We are currently in 7th, two points off top spot after ten rounds. Our performances have been far from perfect, but we are clearly very competitive in what has been the most competitive season ever. If that's our position now, imagine what it could be in a few weeks if we got some wins and the fans stopped shouting for the coaches/teams/CEOs head every time a player makes an error.

missing a brain?

When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser.

Yep

Our situation isn't quite what some will have you believe

60% win rate, 2 points off top. On a macro level we're doing ok. The performances don't give me confidence at all, though.

If we had picked up a win against either Wire or Huddersfield there would have been little to moan about in the greater scheme of things but we lost both in very dissapointing fashion. Next weeks game is winnable despite our injury problems ( they have theirs too) and if we could get the points I"d certainly feel that the players and coach had redeemed themselves. Will tell us a lot, I think.

Not sure if it is still on but there was a programme called fantasy island , you may be better watching that

It’s just not that bad is it?

I was hoping this season would be us back towards the top; it hasn’t been so far, but it is a season where we can see the remaining gaps.

It’s also a year where the youth is developing nicely.

That's the spirit. You should do the half time team talk. We have already beaten them this season and have won more than weve lost against them under Smith. I hope the players have more fight than you do.

I'm going to the Catalan game hoping to get some good food good banter and hopefully a good result.
