Nor in Simms is probably the best of the three brothers but his peak passes some time back.

So he and the Melbourne bench warmer are going to make HKR world beaters?

Is the bench warmer a proven quantity?

How ever you look at it they have strengthened more than us and thay where good to beat us last season.ill stand by what i said leigh been promoted will make things tougher on us they currently have a good squad and they will only improve this even more personally think its gonna be a battle between us leigh hull kr znd maybe salford depending on how they react to watson leaving.

Where do you get strengthening from, I don't get it. You have no idea whether these players will do a job, you're just assuming on reputation.

Ditto, you're assuming that last year has any relevance to this, it has sod all to do with it.

I find your attitude a little odd, to be honest. Why do you expect the players to perform when you've already written them off, that's the sort of defeatism we tend to take the micky out of the French for, are you French?

Truth is some fans just love the misery and the worst thing that could happen to them is if the team won something. They seem to think criticism is positive, well it rarely is and it absolutely isn't when a ball has not yet been passed.

We are a potential top-six team end of. If we fail it's because we didn't try hard enough not because we didn't have the players. We should be competing with the top teams as we were up until 2019.

Anyway, time will tell.

And the last 2 seasons we have finished second to bottom fact so no matter how you look at it we need to improve.where do i get hull kr have improved this is based on the calibre of players brought in has to those who have been released yes based on names on paper as to performces but your basing our chances on players on paper opposed to past performances (8 wins in around 40)

I am not in anyway giving criticism towards the players not in anyway in fact i hope that the likes of jordan max brad continue there recent developments and improvments and hope that the topous lynes and millers get back to the form they where in 3 to 4 years ago and feel mc and co are doing a great job in been able build a team in light of this pandemic where in.also as different to what you think i want i want nothing more than to see a successful teamout there on the pitchĺ although i do find you odd that you believe that a team that as struggled to gain a win to be able to be top 6 if not higher but the team who finished what q or 2 wins below us cant and wond wont pose a threat. . Im more than realistic and until we get through this pandemic staying in the league is my main hope anything else is a bonus after all we are having to lower our playing budget and as great as mc is hes not a ken davey

Also am i french hahah first time ive had that thrown at me born any manygates raisd and nred in this merrie city....

Ditto this year, yes we finished second from the bottom (just) but did it really matter when all is said and done as 2020 was not like any season I've ever known.

Firstly, I'm no friend of yours deluded or not
Secondly, we didn't lose the game so your comment means zip
Lastly, you stated it was a fact, it wasn't, you were wrong, my deluded fellow forum member

Deffo deluded no doubt about that yes i got my facts wrong im man enough to admit it it spose and yes we squeezed past london on that night

But it doesnt alter our recent record and performces are poor go ask any fans who dont follow wakey and they will have us down as chance relagation candidates.which as like some im not deluded i can live with that i do qorey what leigh can achieve weather they will or not will be there to be seen i am not having ago at any player i actually think chris and mc re doing a great job under the circumstances esp with lowest budget out there.

But i will stand by my initial post i feel leigh out of all the teams promoted are best equipped to stay in sl due to the decent squad thay have built and the finances to go out and further improve

No, because Saints had something to play for, we didn't, other than a bit of pride, which we got back to a fair degree. HTH
