Speaking personally, I've largely enjoyed the last 10 years and perhaps we should remember not all clubs are lucky enough to have played in Superleague at all. My thanks to all at the club for the good times.

But having followed Rovers since the sixties and got used to winning very little, even when things looked rosy, I have settled into just looking at one game at a time. If I'm watching a competitive game with a decent standard of play I don't much care whether we're playing Wigan or Workington, I just enjoy the game and try not to worry about championships and such.

These last couple of years have been pretty dull (Wembley apart) and I didn't fancy another bout of middle eights misery. So while it does seem lacking in ambition to admit it, I'm more enthused about the realistic chance of winning something next year and progressing than suffering another embarrassing season like this one.

I think you'll get promoted if you can put together a half decent team. With sheens gone and mar kicking off every 5 minutes I expect them to be a lot worse this season unless they sack their coach at some point. Obviously with a chris chester pre season you'll also all be confident of finishing above wakey in the middle 8's too

I'll give it two months, and the wakey fans will be after his resignation.

Leeds have a DR arrangement with Featherstone and that will continue next season.

Wakey will be the team in trouble next year. They had a couple of wins this year when Chester arrived that saved them from the middle 8s. They would have struggled badly this year if not for those wins. That is your aim for next season. Not to beat the championship clubs in the season but to beat Wakey twice - in the 8s and £1m game.
I predicted KR to go down this year once the bottom 4 was sorted mainly down to injuries. I was nearly wrong till that last 2 minutes but I fully expect Wakey to be on the trap door soon and unfortunately for them I also think they could then be in massive trouble when they do fall and could end up there for many, many years. KR mustn't get distracted by the teams that just aim to spoil. That happens a lot with the trainee refs you will get.

I agree with a lot you say, but at the risk of sounding disrespectful of the other championship teams and the 23 round season, if we're in there next august with Salford wakey and Leigh we won't be targeting the mpg we'll be looking to win 5 games to get us up
