| Realistically I would settle for the Challenge cup,finish top of the league, win the grand final,the Floodlit nines,Clive Sullivan trophy and the Hardaker cup.
Anything else is a bonus
By the way does anyone know how to remove Dencorub,it sure is giving my head a torrid time

| anything less than 6th and i will be disappionted-if we can stay relatively injury free the team we have for next year should be well capable of that-a couple more good signings and we should be right up there,i just worry about the coach(thats not a dig cos i really really hope the guy proves most of wrong!) but im pretty optimistic!

| I expect us to put in 100% effort every game, and have something resembling a clue. And leadership on the pitch. I also want to see us play a more entertaining brand of football and score more tries.
As for league position - think I'll wait until all clubs have completed their recruitment before attempting any kind of guess in that regard.

After 4 seasons of meeting or exceeding expectations, even if we had a rotten year, I'm sure Morgan would be safe. The year after would be when the pressure would come, if things went badly again.
I think the wonderful thing about SL now is that any can go into a new season with optimism. Leeds are very good. Saints are too, although they are coming back to the pack a little. Wigan I think could re-emerge as a real force in the next few years. After that its pretty even - look what Hudds did this year after a poor 2008.
I notice that Rovers don't make a couple of predicted 8s. And we might not - but don't let our performances skew your assessment of your own team - either way.

| I believe it will be a ridiculously close season. Leeds top then saints, huddersfield, hkr, wigan, cas, wakey, wire, catalans and us taking up the next positions in any order. I know its not complete but harlequins, bradfords, salfords and celtic's recruitment doesn't look good. I'd like to see enthusiasm from the younger players, leadership from the older ones and a game plan from the coach. Our backline looks exciting plenty of pace and our pack looks like it can dominate a few sides so the signs are all there. If Tansey, Horne, Long, Berrigan and Washbrook play most games I cant see why we couldn't get top 6.

| With a decent injury run top 6 but have concerns at our strength in the halves. Should be good watching our pack.

663_1379281559.jpg [b:1g6itio7][color=#000000:1g6itio7]Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.; [/color:1g6itio7][/b:1g6itio7]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_663.jpg |

| What many FC supporters have to consider many more then any other year, well since 2000. Is the team will be a high percentage of new players, they will take time to gel even under a good coach. There will be more then one or two bad matches before they find a working relationship togther, indeed they might not find it until late in the season.
You can get the best players in the world in every position and it does not mean they will be a world dominating force for some time. Warrington thought they had the right formula, they needed a coach who knew what to do with them and then look at what they are and what they could become next year.
There is the opportunity to be challenging next year, no doubt on that but we all thought we should have been in the mix this year with the squad we should have had. Perhaps we should wait and see what happens next season, but if Agar is found wanting and have yet another bad year. Then heads further up the food chain have to roll this time, its no good blaming the coach some of us know where the problem lies and this would be the time they jumped ship.
5 -8 is quite a hope, not a target

| Would settle for anything above 8th TBH given the last 2 years
But our team on paper and size of the club we should be aiming for Top 4

Have to agree, but I dont think Agar is the coach for us to challenge the top 4.
I would give him 4 games at the start of the season, I am not talking about winiing or losing, I would also look at performances and style of rugby. Then if it isnt working make the chance quick before it's too late.

| 4 Games? That sounds fair. Do we count pre season as well? They'll be loads of good coaches available at that time. Its not like our new players in key positions will need to get used to each other.

10603.jpg Is it true that Richard Agar's favorite movie of all time is Groundhog Day or does he just generally like the same boring s**t day after day, season after season?:10603.jpg |

| Been involved in the play offs and seeing the team enter the field with the right mentality and commitment levels on a regular basis is the minimum for me.
That been said, whilst making the play off’s would be an improvement on the past two seasons, just scraping in by finishing 7th or 8th would slightly disappoint me. We should be aiming to bounce back with a vengeance next year, and apart from Leeds I don’t really see any other dominant force. Even though the Giants finished 3rd, they are still a team I regard as one we should be beating twice a season. I don’t mean to disrespect them, but it’s not like it was few years ago when Leeds, Saints, Bradford and Wigan seemed unbeatable to all other teams. If we apply ourselves in the right manner next year, then we should be more than a match for most teams and be capable of finishing 3rd or 4th imo.
Obviously things need to improve dramatically off the field for these improvements to become reality on it. With the signings we have made, the players we have released and issues within the coaching team seemingly resolved, my glass is starting to fill up again. It’s not quite full yet, but I think Agar has made some positive decisions and seems to be making the right noises since the season finished, and this fills me with renewed optimism for the new season.

| This "needing time to gel" is a load of rubbish, the players coming in are well paid professionals, it always amazes me how sports fans are expected to tolerate something that no other customer would be expected to.
Nothing short of hard work, professionalism and determination will do for me next season, I'm sick and tired of make do and mend rugby league.

| Top 8, I think we will have a much stronger pack but we will still struggle in the final third in my opinion, we have strike players in the backs but im still not sure if we have the pivots capable of using them properly there is unbelievable pressure on Long similar to Dykes a couple of years ago, add that to Agars negative approach in general I still think people will be disappointed.
