We are probably the most loyal supporters considering the rubbish we have had to put up with for several seasons. We go to a ground where the total expenditure on upkeep is probably below £1000. I would remind those of you that there is a cost of living crisis with any excess money limited or nonexistent. I find it amazing that you believe however loyal a supporter they are, the thought of paying out about £300 for a season ticket or £25 per match will come first. What will the prices be once the redevelopment is completed.
We are in the entertainment business which I believe some at the top have forgotten, we are run on the cheap, the players we bring on are usually when the best have already signed for other clubs and have no other options. The others are like Gaskell who have deteriorated but we offer them multi year contracts. I presume you can tell me why it will be different this time because I doubt the savings in contract payments will be used in full for squad strengthening.
The club take our money but what they provide is not worth it as an experience and has not been for quite sometime but still we pay. We don’t ask much but to lose what are our Crown Jewels of our current squad does not bode well if we do survive.

Absolutely massive. He was the best 13 in SL for me last year, especially with his ball playing ability. He had a strong physical presence too in the middle.

As good as Westerman was individually, it hardly transferred to the team overall, in fact it wasn't until the end of the season when he featured less that we started looking like something of a team.

I never took Toulouse lightly, they have a bigger budget and better backing than we have, however I thought we would be better than how the season has unfolded so far, meaning we finish higher than a few of the English clubs. That's looking unlikely now and I cant see us getting enough wins to keep us up.

I say it every season, every game for us is a must win game as you just never know when we hit that brick wall , we simply dont have the luxury of buying ours out of trouble , the lad have to roll their collective sleeves up and work their way out of this sink hole we find ourselves slipping into . Still plenty of games in the bank but we desperately need to start looking like a competitive squad , we’re just all at 6s n 7s in our attacking structures whilst fairing a bit better in defence but nothing to write home about . Most of our tries have come from off the cuff moves instead of structured , we are easily defended against as everything is telegraphed and with the passing being clunky and no one willing or able to run onto the ball hard enough to drag defenders in and get our backs a clear run in .

From which games are we going to pick up our required wins?

That run in looks, in the most part, a nightmare. Obviously Toulouse at magic is a must. As i’ve put elsewhere i had Warrington at home as a target given we’ve done them 3 times since Willie took over but their new signings have just made that harder. Salford is possible, they blow hot & cold and are down on forwards. Hull KR x2 are the ones that might help, they’ve dropped significantly since Smith announced he was leaving. But none look bankers any more.
