It's definitely better than last year and we're certainly in.a better position squad wise.



One thing that's similar to almost every year is us losing games were expected to win comfortably, and a period of poor form. I know injuries play their part but I cannot help but feel we've squandered our fantastic start. But onwards and upwards!! We can still go on a good run and build momentum and confidence going into the super8s n playoffs.



With a pinch of luck some self belief and top draw performances we can still win all the bits of silver this year.

The treble is still up for grabs and is still achievable for the Wolves,Hull FC and Wigan



On your day both the Wolves and Hull FC are fantastic and can rack up a big number on any side in SL

But when your both off you can lose matches that should be your bread and butter wins and the ones that stack up the league points



Wolves have lost games/Points in the last 8 rounds against sides that they should have picked up wins in at:

Wildcats (A)

Tigers (H)

Hull FC(H)

and drew away at Hull KR

IMO Wolves should have won each of these games and if they had of done they would have amassed a further 7 points



In the meantime Wigan have been steady away and haven't broken any pots thus far this season but the worrying thing for you guys is that we know how to win these winnable games,Wigan had a recent run of 6 consecutive away games and won them all

Wigan's last away defeat was against Warrington & their last home defeat was against Hull. The only game they have looked very good was against Catalan.

Why are we looking towards next season when this one is just starting to get serious? And a trophyless season for this group of player will not be a success. The pessimist in me thinks hull are nailed on for the cup and wigan will pip us to the big one. And then we'll all start talking about next year and have the mickey rightfully taken out of us by opposing fans. Let's get the bloody grand final won and get the monkey off our back.

Is this the same Wakefield team that beat you 62-0? I agree that in some of those games we should have done better and didn't - you might notice a theme on this board of being disappointed even when we win - but I think you might need to check your bias if you're going to make judgements like that

We have proven that we can blow wigan away and also grind out a win against them my only worry is hull and ourselves.

Let's not forget the circumstances in our last gf I would hardly say wigans big game experience won it!!

You’re absolutely right, there’s no reason we can’t win 2 trophies this season!

I'm hopeful we can improve again next year but I'm also hopeful we can win 1 or maybe 2 trophies this year. We're definitely in the hunt, we need key players as fresh as possible so wrapping up a top 4 finish as quickly as possible will be key then who knows.

and then again I'm of the opinion that there's nothing wrong with a thread on next season now, a half term report so to speak. Have we improved on last year, which areas do we still need to improve, or get cover for if people are moving on is valid whether we win n'ewt or the treble....just ask the Leeds Club

i like them.... lets focus on what is good and how we can improve things.



madness that people want rid of Jack Hughes though..... have a word.



Also, we have Cooper Cronk signing next season as well

I can't recall who said Hughes out and I'm not for trawling back, but, agree MD it was a bit off piste for me. Hughes Currie and Westerman is a decent back row who have the potential to be really top drawer. It's just a pity they are all getting on a bit....
