| The messages from the club are very positive and During the off season that's what you'd expect anyway.
Early on we had an interview from Waney and spoke about the need to clear our yardage. That was one of our main problems last year. With pressure on us and a good kick we were often coming off our own line and ending nowhere near the 30. That is where our game seem to fall apart and then matters got only worse. Having a dh when 2 yards off your own line is nonsense but that's what Lam wanted it seems.
We now have a bigger and more mobile front row, that will make a difference. Surely Bateman and Farrell will have a better season that could make a massive difference. If Field is at fb with Cust at 6 then that is pace in the middle which has the potential to be devastating. Last season we had no structure, creativity or go forward. None of those problems from last year should occur this time around.
I think we'll have a good season and certainly end up top four if not higher. We will have as good a chance of the C Cup as anyone as so much depends on the draw.

| I asked over the phone when i bought mine, we will be getting physical cards this season through the post.
The club also updated in an article a couple of days ago saying the cards will be posted out imminently, so any day now i would imagine.

Well it worked, pre season at Wire 7 hours trip, last night at Hull bit easier as only 6 1/2 hours, would have been less if we didn't turn onto the closed A63 route initially, cost us half an hour. Booked for Friday as well, means a mad dash after work on Friday as it's a 100 mile trip, but the rugby being played is worth it. Nice to have some enthusiasm and excitement for the game again. Last night was the best atmosphere at a game in many years for me.

Yep, it's 75 miles from home to Wigan, an hour from work to home on a friday, and the journey across the Peak District to Wigan is the worst I can think of, but we shall be there somehow! If I go straight from work in Nottingham it's 100 miles, but an easier journey. Hull is all Motorway so dead easy ( so long as the roads are open).
For the first time in years it seems like the effort is worth it for what's on display.
