the lower teams making a good fist of it at the start of this season with relegation looming.
nothing is won in april.
we know this.... start well most seasons, last season we were told 'you will taper off at the end of the season' but we didnt.
if we finish well this time happy days! the line now is 'one season wonders''"
Listen to yourself. You are talking like a team well seasoned in winning the grand final. All this 'we should be beating teams like hull'.....'cream rises to the top' etc it's all coming across a tad arrogant.
Last season, huddersfield weren't so much told they would taper off, but their playoff pedigree was questioned. By the end of the season they had finished top and failed to make the grand final, so was that not in some way justified?
And if you concede huddersfield failed in the playoffs last season from 1st, what makes you think they will be able to go one better from a lower, potentially harder route?
And if the above is not true, do you not concede that maybe last season huddersfield weren't as good as you claimed and thus they didn't fail in the playoffs they simply played to their potential, which makes this seasons remarks of 'cream rising to the top' a tad foolish?
I don't think you can be 'one season wonders' unless you win a major trophy to begin with, in that one season. If you are going to class the LLS as a major trophy (it isn't, this was done to death last season, but whatever), then why would huddersfield apparently disreguard it this season? Why not go all out to finish top and win it again, back to back, because it is a major prize.......right?
No? If not, then huddersfield had no one season wonder in the first place. They didn't contest either major final (which ironically, the team you 'should' be beating did) and they didn't win a major trophy.
