This is the shining diamond in what must look like a massive bucket of sloppy turd at the moment. Very prominsing sign that your SL campaign next year is going to be well supported. They can't take that away from you. Widnes and Castleford can hold their heads high as both had strong attendance showings whilst playing in the bum-hole end of Rugby League.

Don't understand why he was awarded a SL deal so prematurely before even proving himself in the championship.I suppose the logic was so he could build his own squad and prepare with plenty of time but would we really be in a worse position now if we still hadn't decided on the coach for next year?Cas only appointed Millward recently and HKR are still undecided.

Pepe may be right , im sure Dennis will be the first one to admit it isnt alwayseasy to get the recipe right , you must however continue to turn up and show thisneeds to be put right before the rot sets in ,however im sure Mr Connor will no doubt have his own ideas on the subject which will mean all you at the Stobarts mustbeready to show solidarity .

You've just gotta wipe the past six years from memory. The future is about to unfold. I know it's horrible watching your team being put through the mangle - we've all been there and whilst we all take the pizz and have a bit of banter i know what it's like to be a frustrated fan. Something better is around the corner and your bus driver is Steve O'Connor - looks like a pretty good journey to be embarking on.

All aboooooooard .....................tickets please

It's more like Steve O'Connor is a rally car driver and is being navigated round the course by Stevie Wonder. The only thing he's got wrong is the coaching appointments. Bringing back Steve Mac, then Cullen and then Betts. Not one of them has worked out. The team this year have been garbage - even our victories have been narrow ones over teams that others put 50 or 60 on. We got plenty of people turning up, but they've been served up regular homages to the God of Drivel. Change is needed in the coaching set up and fast, so that someone can sort it out before next year.

Excellent team, well coached.What is it,4 defeats in the last two seasons so far, or something like that.I think they went undefeated away from home in the league last year.Great club,great team and great coach.Hat's off to them,I hope they qualify for the Grand Final and win it and make a successful bid for SL in 2015.

Really don't know what conclusions to draw ? , is it the surreal situation you as a club has found yourself in , being the first genuine Franchisee , you are breaking new ground , new problems , new challenges , it's S..T at the moment , but it'll get better

Was pretty shocked to be honest when he got the job to be honest chris, Millward would have been ideal for us or Noble we will be the laughing stock next year players in players out just like our superleague experiance under Happy Frank
