no doubting you are the team to beat at the mo and playing some good rugby, still think with you having to play toulouse twice and a few other top 6 sides some home some away you will be beaten at some point cant see you getting beat more than 2 or 3 times

but as last season proved it is not how you start its how you finish, play off football is totally different pressure and different teams react in different ways

enjoy it, as i remember 2004 when you were minutes away from NL2 and the joy on rob and co's faces when you pulled the rabbit out of the hat at widnes
plenty of twists and turn left in the season for lots of teams

ive read on another forum from a Widnes fan saying Form is temporary, class is permanent (on about themselves! )

Something tells me that they think they will come good & we will fall from grace. Cant see it happening, also, us fans havent been gloating too much on other threads (well apart from littlerich ) so dont think we'd kop too much flak should we happen to lose a couple

Well they are screwed on both counts

And so it begins.
Let the rediculous claims that we are rubbish commence.

Fact is, we are still the best team and club in this league. We lost one game.

But to all the Fax fans that said I was being negative etc etc, just spend a few minutes looking at all the posts from other teams saying we are rubbish.
This was exactly what I meant when I started this thread. I was there today, we were poor, simple as that. But I'll be at Donny, then the next and the next and the next.

Ok, so you disagree, but you've not given any reasons or evidence to prove why my statement is incorrect

The best team will be whichever one wins the grand final, after all that is what every team is aiming to win at the start of the season. It's about peaking at the right time. I don't know how you would judge which is the best club in our league, you suspect Widnes though just because of the finances and support.

Blueboy, I think you are misreading the last few posts, the "Quote" facility has messed up.
Obeone said "whatever" when I said we are still best team and club in the league and I then asked him why we aren't.


I feel some people are underestimating the importance of finishing top of this league. It means you have to win one out of 2 games at home to make the Grand Final. To get to the Grand final from 6th place means winning 3 games in a row, away form home, against teams that finished above you! A huge task.
