| A disappointing but perhaps not unexpected result last night that should not detract from an otherwise brilliant season for the Leopards in which we have consolidated our position in the top 4 or 5 clubs in Super League.
Worst fears were realised last night but there will come a time soon when we will beat The Pies and I for one will be looking forward to that day. For the moment Wigan are simply too good for us, and just about everybody else in the competition, but we must not let the season be defined by what happened last night.
We proved pundits' pre-season predictions wrong by finishing in the play-offs again for the second season in succession and we went further by winning the first play-off game against Salford. Home attendances have grown and the Den is becoming a truly daunting place for opposing teams to visit. This all represents both progress and success.
Perhaps the most important news is the re-signing of Adrian Lam on an extended contract and the provisional IMG grading which should ensure our Super League status and the club's financial future.
The club is growing and becoming a Super League powerhouse. As disappointing as last night's result was it was only a bump in the road in what is otherwise the club's steady rise to elite status.
We now say goodbye to players, genuine fans' favourites, whose names will be revered by supporters for years to come. Thank you to all of them for their dedication to the club and the sheer enjoyment that their skills brought to the field of play.
Now we look forward to the announcement of their replacements. The story goes on and I for one cannot wait for next season. Bring it on!

| Quality post Jack.
Nothing much to add to that from me. This is year 3 and we are ahead of the game in my book.
-Survival (and we were in dire straights squad wise) and then promotion year 1
-Challenge Cup and playoffs year 2
-5th, playoffs, reached semi so finished 4th year 3. Also provisional IMG grading success. Also amazing cross home and away.
It’s a good time to be a Leyther and

| Not the way I would have wanted to finish the season, but one game doesn’t define what a year we have had. The amount of injuries we had for nearly half a season to so many pivotal players made it look like we would be lucky to stay away from a bottom two finish. To finish where we have is a tremendous effort by all the squad and coaching staff, to that I am truly thankful and wish nothing but the best for the players who are leaving. The boys going back to the nrl deserve there chance. I am sad to see the squad split up, they had a great bond and I hope we can have that again next season. I am sure we will. Once again thank you for a great season.
