Not bothered about top eight I'll take it or leave it but as long as we're competing in the rest of our games then I'll be happy. Said at start of season to my mates it could be possible to finish bottom and be only 4-6 points off 8th. That won't be the case now but id be happy now with anything from 10th upwards. If we get in the 8 we won't get to the final but we can have a good go and enjoy ourselves trying

I concur; let's not create unrealistic expectations, then thrash Agar and the team when they don't deliver them.

Things have improved, that'll do for me.

No not lying down I'd love us to win every game and win the grand final but I'm a realist. As long as we give it to em in every game and make teams work for their points then I'll be happy.

I'm a realist too and we did have a chance with the players we have,
its just taken some time for them to realise it

we will look back on this season and see where we could of done better that's a fact
just great to hear Belle Vue rocking again

Definitely great to see bv like that. As for this season it was always going to take time with some ups and downs along the way.

Without a doubt!

I took my son and 3 of his team-mates from Sandal Spartans to the game yesterday - to be able to watch a group of young lads jumping up and down and cheering on (in their words) an 'epic win,' was a real pleasure.

Long may it continue.

We need to go to Headingley in the right frame of mind. If we respect the ball and stick to a gameplan, be patient and a bit more disciplined then I'd have us down as favourites to win.

People may think that's a crazy statement, but when we went there in the cup (a game that really mattered) I thought the game was a lot closer than the final scoreline suggested. I believe we are now playing much better than that and Leeds are playing worse. If we can be within touching distance coming into the last 20 mins or so then I think our confidence and fitness levels should see us home. With the amount of Leeds players involved in the Exiles game, then surely we should be the fresher in the final quarter....providing we play the first hour in the correct way. We MUST go there expecting to play the Champions at their best though and nothing less.....

If we do manage a win and make it 4 on the spin then who knows where we will go.....there's a real tough period coming up just after that though and then a bit of an 'easier' run in.....something to look forward to for sure....

Just want the club as a whole to develop and the team to give 100% in every game. I think we're getting that now, we've come a long way in a short period of time. The NM announcement will really set us away. Exciting times ahead I think!

At the start of the season my forecast was to finish 10th and I'd be very happy if that's where we finish. It will be progress from last seasons 13th finish and that's what we want to see, steady season on season progress. Next season a finish in 8th would confirm that progress and I would be delighted.

Remember Andrew Glover said he aspired to be as good as Warrington when they topped the league and that it would take around 10 years. Some of us older ones wish he could get a spirt on with it but remember Rome wasn't built in a day

Yeah, I feel that if we perform like we did for the first period of the match, we could get stung by an angry Rhinos outfit, and I don't think they will be open to letting us score 22 unanswered points at Headingley either. But by the same token, Headingley isn't so much of a fortress this year so if we play well and complete our sets, then there is no reason we can't sneak a win.

Wakefield, one game at a time and continue to play with belief.

In terms of progress, I make our average attendance 7,941 now.

With 4 home games left, Wigan, Leeds, Sts and Widnes we are looking good. I hope we can get it over an 8,000 average. That would be a massive achievement
