For all that no defeats would be impressive, it really doesn't matter anymore in the grand scheme of things. Top 4 is all that counts.

Big Willie great signing, I've said it before I'll say it again we will not lose a game this year in the league

I'm not sure about that, Odsal is a difficult enough place to go in the best of conditions never mind in February. Honestly I think it might be better if we didn't win every game, people talk about how the Challenge Cup run took it out of us but I don't buy that, it was only a couple of games months before the Super 8s started. I think the record breaking winning streak did it, wanting to break records and win every game became the focus of the season not winning promotion. Meant we were perhaps less willing to rotate players as insignificant games became very important to us as we didn't want to break the winning streak.

Will be interesting to see how things are "managed" this season.

No new signing coming in now, Mr Chan has decided to retire. We go with what we've got for next season.

I'm not disapointed in the slightest, really dont see the need to of brought chan in, if we needed another forward we could of kept sarsfield or haggerty, another utility back would if any money left been my preference. Says in le we're still looking. Guess if rowley spots somebody we may go for them, or keave it til later in the season.
