Good luck.

Does it really matter that we've played 4 of last year's top 6? We are a SL team paying the same cap as them but it's fine we shouldn't expect to beat them because hey they finished above us last season. Great attitude of excepting mediocrity.
You really need to wake up and see reality. It gets me so angry when people like you feel the need to defend all things black and white and call and criticise those who don't agree with you.
If your using last season's positions as an example then you cannot exclude our last season's form just because it doesn't fit with your IAKOW mantra. We caught Huddersfield cold, put up a valiant effort against Warrington got beaten by Salford capitulated in spectacular fashion against Leeds and were just beaten by a poor Wigan team that have only won 2 games and one of our tries was from their mistake making the result closer then it should have been. Incase you haven't noticed and you won't have behind your black and white specs it was the same old story last season.
We've supposedly used our cap more wisely this year got in 2 New half backs but yet are still gash and currently bottom of the league. That's why people are cheesed off as their is no progress no improvement just the same old bull poo and spin.

All I can say is, well said that man and you are not alone
IAKOW is not a mantra, its being used by the club and there cohorts to beat those who challenge them
Fickle ................. say some
Blindly following behind a leader can leave you right in the mire , just ask Chemical Ali
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.;

Yes, because it's that simple, isn't it. Catalan spend more than anyone, surely they're shoe-ins for the title by your logic?

Thanks for the advice, but don't get angry, in life people generally disagree. I've been critical of the team this year, but because I don't play to the galleries like others and slate every aspect of the club I 'defend all things black and white'? I think it's you that needs to wake up.

Ah, the negative outlook, I prefer to see things differently.

So it was an instant fix you were after? Sorry, but we're not going to see massive improvement in 5 games. There has however been slight improvements. Our HB play is generally a lot better than it has been for years. We do though struggle with a chronic lack of pace out wide and an inability of our 2nd rowers to ball handle.
