Just wanting to know what fellow rugby league fans think of our season to date on and off the field.

Youth development is showing some buds of encouragement already with Lloyd White breaking into the team and not looking too out of his depth and if you would have given us an average of almost 1,000 more than Quins at this stage with us bottom and them 5th I would have bitten your hand off.

I believe fans have enjoyed their trips down to us and although I would have liked a few more wins we have played consistently better than I thought we would have and with only one 50 pointer in the against column I'm happy with that. If we average out all of our results we will have lost 31-14. A lot better than I thought we'd fair.

I say success, just wonder what others think.

compared to PSG and Catalans first season (you dont have a stacey jones though) i think you are doing better than i expected, defensively you are there or there abouts, just a bit more work on the attack needed, but with two new teams into nthe league, finding players instantly was always going to be hard.
Overall well done! icon_biggrin.gif

As a few of yours and ours said Friday we were solid enough defensively second 40 just looked predictable going forward.

I am confident though, if you and I can see it, then JD will sort it out in time.

In John we trust. icon_biggrin.gif

Considering most probably expected you to get battered every week then yes I do think your a success. Of course their is a long way to go but things are looking very positive and long may you continue to develop!

In John we trust. He just needs to get the sort of creative player catalans had in jones, someone of his calibre would see you move up the table next year.

Totally agree. We need quality signings in the key positions.

I think with a season under our belt it will do us the world of good both on and off it.

Mistakes have been made off the field and on the playing side. It will be interesting to see how we learn from this.

I thought you wouldnt win any and would playing in front of about 1k people.

Therefore you have exceeded my expectations and then some.

I'd like to see (i bet you would too) a young welsh lad come through like richie myler has and set SL alight, but that may be a few years off

Yes, they're here but it is keeping them away from union.

I can understand why a youngster would like to play league before union though and let's hope if we do unearth talent we can keep them in the set up.

I think the Crusaders are going OK, but there is obviously still a lot of work to do before we can claim a success.

I met two lads from Bridgend in Valencia this weekend, when I brought up the Crusaders they were of the of the opinion that "no-one really cares about Rugby League there" and, despite being rugby (union) fans they'd only been to one game, the Wigan one, I asked if they'd be back after that win but they said only if it's against Wigan or St Helens - so clearly there's a lot of entrenched attitudes that need changing in the town.

I concur.

Hopefully they'll follow a similar route to Catalans and gradually improve year after year.

As far as parameters go in respect of Ground, Away Support, Performance and Future Stability Widnes would have been the better option.

The game with Saints on Friday was all about keeping the score down, couldn't think of any period in the match when they showed any effort in trying to win the game.

I think next season will probably be the best time to cast judgement.
