Quote FaxMan1="FaxMan1"It makes me think that a dip in form and perhaps a trophyless season this year could be a blessing in disguise. We win the GF; The super league vultures come in for those players not yet tied up and even possibly buy our players that are (no-doubt by making their interest public, disrupting the players, and signing them for a fraction of their value as often seems to be the case) and we end up having a poor couple of seasons (look at Leigh this year
we're not too big to go struggle). And we get complacent because we've already ticked a SL box. Alternatively we become more determined to win next year and keep the majority of our current team.'"
Remember you dont have to win the GF to tick the SL box, just getting there does it. But you have to win the NRC to tick the same box, losing NRC finalists do not get a tick.
All the best and what a 3 weeks in store
