We have a massive challenge - the season after each good season we have struggled. Can we break that cycle?

Yes thats what I was saying TRB.
We tend to struggle putting two play off seasons together.
Having said that, under Kear, I think we finished 7th,7th and 5th is successive seasons. Unfortunately back then it was top 6 that got in the play offs.

If we sort the defence out for the forthcoming season then we can have another good season. The defence last season was shocking and cost us dearly. |

DEFENCE, DEFENCE, DEFENCE is the mantra they should chant for ten minutes before every training session and game. Defence and the points conceded were an embarrassment that marred an otherwise good season last year.

Too true.
The defence is the key.
Even in other sports, such as football.
Didn't Arsenal build from the back when they started to become successful, and also Manchester United.
If you don't concede points. then you are giving yourselves a chance

That's all very true, but Kear was the head coach back then, he's not actually fulfilling the same role this time around is he? |

I didn't state he was. It was reference how we have a good season and fail to follow up on that the next season. |

I can't see us being any different to any other season.
We'll have some good surprising wins and we'll have some disappointing days too.
The target for me should be to be in the 8, probably 8th and compete well enough that we have a chance of winning a game. Target win at least one game in the 8.
I'd be still happy if we are in the middle 8 but win all our games.
A bad season for me would be the middle 8 and not winning enough games, so risking the playoff game.

Correct PT, there are another 3 or 4 teams on there who you could also make 200/1 because in reality they have very little chance of winning the GF.
I think Shudds and Widnes will be the bottom 2. |

The 2010 season, before he left, Kear's playing budget was about £12 due to impending disaster so, perhaps this should be removed from his stats 
It's going to be interesting to see what difference it makes, having JK upstairs and concentrating on the management stuff.
You cant help thinking that he will want to have a bit more involvement ? |
