Hate to say it but a final appearance should not appease anyone. Not only that if we were to get final.I really worry that Wigan could embarrass us.

Good job you're not obsessed like some of our fans are supposed to be.

Trouble is he wouldn't sign for a one armed bloke

Let's just call Tony Smith and say we concede then. Save ourselves the embarrassment.

They didn't at KC.

well after seeing us throw away a possible 8 points in the last 4 matches and giving the cat a good kicking, ive calmed down a bit, my shirts in the wash and get our tickets next week, we will be big underdogs on sunday,but when the teams come out and the chorus of old faithful rings around the ground its game on, lets get behind the lads, only joking about the cat , it was the dog lol

I would think Adam is in it for the long haul as he's already said multiple times. I suspect he has a lot more stomach for it than some of the more fickle fans around.

As I said the other day there'll be thousands of us there next week cheering the lads on. We've got a performance in us to win it but there's no telling what team will turn up and that's what has to change to become successful. As for it not meaning anything unless we win it I wouldn't go along with that entirely. I think AP ultimately wants to win both comps but a visit this year win or lose might even be better than he had hoped for less than 2 years in. There's no doubt that were we to get there it would offer a big financial boost and help with the investment strategy we have. It would also rekindle some interest in the club. Of course he ultimately wants us to win things regularly as we all do but I think getting there this season would be seen as a step in the right direction regardless of result.

Genius post!

Idiot? Actually just a fan whose watched the lads home n away for over 30 years trying to be positive ahead of a massive game!

Enjoy the school holidays!

Agree but I still think we are lacking size, so a big nasty go forward prop and someone who could change a game with the blink of a eye would put us in the right direction.

Great post. Let's be right, when we have the annual off season thread about preference, should we win a trophy, the CC gets a lot of votes. A Wembley appearance would be a shot in the arm for the club, and more significant than finishing, say, 5th, especially financially.

At last someone talking a bit of common sense I will be there because I love my club and am sure good times are not far away, if you doom and gloomers don't like it don't go simples but leave the rest of us to get behind the team the way proper supporters do then you can jump back on the bandwagon later

When the results throughout the season are analysed, we have not been blown away at all apart from Leeds first up and Catalan away in the league. We have lost some woeful games to supposed 'inferior' opposition and for me our league position is unacceptable.

However, when the big games and big guns have come a calling we have managed to raise our game most of the time. We have given the current league leaders (Huddersfield) 2 good fights, we have given Wigan a bloody good go, we have drawn at Saints and we have beaten Rovers, Leeds, Catalan and Warrington. In short we have taken points off 5 of the 7 teams currently above us in the league.

We are like Liverpool in the premier league. Certainly not good enough over the course of a full season but when we turn up we can and have given EVERYONE a game!!!

I am very quietly confident..........


(Or do I just have my black and white blinkers on )

You have signed these players and you still want more!

At the moment you remind me of wire 2009. Not in a bad way to the point where I am nervous about Sunday. That season was our turning point. We finished 10th if I remember correctly but won the challenge cup and that piece of silverware seemed to catapult us forward giving us the belief that we could win something. So back your team sing loud and proud and let's have a great game of rugby.
