I feel that we should be more concerned about improving our own support not relying on away supporters. Role reversal if the majority of sides were based in the South of France how many of us would be willing or able to travel there every other week ?

What can we change? I would say not a lot, if Richard can spot a couple of players not giving it what's needed at our level, can ship em out and get in one decent honest player, and bring through a reserve, that makes perfect sense to me.
And if the people running the club think we have fringe players not worth keeping then so be it.
It's got nothing to do with what other clubs do, away fans, or the RFL, as long as we are doing what we can, then so be it, its going to take time, but maybe next year or the year after that, things will fall into place.
I would call for less paranoia, scaremongering and more confidence and support in the new back room regime, and we wont get a better coach with our finances.

Well said jtbf

It's looking like the dulls forum with all the people commenting on things with out what appears not to be true.

The Toulouse game was far from a disgrace against a full time team.

Look at the results we have had :

Lost to Toulouse at home with some questionable decisions
Lost to Fev at home in last minutes
Lost to Fev in challenge cup great defence not so good in attack but to lose by so little with the possession we had not too shabby
KR away great effort against full time near super league team

Connor Robinson and Gareth Moore gone so what. Connor never seemed to cut it and Moore was only any good when he could be bothered. Luke left from what i can see for other commitments outside of Rugby which no one can fault for what he is doing. Great cause.

Lets get behind the team instead of moaning we are 5th .....still a chance to get in top 4.

Sorry for any typos or crap grammar too many shandys on the garden

Oh and dont forget the reserves...well worth the investment look at the players we have in the 1st team Brandon moore elliot morris and Woodburn hall. Hopefully more to come through including punchard who may be our new number 7.

Shame we lost rawsthorne looking good at Hull

That's right. If we're honest, we all expected to be with the also-rans in mid-table, and maybe even getting drawn into a relegation battle. The 7 match winning run has put us in a better place than we imagined, but now that we're there we want more!

We have a very tough end to the season, but if we can win at least two of the games against the current top 4, then we have to be in with a chance of making the 4 ourselves. Remember, they have to play each other as well.

It would be good if we could show some more attacking flair, but we've got to where we are with a strong defence, and that's just what might see us through.

To be fair some of us expected us to be challenging for the top 4 like we are. Far too much talent at the club for us not to be. I thought anyone predicting relegation battles for us was just downright delusional.

Correct.

If we can consistently get our best 17 fully fit and on the field at the same time, we'll challenge anybody in this league

I think folk are forgetting how we all felt after the Batley game.

A lot of teams could say that.

Strength in depth - or lack of it - if a common problem in our division.

Agreed, and that's why, much as we all dislike it, that we have to utilise DR.

How did we manage without it?

A lot better, as a matter of fact.

Too true
