Wembley has gone.Great while it lasted esp over Saints but if Wire are only going turn up for the big games it’s not much an incentive for season ticket sales.To simply shut up shop after Wembley is taking the p$ss out of the supporters when it’s costing £50 per match,prob more away with pre match drinks and other expenses.No point in showing passion once every 10 games.As some on here have already said without them early season wins we’d have been right in the mire.Not good enough.

Put yourself in Karl Fitzpatrick position at the start of the season...(scenario)
'Hi Steve...please take a seat.
I going to give it to you straight...I've got 2 bosses here and they are both telling me to win the Grand Final first and formost, but they also want us to win the Challenge Cup. They've pumped £m's into our club....You've everthing at your disposal...that includes league games...I don't care how we look to do it....just do it....oh close the door your way out will you?'

The terraces will be pretty empty if us fans target the same 3 or 4 games where the effort is put in.
I find it hard to believe that a team that saw the writing on the wall when Salford were still a poor team yet beat us at Easter , & haven't found an improvement to speak of in the last 5 months, except the CC.

Duckie I doubted you regarding your confidence on us winning Wembley but if your GF prediction is correct you should be named Saint Duckie.We’ll be playing top of the table teams not an out of form Wigan,a lowly Hull KR team and a enigmatic Hull side on our route to Wembley.

....'oh and one more thing Steve'...
'What's that Mr F?'
'My bosses are very cocksure...they want you to do it from 4th just for comedy value as we know no club outside to top 2 in a 5 playoff system has ever won it.'
'OK Mr F'

BTW...I would never be a Saint or a Pie.

Well you know what they say about if you are only going to win one game all season, make it against the Saints. For Wire fans its their cup final.

And we wonder why other fans take the mick with the ‘always your year’ chant?! Most of us said the same after last year, after his first year to settle in, his own full off-season of recruitment. How many byes do you give before you make the final judgement?

we just won the cup, lol

That isn't a finale...
Isn't losing to play an easier run in...actually winning when you win the cup. Collateral damage for the greater cause of not losing a game this season...that really matters.

Yes and it was great, but it’s in the past and it also barely covers up a woeful few months’ form in Super League.
