| Pinched this idea off the Leeds board, whats everyones highlights and low points from this last decade.
Highs:
Challenge Cup final 2005 - Say no more
Getting to our 1st Grand Final 2006 - showed great consistency that year
Sending Joey home in the playoffs
Signing genuine world class stars - Kearney, Swain, J Smith, Berro, Barnett
Seeing local homegrown kids develop - Horne, Cooke, King, Houghton, Washbrook
Thumping a genuine world class Saints side at the KC a couple of times
Steve Prescott 60m drop goal at Halifax
Seeing FC walk out at the New Wembley
Signing the likes of Dowes, Carvell and Raynor and transforming them into top SL performers
Lows:
McAlpine after the game scenes
Leaving the Boulevard
Not kicking on after the grand final 2006 - last 3 seasons have been poor
Cookiegate
42-6 Derby defeat
Bradford playoff defeat 71-0
Letting Shaun Briscoe go
Shaun McRae not winning a trophy despite having the best squad during this decade imo
Cas away last year - disgraceful performance

| Most of the above, plus moving to the KC - felt like a mini Wembley at the time.

i.e. in 12 months time

Start at the beginning, we didn't start at year zero.

| The performances of Jason Smith were my high point, what a player.
My personal low point last year wasn't the Cas game, though that was terrible. But it was Saints at the KC last year; where it just came home to me how far we'd fallen, Saints hardly had to break sweat to beat us, they didn't even have to play well and we never seemed capable of threatening them. There seemed to be an air of acievement from some FC players and fans because we didn't get thumped. A sad sorry evening.

“We will not accept a top eight finish as a barometer of supposed success at any point in the future whilst I am the owner of this club.
Thats why you got the Bullet Agar...Adam Pearson wants winners...not useless gits like you.

Mcrae came to us when we were shockingly poor as a club and built us up to be a very respected club dont you remember the highs of 2003/4 with prescott/barnett/smith etc do you really believe it was kears team who won the challenge cup ffs that was mcraes team as soon as he left and kear took over the perfofmances were shocking we went from entertaining rugby to boredom overnight.

How can 2000 be the start of a new millennium but not even the start of a new decade
And 2000 surely is the beginning of the noughties, there's 3 of em in it!
