Regarding competing against Leigh/Fev. No we can't compete with their investment at this moment in time. But Featherstone aren't in this position by accident, yes they had investment, but they've also consistently being a top 4 championship team for a number of years. That's what we need to become. Not one year 3rd the next season 8th. The level of investment at those clubs can't go on forever in the championship (Brian Mcdermott comments about wanting to increase home attendances at Fev were interesting)
The squad is good but is underforming at the moment. We need to start capitalising when we get into good positions as a club. The Whitehaven game last year being a good example. There were tons of kids on the terraces and new faces after decent marketing by the club. We were 16-0 up. We should have won that game, finished third and at the end of the game try make a big song and dance of its play-off time and get all those back for a very winnable home play-off tie against 6th place. Instead we completely disintegrated and limped out of the season without a whimper.
