wow, didn't realise how hard our run in was.

I don't expect us to beat any of the teams above us in the league, as a reult I don't think we will make it. (only had 3 wins for the remainder of the season)

Hull KR have it tough, and I almost agree with your predictions, although I think they have it in them to grab a win against a stronger team. On my predictions, I had them beating Saints.

Out of the 3 teams, i actually predicted Saints would win the most games, therefore i have Saints in 7th, KR in 8th Bulls in 9th (or below).

Quote: hindle xiii "Once the long hard look in the mirror is dealt with, I think priority number one is to drop/rest anyone carrying a knock, irrespective of whether we're short in that position, blood young kids, and anyone that needs an operation have it done ASAP. Nevermind leaving it until season end, do the necessary splicing and dicing and have everyone fit and raring to go for tackle practice come November. At the moment I'd probably only exempt our two stand out players in Kear and Scruton; Kear because he'll be playing for Wales (Lulia too for Cook Islands but he's leaving) and Scruton as he has a real chance for playing for England IMO. Platt and Evans I don't think will make the Ireland and Wales squads respectively.'"


I think that would be a sensible idea.

Therefore, not an improvement at all.'"


True, but you need to remember what kind of squad FC inherited and how little time he had to secure some new faces. Elliott leaving mid-season didn't help either. I know those all sound like excuses, but they are legitimate reasons imo.
At the start of the season pretty much every poster on these forums highlighted how small our pack looked after losing Kopczak, Burgess and Hargreaves and replacing them with Sidlow and Evans. We all said that we would struggle against teams with decent packs, and that when the injuries came about we would be stretched to our limits.
This is exactly what happened.

In all honesty, with a bigger squad I think we would have made the eight.
Our signings for next season (so far) seem to be filling the holes that are most obvious - Carvell and Ferguson are great additions.
I'm still a bit weary about our backs - particularly the centres - but let's just see who else FC is bringing in before forming an opinion on 2014.

Usual bollox. last season we did not finish the season. And that was having (so the argument goes) overspent money on the team; which money the new broom has been compelled to underspend. We would have folded, and all results been expunged. It was only due to OK Bulls taking over that we completed our fixtures.

This season, we will finish the season without going tits. To me, that is a whole lot better than where we were this time last year, under Mr. Gilfoyle.

Fair points FA; the big picture is far more than just what happens on the field, though I guess Eddie won't be on his own in looking chiefly at the results.

One thing, we've demonstrated that we can still finish 9th on haqlf the money.

Now we need to do it again. 9th would actually do next season when you think what's at stake.
