No doubt, it will be no different next season if the new Coach loses a game or does not select the right team as decided by the non playing experts!

A season which has been played in unusual and difficult circumstances with a less than normal sized squad, injuries to key players, more than usual suspensions, players out on loan, but still managed to play the most games and finished in fourth position.

Hate to think what the adverse comments had been like if the club had failed to play as many games and not make the play off's with no chance of getting to Old Trafford.

Thank goodness, the majority of more sensible supporters have been a bit more understanding of the situation that the club has been in the last eighteen months or so in regard to its finances and prudent cost cutting!

There are supporters and then again, there are more better thinking supporters!

I so much agree with your sentiments if only all these experts were running the show who knows how good we could become.

In most of your posts you assert that the majority of people agree with your way of thinking. Do you ever wonder why so many people argue with you if that is the case?

Best performance of the season, pretty low bar I know but actually enjoyed that tonight

Re: Catalans (H) : Fri Sep 17, 2021 9:52 pm  

Been saying since Cas- We will give anyone a tough game in the play offs. We’ve flicked the switch now. It’s not the switch that it used to be but it should still keep us in every game. Teams like Wire, Cas and Catalans have scored try’s for fun this season but in the games against us recently, we’ve turned each one in to a grind. We’re basically daring teams to break us down but with 18 points conceded in the last 4 games against Cas, Wire, Hull and Catalans, we’re making teams nervous I’m sure.

Is Lams master plan coming to fruition?

Despite lots of dropped ball we stuck at it tonight and thoroughly deserved the victory.

McDonnell and Halsall were superb , as was Isa . I don’t think we missed Singleton but things are looking a bit brighter , especially with Farrell , Bateman , Marshall and possibly Powell to return . We’ve actually turned the corner whilst Powell has been out of the side . Surely he has to come back in though

Really enjoyed tonight. Let’s hope there’s more to come !

First time I’ve enjoy a game all year. Great performance!

Nervous about next week as home playoff games are always awkward but we get through that Catalan won’t fancy us with Powell, Singleton, Marshall, Bateman and Farrell back.

Kicking game was outstanding, from Hastings in particular.
Gildart had the measure of Whare in the first half, not sure why we stopped going that way in the second.
Havard made some silly errors. Probably the only negative other than O’Neill failing HIA which might rule him out of the play-off game.

The atmosphere was really good - hopefully the club can retain plenty of those fans given free tickets!
