But when we do get beaten, which we probably will, you'll probably drag up something you posted where you said we would get beat, and still post 'I told you so'

100% guaranteed.

We won't go the full season unbeaten.

Given those fixtures we might break our last SL unbeaten run which would be a great achievement.

However this thread is just asking to be bumped if we lose. You can bet that it's being monitored and logged by some Wigan fans that will bump this up saying "this is why everyone hates Wire fans they are so arrogant."

I more amazed that we have gone on this run. I recall many Warrington fans stating how the apocalypse was nigh after the opening round.

Some numpty always feels compelled to write one of these posts before the fact.

Cue Londons first win against the odds and an RLFANS wide derision.

I was saying the apocalypse was nigh well before the opening round!

Well I'm not going to write one asking the question after the fact am I?

Its a simple question on whether anyone thinks we will beat our record. Nothing arrogant in that. Not saying we will, nor that we won't.

This board has gone to the dogs because of utter downers like you. Bringing your negativity down on the parade.

So we lose, and people try to rib me for it, oh no, think I jump off a bridge.

This board hasn't gone to Dogs & Yed is not a negative poster.
A few years ago the board was poor with trolls aplenty & a fair number of poor posts & topics.

Not being a downer (if you noticed I even stopped posting about Asotasi) but what these kind of posts do, is they tend attract trolls and other lets say other less desirable posters.

This board full of trolls brings this board down, I'm not going to be all dictorial and stop people posting topics i diagree with, like you I have an opinion and unlike you it is me that tidies it up when it goes silly.

Post whatever you like within the AUP I'm cool with anything but don't get upset if I have an opinion on it that differs from your own.

My take on the season -
We started out in a disjointed fashion and it looked like we'd lost too many core players, with Briers being the unexpected one and the one that gave me the most concern
We lost a few and deservedly so, and many on here were very concerned (and I would go so far as to say 'panicking' with talk about not reaching the top eight), we have improved and some of the combinations have started to work and some of the lesser players finding their feet (like England, Laithwaite, Ormsby, Russell).
Bridge moving to the halves added some steel (although I still think he holds the ball too much).
Confidence has grown and we've had a run against teams that are (mainly) not in the top eight.
Players out with injury will start to return but it'll take a few weeks for them to return to match fitness.

But - fundamentally - the run-in is horrible.
We play all the top sides week after week - with the CC in the mix as well and then (hopefully) reach the play offs where we have to play the top sides again. And on top of that there's the pressure of keeping the longest winning streak we've had in SL going.
We're simply not good enough or strong enough to win all of that lot - no side is. That's why there's only 2 points separating the top 5.

So it's a matter of how we react when things start to go against us.

Will we win silverware this year?
Possibly but for me not 'probably' just yet.
