You finished 2nd, well done. You should have walked the league and you know it. Fact of the matter is, your backside is twitching as there is a chance you are not going to make the final and you will just two attempts to tick one of those elusive boxes!!

we need a stand off for next year

we have Makkali Aizue on the way

luke Branaghan could be on the way as well.

we should have won the league with the position we were in a month to 6 weeks ago.

i am nervous i am really nervous mainly about yourselves Widnes.

if we meet before the final. we know to see a pact North Stand and that makes me nervous. plus your a talented side. plus thackery is playing better than any other back in either of our 2 sides.

i am nervous, which is why i am praying we dont need to face you till the final.

Anyone who thinks we've a chance of a licence ahead of Widnes and Toulouse must have a head full of monkey spunk. It plays no part in my thinking at all. All i'm interested in is a good game of Rugby League, not box ticking.

Perhaps you'd think differently if you thought Halifax had a real chance of a licence in 2012, and all you had to do was tick a box?

I don't sell my principles. Quality rugby league on the pitch is all i'm concerned with - what follows off the pitch as a result is in the hands of the RFL. I stopped playing top trumps when i was eleven.

It's true. So true. In the quest for the holy grail, you've lost sight of what the game is all about.

I like it here, from my lofty perch
