So my question again, is how does KF get the fans back in on Saturday?

I'd be interested to know what event is happening on Saturday , since the CC game is on Sunday.....

But I suppose a 24 hr lock-in is one idea.

Just cast your mind back to the 3 play off exits.

My point being that maybe that was a true reflection of our standard, based on current season performances.

I know, I am not sure what our standard is. The spend on squad would indicate we should be one of the best teams in the competition, but then a cursory review of a game makes you believe we are one of the worst.

In Powell's defence, Price had years to create those embarrassments of 2019, 2020 and 2021 semi final exit. Powell has had 6 games.

Is it possible that this season we starting to see the sort of results that a Salary capped sport is meant to produce?
I suspect that there were a lot of changes in teams and coaches that were bound to result in unpredictable results and halfway point of the season should show a truer reflection, but “interesting times” for sure.

Super league is closer than ever and i'm loving it, the leeds v Salford game for instance was briliant to watch. A real back and forth fast pace hard hitting game. Apart from our games i'm really enjoying all the matches so far this year.
Powell potentially will have a lot of money to use next year. Widdop should be going home, along with J Clark. If the rumours are true aswell, Hughes and Charnley will be leaving. Those 4 alone will free up much needed cash.
If Widdop does go do you think Riley Dean could step up? or do you think Powell will throw money at Trueman?

See now thats an interesting point there, cos Trueman isn't the hot property he was 18 months/2 years ago, he's had back issues for most of the covid period, he shouldn't comman fat stacks, but if we don't sign him, and sign a prop no doubt the same old same old will be here 2 years down the line saying we should have splurged on Trueman.

Give Riley Dean a go and sign prop and 2nd row forwards with some grunt

Wow , KF isn’t to blame at all here . The problem is far deeper. It ultimately stems from the culture of a club that for the last 10 years has had an arrogance and a sense of self importance.

It may sound bizzare having made that observation but I’m as big of a fan of this club than anyone. However , I am realistic and Moran , Middleton and the rest of this board have given everything they could and more. We have failed but not for the want of trying Be careful what you wish for !!

The vanity project of spending big money has to stop unless the player adds true value. It has no effect and it builds a resentment . We are all human it has to . How would you feel earning probably £200k a year less than someone who doesn’t give a poop and performs so badly ( Widdop)

Take stock build a club and a culture and be patient . Sadly we are miles of that as it stands because of our arrogance.

“Wow”….where did I say KF was to blame?
I simply asked what can he do to get the fans back

A winner takes all race between Whizzy Rascal and the Wire Flyer of course.
