Hopefully we'll do alright in the play offs depending on who we get, PG is a top quality coach who will get them focused and motivated. I agree with the signing of Watts and Mcgoldrick injected some much needed enthusiasm!

Where has this myth come from that we threw the game away in the away game at Salford? It was a close game that could have gone either way. We didn't play well and almost nicked. The rovers and wakey games we threw away I agree. Those 4 points would have us clear in 3rd with 3 very winnable games to go which would have been an amazing achievement considering the season we've had. As it stands top 6 is the required minimum standard and we've probably achieved that despite the problems whereas in the last few years it would have been an excuse for us finishing 11th etc.

i sort of thought losing your own scrum with 5 mins to play when 6 points up, then them scoring on the back of it ,then with about 30 seconds on the clock conceding a pen in front of the posts maybe im wrong but at the time i felt we chucked the game away anyway i guess thats the highs and lows of the season overall with the disruption in the team i think we have done really well, got to put that down to the coach , things havnt gone well in the backroom with the physio as well so all credit to the players and coach i feel with some of his own players in next season and a better run with injuries we will be a force ( got to agree about magoldrick been a real asset proved me wrong )

I would also like to say a big well done to Adam Pearson. It has been amazing the turnaround in just over a year and just the way he has handled the club and the coaching staff has been magnificent. A big well done to everyone involved. oh and thank you as it makes life so much better.

I think it's also worth mentioning that after the weekend's result we have now taken points from every team bar Wigan. A far cry from our consistent flops against top 6 teams of recent years.

The points lost were definately against Wakey and Rovers, both games we had complete control of. Also to an extent the Saints game at home when we completely dominated the game but couldn't score points.

I predicted 6th for us so happy with it, also not far away from third shows that with the right recruitment we could challenge for the top 4 next season.

Dont forget the cancelled away game in Catasln when we were in decent shape and they looked shaky start of season.

But i think think this has been our best home campaign at the KC (please correct me if im wrong) and that is something that should have happened years ago.

One target for next year should be 100% home record

What makes it extra special for me is the way that Gentle said he will give the kids a chance and he stuck to his word, albeit more through injuries. The additions made have been, on the whole, very sound and in Seymour we haven`t seen the best of him yet so we need to stick by him and given a decent off half and behind Heremaia and Houghton we will see the fruition next season. We have the makings of a top four side at the moment given the Rhinos aging pack and we wont be far off Wigan and Warrington come the business end of next season.

1 Horne

6 Holdsworth
7 Seymour

9 Houghton/Heremaia

I'd be happy.

A win against Castleford will certainly do that

that does mean we have to look to improve our away form

Correct mate, if we beat Cas we'll finish with a home record of W10 D2 L1 (85%). In 2004 we recorded W11 D1 L2 (82%). In 2006 when we finished second it was W11 L3.

Compare that to 2009 - W5 L8.

what ever the stats PG, AP and bomber have certainly got things right for us so far and i for one say a huge thank you for that.
we had a dip in form and the coaches and owners got us through it and coming out the other side of it looking strong and ready for play off rugby...
cant wait for next year already

AP wouldn't! he's already stated we WILL have a new 6 & 7 for next season, still think we will get a visa for Chase (will probably come through / be announced towards end of Sept to give a timely boost to pass sales)

Beat me to it don't write chase off yet Pearson said two half backs and i think thats what it will be! I wouldn't write off a new full back either!

thats a good point i hadnt realised that nice to be punching our weight at long last, we have some good players leaving like manu and moa i hope not tickle but arundle should make up for turner if not add more with young crooks and lineman getting plenty of game time that should stand them in good sted and give us quality cover next year

a new 6 and 7 i think will be on the shoping list with horne going to full back im worried about the pack losing moa, ogre, manu and possibly tickle could be a big blow and they could be hard to replace in one year , interesting who we have lined up to replace them we need a good back row and prop
