After the utter dross and humiliation of 2018, what are peoples hopes for 2019. Mine as follows, don't think we will win any silverware or make any finals but if we do its a bonus.
A winning record i.e win more than we lose.
finish at least top 6 ideally make the playoffs
start playing some good rugby good attack with some flair. But more importantly some solid hard working defence
start to see some improvement in under achievers like Singleton Sutcliffe and hopefully a fully fit Ward Ferres
continue quality recruitment early for 2020 not wait until only bargain bucket left. including shipping out under performers and constantly injured player (see above)
start to see the likes of Cameron Smith, Oledski, Newman really push for first team starts
and finally although you could say this any year, see 3-4 other juniors push through and step up to first team level.
Hopefully Finish in top 5 to compete for Grand Final( but I'd take a League finish of 6th-8th place especially after last season, and finish comfortably above teams that you would think be battling not to get relegated such as Salford,London,Hull KR and even Hull FC after how their season ended.
A decent cup run to Semi's or even get to Final with a bit of luck.
For players like L.Sutcliffe, Peteru, Handley and Smith to find their most natural position in the team and to play consistently in that position and if they can't they should be looked at to be moved on.
To continue to recruit Top quality players for the 2020 Season.
For some of 19s to get a chance to show us what they can produce for the future.
And finally produce a lot better brand of rugby than we did last year.

After last year, just enjoying going to games would be a bonus!
I hope we just show a bit more of everything to be honest, I’m perfectly happy not to win anything but I want to see us competing with some structure, flair and hard work.
One thing I am looking forward to is the stadium being finished I think it’s going to be a fabulous place to watch the rugby and having a half built stadium all last year did take a lot away from the gameday/night experience

I hope you do well. Can't see Top 4, possibly sneak 5th. More than likely 6-9th. Love your backline and half backs. Pack looks average for Super League. Gonna need Smith and Mikolaj to step up but probably a bit too soon for them. Buchanan, Ablett, Ferres cant be expected to carry the weight too much.
Wish you well, I hope you win something this season.
