Listening on the radio it didn't sound so bad because we got Micks rose tinted version but christ on a bike it was bad.
Overall its a better year than you would have expected, fluked 3rd, Keighley got relegated, Fev fell at the last hurdle and Fax missed the Playoff's but we need 5 or 6 SL quality players next year, as achieving top 3 again will be a bigger task with a full time Wakefield in the MIX.
IMHO we don't stand a chance until we can fund a competitive full time squad.
If we had won Saturday, then next week... We wouldn't have had a team to play next year as they are all part time for a reason.
The only way to do it is like Leigh did, build a SL quality outfit then go to SL.
Not get promoted then think $hit what do we do now?

All ifs and buts i know but it just shows what a disgrace dr and short term loans are and how they make a mockery of the lower leagues.

That's half the reason we got embarrassed at Keighley.
Sounds nice in theory but the reality is it doesn't work.
