And yet almost weekly you come onto the forum on match day saying we are going to get beat when we are not playing awesome rugby, fortunately some fans have more faith in the team and the team stood firm in the face of such negativity

Do you not understand why the coach and indeed the owner were coming in for such criticism. Sack a coach getting us to 6th and a final after the Agar/Hetherington years without the benfits of a top drawer squad/halves and not the maturity of the youth system and then absolute dross for two years? Can you not see why that drives fans to act in a certain way?

Steaming gap toothed turd still makes me giggle

Knocker bumpy is full of eh PJ? Says he never slagged Lenny personally, then says nothing when proved wrong, what a t0sser.

He'd have to be talked about in glowing terms, but for me to be as reveared as AB he would have to back it up and keep backing it up over a few seasons like Arthur did. Though given we only won the title once under Arthur and the Challenge Cup only once that may be harsh. There was far more to aim for in the 80s and with the benefit of hindsight all these years later we greatly under performed in the 80s given the talent we had.

If we loose the CC don't get to Old Trafford and start poorly next year peoples attitudes will change quickly. I think we need to remember how good this season has been regardless of what happens from now.

This is a nail on head comment.

Too many lament to the early 80's when in reality we won 3 trophies of note (League, CC and JPS), yes there were 3 Yorks Cups, but that cannot be considered a major competition.

We also choked badly on many finals (CC - 80, 83, 85), JPS (85), Premiership (81, 82, 83).

At that time we have spent massively on domestic and overseas players yet still never dominated the sport like Wigan did just a few years later.
