Seb, dont worry too much about these two, Martin will be trying to prove a point and Aspinwall, according to Bomber is the rough edge we needed in the middle! At the meet the coach session, Gentle said Aspinwall is shaking some bones in training and everyone is giving him a wide berth, hard as nails. Have faith. I'm just pleased we have been promised more than 5 drives and a kick this season!!

A top 6 finish with steady development and more atractive Rugby.

An East Stand which makes some noise again and backs the team!

and.........................a winning season, (win more than we loose)

I will settle for this in 2012 but I would like some silverware soon please!!!

Are you hinting you want a cutlery set for Christmas??

This is the first season I've looked forward to for a while. The last three or four years, going to rugby has become a chore, something I went to because I always had done, rather than going because I enjoyed it.

I think our squad for next season has a really good balance to it and obvious weaknesses seem to have been addressed with decent recruitment (we have an actual scrum half and a kicking game next year!).

Due to the high number of changes to the squad and the fixture list, I think we may struggle for results early in the season.Ride this storm, keep improving and hopefully peak towards the business end of the season. Leeds & Saints last year proved that finishing in the top 2 doesn't guarantee you a grand final place.

Will you start selling ice creams again in the summer?

I don't think the squad is good enough to seriously challenge. I hope we start to see some consistency and a big culture change throughout the club and for us to have a positive season that doesn't fizzle out like teh last few.

I'm just glad agar and his financial vampire auntie has finally gone

That alone guarentees a happy new year

.

While it is understandable, I'm not sure hoping to do OK next year in preparation for a big year in 2013 stacks up. In my opinion, now Agar's gone and we have some half backs, we should aspire to big improvements in 2012 and see where it takes us.

This is because it may be wishful thinking to think we'll have a better squad in 2013. All the evidence points to it getting extremely hard to sign good players, and if you adhere to the salary cap having a highly ambitious or wealthy owner doesn't get us away from that. The top class Aussie player market is becoming dead, many top English players are on long contracts with good clubs, and we could potentially lose Briscoe and Moa, who will be difficult to replace.

Therefore the keys to success are the coaching and youth policy. Hopefully the coaching will have a quick impact, but the youth policy may take a while to turn around and bear fruit. Although now Agar is gone, there may be some hope that we could be suprised by some of our younger players.
