Absolute rubbish.....Yes, league results were not exactly fantastic, but the change in overall mentality at the club as been the most noticable and, for me, the best thing that has happened at the club for donkey's years.

Personally, I have always been somebody who can accept defeat if the team has produced a whole-hearted performance....under Cullen & Lowes, there were definitely times I doubted the players were giving 100% effort, with Tony Smith, I'm more convinced that players are giving their all, even if, sometimes, we are found wanting, results wise.

Compare the recent defeat at Hull KR to some of the defeats at the end of last season and then you might get what I'm talking about...

It was clear that the cup was targeted as winnable after the HKR game. If we had made the playoffs, at best at what sixth? We would not have been able to make a decent challenge.

Next season however there are no excuses. That squad with that coach should be 3rd at worst.

After seeing this weekends fare, I think we could have made an impact. I really can't recall seeing the playoffs lacking the intensity or having so many errors.

Possibly....Poor efforts from Cas,Hull KR and Hudds IMO.

And Wigan, Wakefield and Saints...

don't know how anyone can agree with that garbage that Smiths head would roll. I seem to recall him saying "I have to turn more than twenty years of this clubs ethos, and it will not happen this season". It's already a different team heads are not going down under duress. I just hope that next season they CLICK! If that happens we will be a lot better team.
