getting the excuses in early I see

I think the poster was pointing out that our 2 h/backs will be missing, this is not an excuse

I can see a lot of posters of various teams coming back to haunt you over the season

As long as we beat the minor teams in the competition like Salford and Harlequims home and away thats probably all we can hope for this season. Catalans arent doing well this season either, hopefully they will still be as bad as they were when Harlequims played them.

Hopefully we will start getting wins against the bigger clubs sooner rather than later though

I reckon 20 points would be a good (yet achieveable) target for you this year.

Teams will say they were very poor against you and i've said elsewhere you lack penetration but your discipline and defence yesterday were top notch. It's frustrating for the opposition when they cant be piggybacked up the field on numerous occasions

I'm delighted with the result against Hull FC, I really didnt think we would win that one.

Reinforces my point that we should be guaranteed home and away wins against the likes of Harlequims and Salford if we can beat good teams like FC

Quins arent as weak as you'd believe.
by no means good but theyve had preparation as bad as you and a lot of early injuries. you've a chance of picking 2 maybe 4 points up but they aren't bankers. Can the Crusaders back up week after week? im not sure

I have always considered the Quins to be complete and total 'bankers'
