If we keep Austin and Widdop fit
If Murdoch-Masilla loses 2st of fat and puts on 1st of muscle and plays loose
If we sign two proper decent props where Hill and Cooper aren’t sure of their places
If Currie can get his confidence back
If someone can make a contribution at hooker from the bench

Then we have a chance of that. But it’s all “if”s.

If we don’t address the weaknesses I won’t be expecting to win the GF. And we probably won’t.

For me it’s: address our weaknesses and try and challenge for the trophies playing decent exciting rugby league football.

Steve Price is on a 2-year contract anyway. So at this moment, he is out next year.

No, he isn't. He extended until the end of 2021, didn't he?

Well contracts in sport don’t mean diddly these days except for how much compensation you get when sacked.

It's worth a think about which other teams in the league have had a "successful season".
We supporters expect a lot of our teams.
So Salford have had a good 'un but they have the big problem of losing lots of players at the end of the year ... and I'm sure their supporters will not be happy with that.
St Helens obviously but many of their supporters were baying for blood after the Cup Final.
Anyone else?
Are rugby league supporters ever happy with their own team?

Wire had an awful end to the season but many other clubs would have loved to finish 4th and win the Challenge Cup. e.g. Wigan, Leeds, Hull, Cas.
Cheer up boys. I think we know exactly what we'll be working on during pre-season.

My list would certainly contain attacking moves and discipline and not forgetting attacking moves and discipline with additional focus on attacking moves and discipline="Smiffy27

And when they have sorted that out lets have an aggressive defensive line moving up against the attack and not just standing still just waiting for them

Having watched a few of the games leading up to the GF, it's clear to me that most teams have adopted the 5 drives and a kick philosophy. It's boring but it does get results. The mistake we appear to have made is employing the tactic as soon as Ratchford was out injured and then never having the confidence to move away from it. I do wonder, if we reverted back to the 5m rule and hence deep attacking lines, whether the game would again become more entertaining.

I have a dream whereby we have a full box of attacking moves and when we get near the line you wonder ... which one are they going to use now or will it be a variation ... or something new.
Got to go the van has just pulled up outside my house to take me away.

A bit much to ask that...perhaps we should just work on 2 of them.
