I think we need as fans to be realistic, the transformation of our club over the last year has been staggering, its unbelievable, its amazing and what a fabulous season we have just enjoyed. SL 2025 is arguably on paper the toughest yet, would it be fair to suggest that ourselves, Cas, Hudds, possibly Hull and possibly Salford ( depending on how they come through their financial challenge and there by the grace of Matt Ellis go us ) are in a mini league and to finish 8th would be a fabulous achievement for us. To finish 8th would we need 11 wins ?
11 wins would be a great season and we as fans should be very happy with that, 5 wins would be poor , 6 or 7 wins would be expected by pundits and outsiders I think.
That said I am 100 % confident that Matt Ellis, the coaching team and players will all be aiming higher than 11 wins.

Obviously I'm hoping for more and a cheeky stab at 6th place which would probably require 15 wins but I'll settle for 10 .

What's not getting mentioned is the momentum we have from last season which hopefully may yield us some points in the difficult opening month of the season and set us a bit of a platform .

Momentum is sometimes massively understated in sport and this club is on a real high at the moment , I can easily see us going to Headingley in the first game and causing an upset .

I can hardly wait for opening game at Headingley , we are going to backed by at least 3k fans in my opinion and for the first time I can remember going there with real belief rather than a bit of hope .
