Wembley is the one for me, we've a good chance this year as on our day we can beat any team, I see Leeds as the team we struggle with & their out, Radders wants the lot even though he's taking it a game at a time, but he's an eye on silverware, he said he won't be happy till the cabinets filling up.

We never know pal eh? We just enjoy the better rugby for now, see if we can gather momentum, it's if we hit a bad patch. Injuries or results it's how we recover.

Nice atmosphere around the club at the moment.
Our league position is most pleasing. The players are all playing forces bother and the team spirit is fantastic. Lee Radford has proved all his doubters wrong ( and I was one of them).
The future stability of the staff and squad are already place for next season and beyond.
The fans are also keeping the season in perspective, with hope continuing ahead of expectation. We are maintaining a focus on the next game only mentality. Each week will continue to be a challenge, but one we are now capable of rising to and competing with.
The way I look at it, if we were offered top 4 at the start of the season, we'd have jumped at the chance. The aim still has to be cementing that top 4 place for the super eights, but as this run goes on and on, the prospect of doing even better than that becomes real. The league seems very open this year, every team is beating each other, and there's not really a stand out team in the league as of yet.
The form and consistency we are showing gives us the perfect opportunity to be one of the frontrunners not only for the League Leaders Shield, but the Grand Final and the Cup too.
I'm torn on what I would prefer. The Cup has the history and significance about it, but the Grand Final has the prestige and status in terms of a season-long effort. It's nice to be in this position for once though!!!

For me I think a Wembley appearance and win would transform the club massively by getting rid of that monkey on our backs.
Top 4 was the aim and that should still be the case, anything more is a bonus and something to continue to build on and enjoy the moments so far. Looking at the top 4 currently and over the last few rounds there has been no more than 2-4 pts in it so as long as remain within the fight until the Super 8's we have a great chance.
As Radford has said they are just using the old cliche of taking it one game at a time and creadit to him and the coaching staff and players for at last for having a better mental attitude to achieve success this season.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!
