To be fair to the guy, I think he was trying to fire up some support and enthusiasm for today's game. A tad strange, as everyone here has blue'n'white running through their bones! Equally Dbvada, it would perhaps be better if you temper your criticisms of the club board and the way it's run. We might not all agree with decision made, but mostly they're made in good faith, it's just that not everything works out how you'd like it to.

Things could be much worse. Imagine that you're a Bulls supporter!!!

Yes, Dbvada's spelling of the word "lose" was quite annoying. But whereas he's stating the obvious in terms of the financial implications of missing out on the qualifiers, without any long term ambition in getting into Super League it'll just prove to be another "short term bung". Missing fans will continue to be missing, and new fans won't materialise. So to claim the future of the club depends on this one game is over egging it a bit. Oh, and saying we need some luck? You're having a laugh. We've only been in the top 4 for 2 out of the 22 rounds so far, so I'd say it'll be Toulouse being the unlucky ones if they miss out after being in the top 4 in approx 18 of those rounds.

Having said that, I'm EXTREMELY nervous about today and had a twitchy night's sleep following Toulouse's late win. So all the best lads, give it your best shot.

You're wrong.

A great result today, due to internet. Problems. I could. Not even get radio reception to listen to updates. And. Spent the time pacing the floor. Like an expectant father.
Whilst things look good now and some people will need to look back at posts they made earlier in the season there will be people who need to publicaly need to apologise to HRLFC.
I hope that during the next few months we do not get the moaners saying we should go ful time, from my reading and understanding, as a club we are not ready yet for that step. When the Directors and all who make that decision say we are in a position to do so we will be able to do so and cement a place in SL with ought getting thrashed most weeks.
In the meantime well done RM. plays, BOD and supporters, here to. The next 7 games.
Come on you blues.

Well, I certainly didn't think we'd make the top 4, and early results didn't change that. A fantastic end to the regular season means we now have 7 really tough games coming up, but ones that everyone I'm sure is really happy to face up to.

I'm not going to second guess what the BOD will do, whether it's new faces or not. I'm just on a high at the moment after that performance and the thought of some serious games over the coming weeks (even if with disappointing results) rather than the tin pot trophy we could have been playing for.

A big well done to HRLFC.

Whatever your view on life today was a fantastic game changer certainly for next season. Suddenly the club becomes a far more attractive proposition for investors, sponsors ,players the lot. Winning the prize money ( and spending it!) last time will I hope have provided valuable experience on and off field so I look forward to the new board ( or new members) and coach making a lasting long term difference. Best of luck.

Your right I can't spell

I have no "mates" i want on the Board. Although I think the club would certainly be in a better position if the names being mentioned (Turner, Posner, Stansfield) came back.

I admire the two Michaels for what they have done and the cash they have coughed up, in Mr Steele's case amounts that have meant the bills and wages could be paid this year. Other directors (and advisors) have to be able to look at themselves and ask if they have done it for the club, or for their ego...even those that where here long time. I just don't want people claiming credit for others and I don't want those that may have caused an issue coming off as stars.

You must be gutted. How are those apples?

Today was about our future I agree and the result gives the whole club a massive lift, all we need now is some of the stay away fans to come back and some did today so that is a start, they must have been impressed as it was a good game (for us) and great atmosphere (from us).
I hope the club can kick on from this and use the extra money wisely.

Well the BOD, coaching staff and players backed themselves - and achieved their objective - top 4 and a decent budget for next year - well done to all concerned.

Fantastically well done against all the odds and doubters(self included).
