Hard to get excited when the club gave up on this season several weeks ago and Fev last week killed it for me.
We all know we may get a win first playoff then get a tonking.Sad that as a club we can no longer compete at the second level of RL.Hopefully this will change for next year and the initial steps are encouraging.

I really don’t understand your negativity. We are going to finish in the play offs and hopefully in 3rd or 4th spot. Before the season had started if you had been told we would finish 3 I bet you would have been happy with that. I agree that If/when
we play Fev or Toulouse we will (more than likely) lose and it might be by a big margin but those two squad are well ahead of the game in the championship. I feel it’s been a good season for our new Panthers. We could finish 3rd we won 9 games in the bounce crowds have been OK considering what’s going on with Covid. I think we have given a good showing this season. Nothing is ever perfect in Sport and the club have been managing it with less money (as always). I think there are a lot of positives to be taken from the season.

That another thing, I thought the rebrand was done really well but after that its all been a bit poor. I mean we don't even get injury news anymore and fan engagement seems at an all time low.

Accepting even lauding mediocrity is what’s got this club where it is now.No I’m not satisfied with third place in a league that only has two decent teams.The very minimum requirement to me was that we would have a competitive chance of promotion come the business end and that clearly isn’t the case.

What's got us where we are is poor attendances and the lack of a big money backer - in the light of this I fully agree wirh an earlier comment that 3rd/4th finish this year would be a good achievement- I'm sure clubs like Bradford, Widnes, London and York who were all forecast to finish above us would happily swap places. I'm frustrated when people talk about a lack of ambition at the club , while all supporters want the best for their club, without the necessary finances directors have to be realistic - like most on here was really pleased with the squad put together this year - if you compare it to Toulouse and Featherstone though it was way off them in quality and numbers.

Re: Whitehaven : Fri Sep 10, 2021 2:15 pm  
I'm with BJ on this one. Lack of ambition/mediocrity is only going to lead in one direction. Before the season started i had us down for 4th behind the current top two and Widnes, with hopefully a good cup run in one of the two competitions. We may yet achieve 3rd place but have we had a result where we thought wow that was a great win? Accepting a season like this and not allowing owt to be said against our club has indeed got us where we are now. Having said all that perhaps this is the one season ever where just staying afloat is acceptable. There are worse things going on out there after all. Promotion this year will almost inevitably lead to relegation the next, especially if SL goes to two divisions of ten. Onto next year though and we really must have a change in attitude from the club. I'll be there whatever but to gain those lost/new supporters we really need to kick on, on and off the field. Here's hoping. Up The Fax. :thumb:

Re: Whitehaven : Fri Sep 10, 2021 2:46 pm  
We used to get monthly updates from different board members how long as it been since we last heard one of those that would be a good place to start. Just to give us fans a heads up on what's going on behind the scenes. We were supposed to be announcing some new members to the board this was months ago they said we should hear something in a matter of weeks but so far nothing. Communication and social media presence is everything these days we don't do bad when it comes to promoting gameday. But more of a idea about the clubs ambitions and how to achieve these and if the fans can help with this we need to hear more about. If any of the board read these forums by all means ram all the information you can down our throats its how you keep fans engaged and hopefully attract new ones.

The board member that was a great link between club and supporters has recently left his position sadly.

Yes it is a sad state of affairs when one person leaving however good they are and you go from pretty good communication to none existent. Just out of interest how many on here are going on sunday i was hoping to make a weekend of it but due to a change in circumstances i will have to go just for the match know hopefully we put in a performance to make it worthwhile.

Another totally meaningless squad announcement suggesting the entire squad with the exception of Sion Jones is fit and raring to go!

Just read an article on the envisaged central funding reductions for next year. Maybe our last ceo who worked for free saw the writing on the wall? Just how does the clubs finances paying near on 5k a month rent and no club bar work with reduced central funding . Is it mission impossible ? The numbers coming through the gates just wont pay the Bill's these days . To be fair the team has played on the whole better than I expected . The rebranding was only ever going to work with constant development to capture the audience ie like the bulls way back
