To exert more influence at the club ott perhaps you ought to put in a takeover bid - at least you could wear your fashion item of choice (rose tinted spectacles!). Its going to be a tense season - and thats only on here! Come on cougars!!

Phil Larder was an excellent coach. But lets be honest that sort of ethos belongs firmly in the dressing room, only for the players ears and backroom staff.

I attend all home games and u20s and many away games. My expectation is, the team will try their hardest to win every game and not have some hidden agenda. If that is so, can the club warn us of the games that matter, then my expectations will be lowered. Could they also let me know the games that mattered last season, so I can have a recap of our performance.

The club is trying to increase support. To post that comment on an open forum is beyond belief.

The club is now and not what has happened before. Stop living in the past and look to the future. We need these new supporters, who will expect good performances.

All games are winnable don't insult the supporters by picking and choosing.

RFL has confirmed today that a championship 1 team will be promoted at the end of this season meaning that 5 will be relagated from the championship.
9th spot is the target then this year.
Going to be really tight I think

Cor blimey, I seem to have touched a few raw nerves! I thought this was somewhere where supporters could exchange views!

This perfectly illustrates your apparent lack of understanding of (semi) professional sport. As you state that ethos belongs in the dressing room, yet it appears you want Paul March to advertise to all fans (and by accident the opposing teams) the game plan, tactics etc etc.

Of course there will be games targeted, by that i don't mean forget the other games. They will still approach the game with a win or bonus point attitude. Certain games last season tactics became obvious to get points, remember the last game of the season at Barrow? barrow kicked on the 3rd/4th tackle relentlessly to keep the ball out of their half. We played up your jumper, the end being a result that was mutually beneficial to both teams.

You are living in dream land with Phil Larder lamenting finishing 2nd fiddle to Salford in 1995.

I've seen on another site today saying that it will be 5 down 1 up, so I guess Toulouse havent been given the go ahead. www.loverugbyleague.com/news_141 ... op-24.html

5 down , 1 up from C1 as per RL Express.

Its a long time since we had a sensible debate on here, finally a little bit of passion is creeping back
I have no idea - you seem to think I am in the know or have some connection with the club? (I'm not and I don't)

Would we have been better going down and winning the league below rather than trying to finish 6th bottom?

The team COULD win this league this season, if the players and the coach really want to. Ignore any financial inducements etc. the only thing that matters when playing a team sport is teamwork, utilising peoples strengths, compensating for their weaknesses and making a determined effort to win.
On occasions other teams MAY be better on the day but if a good teamwork/hard work ethic is applied then it is not impossible to beat the opposition time and time again.
It's also a personal thing. Are you a team player? Will you go the extra bit for your team mates? Are you confident they will do the same for you?
Get that right and.....................

I was thinking the exact same thing.
