Put this on a post a few months back but I'm not bothered about our league position this year. Obviously I would like it to be higher than 11th/joint bottom but it's more about getting our house in order for me. Getting the fitness and conditioning sorted, improving the injury situation, getting the right attitude/culture/mentality into the club so we are at least competing in games every week even if we end up losing more than we win.

A change of ownership doesn't really alter my thoughts on that. It gives me optimism (more than I have had in a long time) that we have a bright future ahead of us but we still have to fix all the things I mentioned above and a whole lot more. I'm loving the positivity coming out of the club at the moment and it sounds like we have already addressed things and started to make the improvements needed but I'm also accepting that it's not necessarily going to equate to points on the table next season. I'm fine with that. Let's get the foundations sorted in 2025 and go from there.

If the mooted P&R comes in we absolutely need to finish as high up the table as possible. Finish 12th as a B grade club and we'll probably be relegated.

For me, if everything goes right for us, including injuries not being too bad and discipline and defence being sorted then we will be in the mix for 9th, with 8th being a possibility but probably unlikely

in the current scheme finish 11th as a grade B club with whats happening at clubs below us could see us relegated anyway.

True, when batley, sheffield and dewsbury get their grade a licences we're screwed

In regards to where we finish, following our dismal league finishes over the last few years, it's imperative that we finish as high as we possibly can and 8th should be a realistic target. Whilst we have and are still undergoing huge changes that are & will improve us, it will not happen overnight.

What I like so far that has come from the changes and I thought it was very much in evidence at the forum was the openness and honesty coming from RM, JC and AT which is refreshing change to the usual soundbites and false promises.

We know next year isn't going to see us challenging for LLS or GF but should see us challenging week in week out for 80mins. A lot has been made of this recruitment cycle but we can't hide behind the fact we were already behind the 8 ball when we started making changes. In an ideal world we'd have had replacements lined up etc before moved players on but i'd rather the club make the tough decisions needed and take the action rather than continue to wait. I think the next recruitment cycle will be much better and will already be much more proactive. From AT comments we are also going to be more proactive in terms of the Grading with his statement and doing what is need to attain an A grade at the first chance.

Money won't transform us in to an overnight success, success will only come from working hard, commitment, accountability and Leadership. In people like AT at the very top and JC we have two very capable people who have a wealth of experience and ability to be able to deliver the success. For all our neighbours are calling JC our 3rd choice coach for me I think it has been very much a case of one of those right time, right place situations that usually tend to work out as the more successful appointments. Listening to JC and having a chat with him in my local, for me he seems another in the mould like Peter Sharp so hopefully JC will have a similar impact of the players he has at his disposal.

I think other than the likes of Wigan, Warrington, Catalans, KR and probably St Helens (though not totally convinced with Wellens as HC) the rest will be fighting it out. Still not sure on just Leeds will go as yet, Salford may well see some struggle without Blease, Leigh I think will be there or there abouts, Cas, Wakey difficult to say and do think Huddersfield will have another poor season. So there is plenty of scope for us to be in the higher end of the mid table.
