Seeing as they smashed 23 points past our defence in the first half I don't think the result would have been any different if we had Alfie Langer at halfback

| I'm disappointed about the last couple of weeks but overall it's a big step forward from last year.
OK - the same number of trophies, but more consistency, more competition for places and more youngsters coming up.
Onward and upward.

I was thinking more the impetus of having Monas and his go-forward rather than the static (compared to Luke Robinson) Clarke at hooker. The best form of defence is attack and all that!

| We won the CC with a team playing superb rugby at the top of their game. Some of them may never get the chance to play at Wembley again and therefore played their part in a great game. Choosing Clarke over Myler was a blow to Myler and a lot of fans. Clarke got in because of his age and injury problems the year before. Since Wembley, playing Clarke has put the team back years. There is no go forward no line speed. Monas should play at hooker and Myler at scrum half. Ruining another great talent is not on.

| Would anyone not haven taken another cup win and a 3rd place finish before the season started? It's been a fantastic year for me and looking forward to another crack in 2011. The boys have done the club and the town proud.

| Think what we've got to consider is that we had only about 3, maybe 4 bad halves in the whole season. We finsihed 3rd and won the cup in great style. Several matches we lost were by inches. To me that's a real success and the lads and TS should get huge credit for it. One of the things that changed the team this year was Monas playing at hooker, he was a star man every game he started there. Richie Mylers injury then his dip in form/confindence pushed us to move Monas, and when Clarkey came back and played really well it seemed to have worked. However we were found out in September when we lost our shape a bit.
If I have a criticism its that we sometimes didn't have a wet weather game as the last Saints match showed up. A brilliant 10 minutes then the ball was like soap and we suffered.
To the people who booed them off at half time last Sunday, get a life, and if you can't take getting beaten don't come. We were poor but Huddersfield were very good. Not only did you forget everything thats gone well this season but you let us all down. So much so that when we failed to catch Huddersfield (and it was close) the club didn't even give us the chance to credit the team for the season or thank the players who were leaving. Think how that felt in the dressing room!

| Can I point out that Smith is not infallible and has made mistakes. However he is still the best thing to happen to the club for, well sort of forever.
I hope what I keep hearing about Myler isn't true and he can get back in the team next season thus releasing Monas back to the hooking role.
