well with 10 games remaining whats everyones thoughts of the season so far and for the remainder of the season.

Think we are in a very strong position at the moment and we seem to be hitting the straps at just the right time,we are getting players back and when horney comes back i can see him and longy producing a very good partnership,the lads sem full of confidence,next week will be a toughy but its deffo one we can win as i see hudds as a bit of a hit and miss team, then we can go on and beat cats at home that will be a good return of 8 points from 8 in june think it could well be between us and leeds for 4th spot,i also believe agar bringing webster in was a great move 3 young coaches with agar and lasty who are all doing a great job with the first team and the 20s,i can see webster staying on beyond this season, i still think there is room for improvement but im well happy with the way things are going atm long may it continue,well done to all concerned.

I think we won tonight without really playing well, we scored some really good tries but also bombed a lot of chances by dropping the ball. I am very happy with the two points and i always thought we would win the game because our defence looked relly good.

I look at the table and think wow 4th, well done boys but I also think we can play a lot better than we are doing and have we at last had a bit of luck. Agree with Wolfie, think Horne back for the business end of teh season might just be the spark we need to really get going.

All in all, 4th in the table with a lot more to come, cannot complain at that and it can only get better.

The best bit for me has been the impact of the players brought in. O'Meley, Fitz and Long have been absolutely brilliant buys for the leadership and quality they bring to the team. I still think the squad balance is wrong, but you can't deny what these 3 bring to the party. Loving Manu's continued great form as well - he is absolute class and I'm delighted he's staying.

If you'd offered me 4th at this point at the start of the season I'd have bitten your hand off.



Next week's game and the Bradford one are the big markers for me - win those and top 4 could be on. Think we'll struggle v Hudds personally and we'll miss O'Meley big time in that game. I think we'll end up 5th or 6th now, depending on injuries (both ours and others) which is pretty good in the context of where we've been. Still not convinced that we wouldn't be doing better with a coach of the calibre of Smith/Maguire/McLennan, mind, but credit to Agar on bringing in the big 3 recruits if nothing else.

i think we'll lose 3 more games and finish top 2.

The real thing that is pleasing me at the minute is that there looks like there is more to come from the team. Although we are playing well at times, I think if we can start putting a full eighty minute performance together come play off time then not many teams will fancy playing us.

Next few games are crucial for me, think we will miss ogre against shudds as they have a good pack, but as has been said they can be very hit and miss, so let's hope on Sunday they are miss! After that i would hope we would beat Cats at home.

I would be more than happy with fifth or sixth come end of the season, represents a real improvement on the previous two campaigns. Let's just carry on trying to improve and see where it takes us! Really trying not to get carried away, but after the last two years it's hard not to get a little excited when we are in such a much better position!!

that's a massive call dave and tbh I can't see it.

Wire won't lose 5, Wigan won't lose 7 and I wouldn't be surprised if Leeds only lose a couple. I'd happily take 5th any thing else is a bonus.

Top 3 then.



I predict

A v Hudds - L
H v Cats - W
A v Bulls - L
A v Wakey - W
H v Rovers - W
H v Wigan - W
A v Quins - W
H v Crusaders - W
A v Wire - L
H v Leeds - W

Thats not overly optimistic is it? Only away games ive predicted we'll win are Wakey and Quins. I expect to win our home games.

Wire could well lose 5 as they may have an eye on the cup again and with the playoffs guaranteed they could easily take the foot off the pedal so to speak. but we wont finish top 2.

Wire have a easier run in and a very well equiped squad they could lose 3.

They could be distracted with Wembley too.

could be but I think smith will have them very focused.

We are doing well at the moment and i predict a 5th place finish unless Leeds make the CC final then i will go for 4th. Either way it would be a good season if we do finish there and i will eat my proverbial hat. I may not go as far as adding standing to my shirt though



I think we can beat Hudds next week as we seem to do well against them, Rovers is a key game as in a derby anything can and usually does happen. I think we will slip up against one of the "easier" teams and that could well be our bogey side Quins.
