Do you think it's simply a coincidence that the 4 clubs that have a stranglehold on the Super League GFs over the last few years are the same ones who file full accounts? I don't.

It's not a coincidence but money isn't the only factor. There are many more variables, the value you get from your playing roster when you're spending full cap and the coaching being two key variables. I don't believe there are 4 other teams this season which have a better squad than us, I do think there are 4 teams which have better coaching than us though.

Eeerrrrrrmmmm sorry but Wire have only just joined the party. I think FC have a comparable history in Super League.

4 GF appearances in the last 7 years, I don't think we're quite there yet.

Mrs B
with respect none of us are interested in whether four clubs file full accounts and we dont.
Radford out is the subject and more and more posters on here seem to be getting the message.
We can see on the field the limitations of this coach and its obvious now to most that Radford should be replaced as the coaching is Stale.
To see the same limitations week after week without any sign of improvement for me indicates he should go

Well said . And judging by the opinion of other fans around me in the east stand last night, they agree.
I am sick of , “ but we won 2 Challenge Cups”.
We will not kick on , with Radford in charge.
The worrying thing is , our Club in general, has a very shallow hierarchy with no knowledge,or influence, within the game .
Our owner is a football man , who is being conned by a pub style Coach .
Wake up Adam ! You had no qualms sacking football managers .
Time for some fresh impetus. Radford’s time is done.

I agree there are other factors. But as said at the start of the season our pack was a concern for many including me before a ball was kicked hence low levels of expectation (9th/8th by most pundits). I actually think Wakefield's squad is better than ours this year in the forwards, but they've not been able to field a fit side for months. Of course, as it stands, there are only 4 teams above us (3 of these only on points difference), despite a substandard pack, missing Kelly for weeks on end and starting the season on a losing streak of 11 with a load of injuries. I have no doubt there are better coaches around than Radford - he's one of the youngest after all - but I also think when we play really well, which we have sometimes this year, he doesn't get any credit.

Will be good to see how Lee goes in 2020 with his newly updated reinvigorated squad.
I think theres a very good chance he could be leading the side out at OT.
Hope so anyway.

Well, with 2 rounds to go and not playing to our full potential currently we're joint 3rd at worst. Who knows? Looking forward to welcoming Fonua, Jones and Ma'u anyway.

What sort of supporter deliberately tries to suppress fans expectations of success?

What sort of fan deliberately tries to suppress fans frustrations at how poorly their team has been playing?

Mrs Barista is that kind of supporter - aka the enemy to positive expectation
