| He was a favourite for both males and females wanting to get into his technical box and give him a cuddle at full time!

The Academie? But we only bestow that to French writing authors. I'm sure there's something bestowed to non-authors, but it doesn't have the same cache.

| Quote: belgianxiii "Sorry, but Kev's first season could only be viewed as a success if we make the final.
Last year we came third, even if we beat Huddersfield I don't think 2 playoff wins would beat a third place finish.
Perry is just the tip of the squad selection issue, that and poor results from a better squad than last year's.
A top 4 finish and a good run in the cup/playoffs would vindicate him next year - but not this one.'"
given the way the team played last night, still agree with those comments?? team can go into next week, wherever we go, with confidence. who would have thought that 6 weeks ago?

| Do I still think our squad is better than last year's?
Do I still think that we will have acheived less if we don't make the final?
Do I still think that playing Perry is excentric at best?
Would I trade 2 playof wins against finishing third?
Yes.
If we are in the finals this time next week, then I will happily review my opinions.

Can you please tip Wigan's opponents and run down Wigan's chances every week pal?

The first dragons team to be 80 mins from Old Trafford. Or to win two play-off games AWAY, credit deserves to be given.

The title of "Chevalier de la Legion d'Honneur" (Knight of the Honour Legion). He will have to win the SL to get it though!

No. The question is what does Walters have to acheive this year to be acceptable taking over from Potter. The much lower table finish with a better squad requires a good run in the Cup (fail) or a GF appearance.
If we had finished 6th and made the semis I would have been happy. If we had had a good run in the cup I would have been happy. The bottom line is that we have plummeted in the table, done poorly in the cup and won two playoff games. It's not as good as we did in the last two years is it?

Didn't you get to the last four last year? Walters has done the same this year in his first season. Fair play to the bloke in my opinion.

| To me, showing the consistency to finish 3rd is much more than a decent playoff finish.

I'd rather do well in the playoffs, ideally getting to the final or winning the thing than consistently finish third. Each to their own though.

| Like I said, making the final would be better, but we won't beat Leeds, so we won't make the final and we will look back at this season as 8th place finish + 2 wins.
Which ain't that good.

Didn't you also say Wigan had 'not a chance in hell' of beating Hull KR?
