I will gladly admit that I said come the end of the season I would not be too fussed to see PA go.

Fair doo's though, he's turned it around since then.

However if we make top 4 then lose in the knockout stage, can this be seen as an improvement?

It would probably suggest that he cannot take us any further.

If we go on and win it then obviously he is God.

Peoples perception of whether we have done well goes on their expectations. If you think we should be finishing 6th to 8th but finish 4th then yes we have had a good year.

However if you expect top 2 and a grand final appearance but we finish 4th and get knocked out in the semis it's being a bad year.

We often think or dream with our hearts not our heads when it comes to our team and this can cloud reality.

One of my main arguments were not giving the youngsters an opportunity and at times showing no fight or spirit.

Since then we have seen plenty of youth given an opportunity and spirit like the other night. A game we would have lost a few months ago.

All in all I'm happy with where we are now and will back the coach and players all the way.

Aren't they both England youth internationals? I'd be surprised if they weren't retained.

Dickinson is on loan at halifax as part of his development, think we will keep him

Dickinson is at Keighley.

not far away

Imo, i think your nailed on third, Saints have gone and cas to finish fourth. Giants to do a HKR and get to the final...
