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.

All men are created equal, some work harder in preseason.

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.

Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?: |

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. |

I suppose that when you describe last season as "dire", our Wembley backs must have been "rubbish" at the very least. |

No, if he'd been my dad I'd have run away from home. |

| Quote: knockersbumpMKII "Expectations and where we should finish with the quality of squad we have amassed seem to have a huge disparity.
If Radford can't reach top 4 and secure a play off with this squad (the best we have assembled in years) he should be shot. Anything less (barring a CC win) frankly should be considered another failure, I can't believe people are saying 6th is considered a success, how quickly we forget!'"
The best squad Radders & motu have assembled, not we.
After all you did judge him with PG/bombers squad. |
