Said this last season - it's fairly obvious in my view.

Yep.
I like the way he's set very high expectations of which anything less is complete failure, gives him a basis to come back on here spouting his anti-club/Radford rhetoric on the good chance they're not met. He's noticeable as the only person on here setting such parameters for failure.
A strange way for someone to live their life. I wonder if such high targets were set when he had the brainwave to produce that badly-written Radford Out petition? 103 signatures on a petition would signify failure to me, but then again the petition is still open - perhaps for a re-launch later this year: https://www.change.org/p/adam-pearson-h ... terminated

| I'd love to see a 5th spot finish at the end of the regular season and a decent run in the cup. I think we have a brilliant squad this year, one of the best i've seen for a while and believe we have the ability to achieve what i've mentioned.

The Salford match will show just how far we come with this new squad.
Its definately exciting times i just hope we dont get a reality check next week from a mid table team.
My big disappointment from the HKR friendly given our dominance was i didnt see much of Logan.
I hope he retains his place but wouldnt surprise me to see Fonua moved to centre and Naughton on the wing

cartoons/WB17.gif I've been on the internet and have already got a sense of the fans' passion for the club. They are very fanatical - Peter Gentle 12th September 2011.
Money doesn't talk it swears, Obscenity who really cares, Propaganda all is phony.
I'm the son and heir of a shyness which is criminally vulgar.
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way.

| Would like to see us win a minimum of 50% of our games (i.e. 15 wins from 30). That would probably leave us around 6th in the league. Would also hope to win two or three games post split to at least be in contention for a top four spot.
Based on last year's table, in order to finish fourth we will have to win an extra seven games. For a team who only won twelve league games in 2015, that's a sizable hike in form, one I suspect is too big to achieve in one leap.
I'm still not convinced that we have enough creativity behind the big pack to be serious contenders and, as such, I'm with most people on here in thinking that 6th is a realistic indicator of where we are right now.
What most of us on here want to see is evidence that we are moving in the right direction, both in terms of results and performance, with improvements in all areas. We're not going to know the answer to this until the season is well underway.
The one thing we can be sure of, is that no matter what the next 7 months may bring, this board will be as lively and argumentative as it always is, and I doubt we would want it any other way ![Smile icon_smile.gif](images/smilies//icon_smile.gif) .

The extra 7 games you talk of was the total table including super8s
We know we had little to play for and purposefully went about blooding the kids
Prior to the split we'd only needed 3more wins to hit 4th. If you can be around there pre split then anything can happen from there!

| So how long until the Radford out stuff starts again when your not exceeding most of your fans expectations?

17490_1406583406.jpg First there was wisdom
Then there was knowledge
Now there is only information:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_17490.jpg |

| This squad is definitely capable of a top 6 finish. This would be a reasonable improvement on last season and anything less than that would be unacceptable in my opinion (and probably in the owner's opinion too).
The cup is a lottery where anything can happen so we shouldn't set any targets there.
What I would really like to see is us playing entertaining rugby, competing with (and ideally beating) the likes of Wigan and Leeds and not slipping up against the weaker teams, especially at home.
