Quote: hull smallears "I think you will go up this season, but all in all I think at best you are a Yo-Yo club with possibly the occasional top 4 and challenge cup as a target. Doubt you will ever win or get to the grand final.
Fc have more of a chance, but we blew that golden chance last year, if we don't do it this year I think we could be in for a few more years of 6-8, poss middle 8's unless our recruitment stacks up - which in fairness it has in recent times.'"
The thing with SL is that it is noticeably getting worse year on year. Any team in there with a good coaching appointment and a bit of luck can go to the Grand Final and even win it. Cas who I'd say are on a par with us in terms of resources etc will have a good go at a top 2 place and it wouldn't be that great a surprise if they won it.
Last year highlighted the fact, Hull went from favourites to bin the coach first to having a great season (apart from the end of season implode). Wigan were awful for most of the year and won the thing.
If we can get promoted (which will be hard) then I don't see any reason we couldn't go on to challenge mid and upwards in a similar manner to Cas.
