Yes, I think you are, still think we last some quality for a top 6. You never know, but I don't see it.

I've booked my tickets for Wembley and Old Trafford

Think the new combination is a huge step in the right direction of getting us back to where we want to be. Nigel Wood is right in what he said to Thirkill. The untapped potential is massive.

Dread to think of the mood of the fanbase without these changes.

Also think Myler will be a real asset. We’ve needed someone to be bullish about the club for years, and to fight our corner. Having his father in law as an owner will make it even more personal.

Thought it was good that the mood of the fans was that eighth is a realistic place to finish next year. Must be reassuring for the new owners to have a passionate, yet realistic, fanbase.

I would be surprised if they didn't finish higher than that with the new coach and new players

Think Thirkill was spot on, even if we do everything right that we can control the competition to finish 8th or above is massive, it means we have to get our house in order and hope someone takes their eye off the ball or has bad luck with injuries etc. Even Huddersfield who we are now expected to finish above by many now still have some quality players, Salford every year punch well above their weight and Leigh, Leeds and Catalan potentially have trophy winning sides on their day. Wigan, Rovers and St’s will be way above the rest.
