2016 Season. : Wed Feb 03, 2016 6:16 pm  

Really looking forward to the new season and I'm wondering what people expect from us. I personally think that a top four finish is a must but hopefully we can edge one of the full time teams out and get third at least. After saying that i would add that this would be the last season that I would settle for not coming top or getting back to SL as it's been too long for Fax to be a second rate team. Its about time we took the next step up, 2017 will mark 30 Years since we won owt! Oh! and a good run int cup is long overdue as well. Up The Fax!

For me, I would be happy enough with a top four finish this coming season. The league as a whole has improved and will be far more 'shocks' than in previous years imo. With a view to going full time next season, we need to show improvement week on week as we did last season

Pete I hate to disappoint you but finishing 3rd concentrate on the important things like improving your Burgers.

I think most of us would view less than top four a step backwards.
However we don't know what is going on behind the scenes and I am confident top four or not 2017 will see us go full time.
We need to do our part, support home and away and try to encourage some of our lost souls to give it a go again.
Ps.
A good thread, please Mods watch it so for once it doesn't get derailed by us v Leigh or doggy tales.

First team top 4 spot would be good.

Second team / reserve side team to produce some talent to strengthen the club now and in the future.

Marketing to get the Fax name out there and some more good quality sponsorship on board.

Too late!

Think it will be a really good season for us. Leigh will win the league, I can see us pushing Bradford for second.
Going to make a bold statement and say I don't think we'll lose at the shay this year during the regular season.

John your first game last season started with a convincing away win at Haven,word went out you were going to storm up the table taking no prisoners, the wheels seemed to come off in April around our visit,history may repeat itself.
Fantastic that's a very bold and brave statement, I admire your foresight,it will be wrong , but I admire it .

4th place minimum although I think 3rd is more likely. I view us as been better than the other teams scrapping for the top 4 and think we should be consistently better than them over the season. I have a sneaky suspicion we could have a very good chance of been in the fight for 2nd though and hopefully us having a more winnable game at the Summer Bash this year can help us get one over Bradford. I dont expect teams like Leigh and Bradford to take us lightly but I dont buy in to other teams figuring us out, I think it will be a case of them getting a surprise just how much us making the 8's and our off season have improved us.
