I am level head enough to realise we will not win every game. When a defeat does come I really hope there is not a knee jerk reaction.
I am wary that Leeds will turn the corner at some point and that Huddersfield are a good side. These will turn over teams at the top end of the table at some point soon.
The senior players are the one who as a collective are our biggest plus point. I was critical of Leon Pryce recently on here, but in the last two game I personally think he has played extremely well.
Fully agree on Pryce, his experience and reading of the game is invaluable.
For the Michaels try on Friday - we had a move set up, When Pryce got the ball he noticed a Wigan player edge a couple of feet out of the line. Instead of carrying on an executing the planned play, he spots hit, hits the gap, sucks the defenders in and leaves us with the overlap. For the Talanoa try, he saw the Wigan defence wasn't set properly on the blind side and switched play.
He's suffered with a couple of small injuries and takes a few games back to get up to speed it seems, but fully fit he's still pretty decent.

Can see Pryce retiring with Bradford.
I definitely believe we can win something this year, there's no one we can't beat as we've shown but we're far from dominant as that's just the league this year. As for other fans, wonder how long it'll be before we start to poach Leeds glory supporters from the East Riding villages

Of that I am more than aware. My point referred to the fact that we have never won the league that we are now in.
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and proudly proclaiming `Wow, what a ride`
