Silverware is a successful season...

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.

The majority of our fans have said they expect us to finish 6th. I imagine we'll be equally as narked as your handful of fans will be if you don't manage to finish 6th or above.

Our home form simply has to improve. Five wins from fourteen last season was terrible. Just two wins from ten against the rest of the top eight.

Away from home we won six from fifteen (not including Magic weekend). That was as good as Cas and Warrington and much better than Catalans.

i'm pretty sure the doom and gloom and stuff on here started well before september

Didn't you limp out the challenge cup?

Trying not to get too giddy given our drubbing of Rovers, given that every other team will have ten times that defence. Still think if we hit the ground running vs Salford we'll be up the top half of the table, I don't know why but I'd step over a hundred SL titles for another cup win so that's what I want us to go for and if we got to Wembley in 2013 there's no reason we can't with this (in my opinion) better squad.

I expect us to do better than last year. 6th would be evidence of that but not looking so inept would work for me too. Once again we should have no trouble getting down the pitch but if we have truly turned a corner then we should be turning good field position into big points.

How much better we do depends on a lot of ifs. E.g. if Sneyd plays with England form again. If key players stay fit. If Logan and Abdul grow into their shirts. And so on. If things come together we could mount a serious challenge to the big teams.

There is real hope but I won't be betting my house deposit on us just yet.

My dad always used to say that it's your pack that gets you to Wembley, and your backs that win it.

We must be brothers, because that's what my dad always said to me.

Our backs must have been rubbish every time I've watched us there then
