Considering we overcame 3 other SL teams to reach the challenge cup final with 2 extremely difficult fixtures away from the KC to boot, who is to say we can not win 2 or 3 more fixtures of the same ilk during the play-offs??

Therefore I will reserve my judgement on the success of our season until the FULL season is in fact completed. I wonder how Leeds fans considered their season to be this time last year when finishing a pathetic 5th (and level on points with a small team like Hull) after the regular season?? They also went into the play-offs on the back of a challenge cup final defeat.

Already, before the play-offs commences compared to last season we have achieved parity with regard to the finishing position in the league table and progressed much further in the only other competition there is. That for me goes down as progress regardless of what we end up doing in the play-offs. I also hope that the young players that have come through this season continue to develop and show improvements next season along with the likes of Jacob Miller and Daniel Holdsworth, who's partnership is still relatively fresh. A couple of new players are required I agree but small steps with steady improvement is preferable to me than wholesale changes throughout the team and coaching staff and having to start from scratch AGAIN!!

The chances are in a salary capped competition we'd never dominate or be near dominating. Deal with it or off.

No wonder it always takes so long to get served in maccy D's

I disagree with posters who consider we have progressed we have not imo. It was brilliant getting to Wembley however it left a bitter taste getting nilled and I am not sure many teams could achieve that!
Defensively Gentle has improved us without a doubt however like mentioned our attack is pretty dire, I also question our recruitment, Arundle is ok but a 4 yr deal! hardly top drawer material. I am also disappointed in Ellis tbh maybe a handful of decent games and that's about it! Galea etc well enough said there.
For me I am frustrated with our lack of consistency, one week we can beat any-one then for the next 3 any-one can beat us, I simply do not know how Gentle can turn this around, it's his team & his players and it is disappointing to actually finish on less points this year.
However I would not be surprised to finish well in the play-offs as this guy has proved he can do well with trap door rugby, however nor would I be surprised to be knocked out on Friday, there is simply no consistency with the team.

Re our defence, we only conceded 6 more points in 2011 than 2013 and scored 66 more. We did get one competition point less and finished 2 place lower

the siginng of galea summed up gentle for me...desparado.... and utter tosh

Well (like yourself) maybe all these people also listen to, and draw their conclusions from GL on Radio Humberside.

If it depresses you, then just turn the radio off!

Our there all drama queens.

Thats the first time i've heard booing since the Agar days.A lot of fans are getting restless and dont see everything through black and white tinted specs

There was booing at half time think it was the Wakefield game with a poor first half display

Cant say I heard booing at half time during the wakey game we were only 16-10 down.Dont even recall anyone booing on Good friday either or the mumblings of discontent I heard on friday night.

Only other game can think of was Rovers on Good Friday then. Either was though it wasn't as loud as last Friday which as you say was the worse for years.

I Wish I had a pound for everytime some silly tw@ comes on radio and says "I've been watching Hull for X years this is the worst etc, etc." we finished 6th in SL and got to Wembley. Yes we all want the best and I get upset by some perfomances but come on, it's like the 90's never happend for some.

Some people have been watching us for so long their memories have faded

You're right IMO. Something snapped. My mates left early, something that never happens. I wanted to clap o meley, but just couldn't then muster the energy to stay after the hooter and did one.

I am not sure what the 90s have to do with anything tbh, that was 20 yrs ago, since then we have built a club and as fans we have stood by hoping to become a top four clubs, we are a faithful lot but the same te different season can only last so long before something gives especially in the present financial climate. We have not improved in our finishing position or points & tbh I am still in shock that we actually managed to get nilled at Wembley that performance is not the mark of a top 4 team in fact it is not the performance of a top 8 team.
People have a right to air their concerns & grievances, maybe some are more articulate than others but hey ho the colour of their money is just the same, people put a lot of their hard earned cash into this club.

the 90s was different, the club had no cash, the Boulevard was crumbling, the players were left wondering if their wages would be paid at the end of each month...no wonder we struggled.

today's team have the ground, financial resources and playing talent to be doing much better than they are.

I count FOUR good performances this season. Two against Wire, one against Leeds the Widnes drubbing. The rest they have been average to poor. If you lot are happy with that then this club will never achieve anything as mediocrity seems to be more than acceptable

Wigan at home, Cas at home.

Rovers away.

Then you've not been to many games this season.

Or you can't count.

It's poor radio reception that's done it.

Both.

Catalans away in the cup?
