotherham defeat was gut-wrenching and it still makes me sick to the stomach that we couldn't win the game considering the amount of chances we created. That, though, has gone now and we cannot do anything about it.

All we can do is focus on our final two games of the season because in this sport, you just do not know what is around the corner. All you can control is those games and in particular, we have to thank our supporters on Saturday for their help during this season.

Sadly, my season is already over after I tore my Achilles in the Rotherham match. I played on with the injury but, after I had a scan earlier this week, it is serious enough to keep me out now for the last two games. I'm not too pleased about it but at least I got the chance to play in the Rotherham game.

If I'd have done it in the Wakefield match I would have always been wondering what if. I am also lucky that I haven't ruptured it because that would have been, at my grand old age of 30, a career threatening injury.

I celebrated my 30th birthday this week and it must be said it was tempered by the Rotherham defeat. I've had everything at once in the last few weeks. First my daughter Megan was born on the 9th, then we had the Rotherham match and then my birthday so it certainly hasn't been dull!

We've been through the Rotherham video this week and it was very frustrating. We've carved out opportunities against them but we just lacked the cutting edge to finish them off. People will talk about Rotherham's defence but we caused them problems. We were just unfortunate that luck, once again, deserted us on the day. We saw Tim Walsh get knocked out after two minutes and, credit to him, he battled on superbly for the rest of the first half. By the middle of the half, we'd already lost Nnamdi Ezulike while a number of players were struggling on with knocks. These might sound like excuses but they are pivotal points in the game and they tell us just why Rotherham won and we lost.

In my opinion, we attempted to play more rugby than Rotherham. They came to Sixways with a limited game plan of safety first. When it comes down to it, they took full advantage of a missed tackle and a turnover in the second half and finished clinically.

We now have very uncertain times ahead of us all. The players and coaching staff all have to put their lives on hold until some decision is made over promotion and relegation for this season and next.

Our chairman Cecil Duckworth may not want to put in the same amount of finance if there is nothing to play for next season while the coaches and most players will hardly want to drop from a professional environment to a semi-professional one. And although Rotherham won the match on Saturday, with an ongoing RFU inquiry into off-the-field affairs they are still not guaranteed to go up if they win National One this season.

So we will get on with our jobs until the end of the season and be professional. I just wish English rugby's governing body could do the same.
