The youngsters in that second half were so committed to not losing and how refreshing that is after the last few years. I think we'll improve but I won't get carried away however I don't think we will be on our own in the struggling stakes this season, as I'd be more worried at present if I sere Cas fan or particularly a Huddersfield fan. The latter were shocking today against Featherstone and have now lost to two Championship clubs in pre season. Our major strength has to be our youth and the work Adam instigated four years ago with regard to the development of our youth structure could well start to pay big dividends this year.
Echo this from Wilf.
Have noticed that virtually every poster on here is very realistic about what the coming months are likely to bring for the faithful. We are all very aware (too aware by far!!) of the errors which have been made in the past and the amount of hard work that is going to be needed to rectify those errors, but there is unquestionably the feeling that the work to turn around this great club has already started in earnest.
As Wilf says, all we are looking for is passion, commitment and endeavour, if we can continue to see those attributes each week we will be walking in the right direction once again (even if it's not exactly a full-bloodied march to the summit just yet!!). I'm also hoping to see more than three wins in the coming year! it surely cannot be as draining as 2024 was, even our patience (sorely tested to the maximum last year) has its outer limits!!
As Chris 71 said earlier, no one is likely to be getting too giddy just yet, but let's hope we can continue to see positive signs of recover as the year unfolds, that really is what most of us are asking for in 2025.
