We did play particularly well that day with some expansive stuff thrown in as well - it's just a shame that we didn't see it more often over the course of the season. My own humble opinion is that Rich (and the team) have to deliver consistently this season - the time for talking really is over. I know that every game is tough, the teams are getting closer together, you can't win every week blah, blah, blah, but that doesn't seem to stop the likes of Warrington, Wigan and Saints being consistent.

have always thought agar is out his depth, if you look at record last season we never really beat anyone by a big score once his plan A dosen,t work we usually lose,too predictable. Will see if he can do any better this season,i,ll give him 8 matches and if we arn,t top 3 i think he will go would love to see brian noble as coach loads of experience and won everything in sl

If the hand of fate with regards injuries plays fair with us this year we will be having a good crack at all silverware on offer this coming term thats for sure!! and lets be fair we deserve a season relatively free of injuries after the last three dont we!

The threads on here with regards SL will be interesting as the season opens out because I have a feeling he will surprise everyone and earn that further year he is looking at !! lets all hope he does huh, a fit and cocky SL can only be good

Here we go again

I hope it's his last .

Anyone else fed up of the same excuses, injuries!!! Every team will have injuries thats the reason you have squads. Saints didnt do too badly with the injuries they had and made the grand final without there first choice half backs! We will finish at best 6th with the current squad and coaching set up and that is being optimistic.

For me, Sunday is crucial

At last someone speaks sense. Injuries are part of the game . It was not injuries that led to Judas leaving and still nearly 4 yrs down the line we haven't replaced him. Its not due to injuries that we are going into our first friendly of the season with a coach quoted as saying he still doesn't really know who our halves are. Ok you can state Horney but come on folks when if ever will he get back to pre injury and illness quality?

I never thought I would say these things but

1) We should have pushed the boat out when Dobson was available. I wonder if Kath and Jimmy regret that miss.

2) Never before have I been so pessimistic about a season.

I just hope they exceed my expectations unlike the last 4 seasons.

Oh FFS not that old chestnut.

I know...... How many times do these idiots have to be told????

For Agar read Roy Hodgson to me the jobs too big for him, decent assistant but not a head coach
