The club has no divine right to win anything...... But supporters have a right to be entertained.

With the investment in the club we should be demanding more. We are the heaviest spenders in the league but play a dull and predictable form of rugby.

The money hasn't just been spent of first teamers either, how many young players have we brought from other clubs but they rarely make the first team...... We are still miles behind Wigan and Saints in terms of bringing the academy through.

The CC win has papered over some cracks and Price just about deserves another season but he needs to deliver next season with a better brand of rugby and better mentality throughout the team.

Leeds and Wigan had a McDermott/Wane out thread throughout their OT-winning years, with fans fed up of boring rugby and losing against 'weaker' opposition, slacking off through the regular season but turning it on when it matters.

That's the glimmer of hope that I'm holding on to, I don't think lightning will strike twice this season though. Besides the club needs attendance money and the drivel we have witnessed for the majority of this season won't be putting bums on seats in 2020.

Like a (dwindling) few on here, Ive been doing this supporter thing since the mid 1960s. Consequently, I was weaned on mediocrity. Nevertheless, I did enjoy that feeling of being the underdog and the highlights of occasionally beating our more illustrious neighbours. I remember being encouraged by the older, wiser supporters to appreciate the rugby from both teams rather than just being a one eyed fanatic. Granted it was tough as a young kid to applaud the opposition, but it the long run it has been beneficial. Unfortunately, this lesson doesn't appear to have been passed down to many of our current fans judging by the behaviour of many in my favoured South Stand.
Regarding this season, Id like to believe that the end may justify the means. Could it be that Mr Price is encouraging our limited style of rugby simply to get the GF monkey off our backs - or more worryingly, could it be his NRL default mode? If, amazingly we do get to the GF, and are successful then all is forgiven for a few months at least. However, next year it will have to be more entertaining otherwise I'll start watching clips of our glorious past on Youtube instead.

Does anyone think we are nearer to a GF Win this season that at any point since 2011?

How does a strategy of playing poorly for 3 months and losing a 2nd chance in the play offs help get a monkey of our back?

You're best asking Steve Price for the answer to that one.

We are nearer than 2018

Not in my view. We had two games to win last year, now we have four.

Yes l think we can pull it off Sts will bottle it Wigan may be the biggest problem to overcome.

We're going for a treble.

How would we some up the strategy of our opponent if we get past Cas. Will Wigan go all out to beat Salford or will they let them past, will Salford let Wigan past or will our game Thursday develop this conundrum. Its about the best interest I can find this week.

....but defeat to Salford gives the Wigan a headache.
They share with Latics and would have to shoehorn in another unscheduled fixture during the football season that they wouldn't have to worry about by winning.

So if we win this play off lark..does that mean we are classed as champions... Just asking

Big difference in those cases that those clubs had recently won GFs and the coaches had the pedigree. I dont think Price is on control of our form one bit.
