Personally speaking I have not enjoyed a game at the HJ since Andrew Johns made a winning debut against Leeds.
That was a cracking evening with a superb atmosphere.
Sadly everything served up since has been truly average or awful.

We're the first ones to starve, we're the first ones to die
The first ones in line for that pie-in-the-sky
And we're always the last when the cream is shared out

I agree with the bolded bit. But there were many more 'WOW' games during the 2005 season, and a few during 2006 (Leeds at home, Leeds play off game, anyone?). Unfortunately, the 'WOW' was because we'd just scraped it, as opposed to 'WOW, we've just won the Challenge Cup'. |

I did, but not so much last season. This cloud of doom seems to have started towards the back-end of Cullens reign and has not lifted since. |

Just goes to prove that Darwin was right after all. After 35 years of winning nothing we've simply adapted to our environment. |

Absolutely, if it was one or the other, Cull was not far off getting the team to play at the highest level. he might not have won everything but it would have been a great ride, not like the crap we see week in week out out of late. |

Carry on the way we are and the only final we'll be boring our way to is the NL1 final

Not if we consistently finish bottom, we may find ourselves dropped down a league. Plus I was only joking

Still impossible, think about it......

We did play some very good rugby under PC. Many games v Saints (although we lost them all ) and stellar performances against Leeds, Bulls (notably play-offs a couple of years ago ) come-back against Hull at home when they hardly got into our half of the pitch in the second half, Widnes away when we sent them down, several games against the Pies and many more. We simply lacked the ability to nail teams when it counted.

We were never going to win a GF under Cull I admit, but at least there was some exciting stuff. High points were the Leeds play-off win, the 2005 season and just about any game vs Saints (only now can I call that a high point). The match winning try vs Hull in 2005 was one of the highlights of my rugby (watching) career. Simply awesome.
