I would have thought our back to back championships 1983/4 and 1984/5 surpasses your back to back cup wins,dont you.

If you feel you can take a small victory from that, you're welcome to it. We've won more Championships & 5 times as many challenge cups. I'll take that.

We should aim for top 8 at least Wakefield did it with ease without spending a fortune and cas won the league at a canter both teams with just good solid squads

And with a coach who apparently was not good enough for you.

Good to see a sensible thread dragged into the gutter by the neighbours, it's another way of saying we are back.

Top 8, nothing else to say.

It's like saying Daryl Powell wasn't good enough for Leeds,Wakefield is obviously a good fit for Chester he wasn't for us end of

The same old pissants turn up to try and pull us down.Ive just re watched the Widnes game and Shaws try is a thing of beauty.The fruitcake saying we need 10 players is deluded.Cas and Wakey have shown team spirit and no prima Donna can take you a fair way.In the past we've had big salary big reputation bad attitude types aplenty. This time it feels different and the mixture of young and old,the real team spirit is evident and from fans to the board we are all wiser for what went on.Mcguire signing looks inspired and a few more good signings and we will be competitive.Top 2 aside this year little separated the teams on league ladder.Think we foremost aim to avoid the bottom 4 and go from there.No bold forecasts,consolidation is fine in the circumstances but it's not a huge jump from mid table to top 4 and a 3 and a half game cup win

Not keen on the Tommy Lee story the Mail are running.Will do a job and is steady enough but we've got plenty of that . ZDC I feel will be a very good player but have we the time to see him realise it with us and it's his quota spot that makes him a bit of a luxury as a fringe player?

Sure someone posted about the tommy lee thing on here but got blown out the water by all the know it all experts??
