Could argue they're a more experienced side when it comes to lifting trophies and the pressure that comes with that. I'm not really expecting us to lift the big dinner plate but never say never

Radford in again then?


Well done, i actually think you can stay there now.

Top of the league and all's well with the world

, best way to start the week.

I stand to be corrected here by those with a better memory than myself, but I can only recall two, maybe three, seasons since 1960 when we've hit the top spot in the second half of the year. The years in question being 1982,1983 and possibly 1991 (when Brian Smith left for St George).

The only other times I can recall us sitting on top of the tree have all happened in the first few weeks of the season, certainly in the summer era. I know, technically, it isn't the second half of 2016 until this coming weekend, but there is no need to split hairs on this.

Can we stay there through until Game Thirty? Who knows! I certainly don't. All I know is we're in the mix, we're playing well, there's a good feeling surrounding the club and for the first time in probably ten years there is a sense of genuine excitement amongst the faithful.

Let's keep our fingers crossed for this to continue over the coming months and maybe, just maybe, 2016 could be the start of something very special in our long and (sometimes) proud history.

We all need to stop being so arrogant!

Ha ha I think.you deserve to be top, I think warrington wigan cats and yourselves will make up tho top4 in what order will depend greatly on injuries and grinding out the Close games.

Not seen many ull games but what have seen definitely looks the real deal unlike previous seasons as a club u may not have the bigger game experience but there are. Players in the side that have and they will be key during top8s and possibly the gf!!

If were not there I'd love a hull catalans final!! The game needs new faces in.the final and certainly a new name on the trophy!! Good luck I hope that u do well just not as well as us ;-p

What you say there is so true, exactly the way I follow rugby. Obviously if they aren't playing us, I will always go for whichever new team could make the greatest stride forward. Been looking at Catalans closely this year for example. I always look at the nrl and see 13 different teams in their final and then ours and see 6 so Catalans are our best opportunity for a new team in the final and should they play us or Warrington we will be guaranteed a new winner, so exciting times in 2016!

Great to see other sides in the mix for it, as well as Cas, Wakey & Salford posting plenty of wins.

Still a long way to go this year, so enjoying it while we're up there. I've got a horrible feeling that Wigan are going to finish the season really strongly and win the GF.

Yeh me to, cant stand wigan, but have a feeling their will win it this year

Not a chance!! Even with all their players back it won't change the predictability.of their play, I don't think they would be able to bully.your pack about and we have beaten them twice showing a defence that almost knew what they were going to do.

The injuries are masking wanes shortcomings and stubbornness!! Their own fans are bored of watching them even when they win no way can them winning be good for marketing an exciting game

SportsBet must have read my post and not Doom & Gloom's LOL

Hull are now favs then Wire then Pies

LONG LONG , too long , to go to 30 games. World Club Challenge anyone ?

Just enjoy it while it lasts. I think wire and wigan will be the teams to beat come the business end of the season but if we can stay relatively injury free we're in with an outside chance. I do fancy us to do well in the cup this year. I think the performance level lifted a notch at saints and maybe this is an indication of us targeting the comp.

Agreed, it would be crazy to think we can go from 7th to winning the comp in one season. Catalans cup game is massive IMO.
