Why should they have had more?

You cannot point to exits in the play offs and say they should have had more.

There. At least those clowns are educated. Unlike you.

How do you know that Mr Clown (there you are using a capital letter for a name)? Answers on a postage stamp please. I await with interest your response.

It isn't. It is because of a certain clown who spends his days reading the forums and then screenshotting conversations and posting them on Twitter. Nothing to do with cost or any revamp. The site is working fine.

The admin posted that it was an issue with them losing their security license so the website was showing up as not secure (it did indeed do that for me for a little bit)

Would be a bit weird to do all that just because of someone posting posts on twitter lol. It’s a public forum

Eh, 2017 we spent half the year stinking up the joint with KC, Holbrook took over and took us from about 8th to 3rd (I think) and we lost in golden point to a Cas team that had won the LLS in scintillating fashion. Would be harsh to include that as one we should have won. We did completely collapse at the end of 2018 and limped out of the play offs to a fairly poor Wire team though, as well as losing to Catalan in the CC semi which we should have been winning as they were far from the team they are now.

Though you could also argue that we should have at least been getting to the GF and CC final last year.

You lost to better teams last year,no argument there.

I was going off his comments based on the expectation going in. We should have been beating Leigh and realistically dominated the game and should have been winning it with how it went on the day, but we didn't. I never really expected to beat Catalan away in the play-offs and that was the 1 fixture I was dying for us to avoid so I'd agree we weren't really expected to win that one. As we were favourites to win the GF all year though, you'd have to say that it also fits his criteria.

I didnt know you were favourites all year.
Didnt Leigh win the CC so I wouldnt think that you had the right or the arrogance to think you should win.
Do you think you will win the GF this year ?

I feel like, either genuinely or willfully, you are completely misinterpreting the posts I'm making. His comment was 4 in a row was impressive, but when you look at the reign we should have had more. That's what I was responding to, based on criteria that he'd set. I was disagreeing that you could count 2017 as we were absolute dogshit for more than half of that year, and were never really expected to do anything. Then as a counterpoint, said perhaps you could include last year in that instead.

Yes, we were favourites with the bookies to win the GF all year, even up to the Catalan match kicking off iirc, but very much until the last day of the regular season at the very least.

Im not really sure why you're acting as though me saying we should have beat Leigh is a controversial statement, but then it looks like you've set out just to argue for the sake of it

I did not set out to argue for the sake of it.
My saying that about Leigh was because they had won the CC and could not be took likely of which you did,reminds me those years ago when you was drawn with Cats and your lot cheered,didnt turn out as planned.How do you think you will do this season ?
