I was just reading that and it's a good article. It's nice to see Hull getting some recognition from the media outside the city and it emphasizes that Agar will have no excuses next year; his tactics, his team I hope everyone gets bhehind him and he can deliver.

I am optomistic about a good season. But top 4 is more likely, I reckon:

Leeds
Warrington
St Helens
Hull

If we finish there, win a playoff game and have a good cup run (semis at least hopefully) then I will be happy.

It's probably the sort of pressure Agar doesn't need next season.

I've always known Martin talks sense. Great Bloke is Mr Offiah.

Lovely man

I like this bit the best

"There are certain teams at the start of a season who confidently say they'll do this or do that but they don't sign anyone to back it up. "

Who could he mean?

Thanks Chariots!

I agree with him to an extent, loking through next years squad and with a bit of good luck we could be right up there!

Our forward pack, both starting and interchanges, is in the top 3 in SL (at the moment). Our back 5 boasts plenty of international experience and two of the brightest prospects in SL. We have the leadership we have missed since Swain/Kearney left in the signings of Long and Fitz, we now have the agression is the form of Hame and Shrek. At halfback, we have the best scrum half of the SL era, which could spark Horney into life.

We have all the ingredients to challenge IMO, let's just hope that the team spirit will come over this off season and hope that we have more luck with injuries.

Are you suggesting that Hodgson, Cook, Ratu and I'Anson are not top two material ??

Well seeing as though the piece is titles "Wigan need more quality" I think it's pretty self explanitory

A professional coach should not really be wrapped in cotton wool and comforted. If he cant thrive and build on the pressure then is he really the right man?

We have already broken ito the top two, it's just a shame that was three years ago and we have have gone a little

backwards since then.

I would be happy to finish in the top 8, but with or squad we should be at least challenging the top 4.

Looking at Warringtons squad and with Tony Smith in charge for the full season I think they will finish 2nd behind Leeds. Saints will still be in the top 4, with us (hopfully), Wigan, Hudds and Rovers fighting for the last position.

If Catalans manage to hold on to Greg Bird, I think they will be a major force next season, possibly knocking on the door of the top 2 spots

Everyone can't be in the top two!

Us, Wigan, Warrington and Catalan should all have much higher places in the SL table next season. Possibly even Bradford, although McBanana will probably need to be sacked.

I expect the make up of the top six or seven teams to be something like this :

Leeds
Wire
Saints
Hull
Cats
Wigan
Hudds

with Dobbins, Bradford and Wakey fighting for 8th spot.

Im not making any predictions, cos i had us for top 2 the last 2 seasons!!

people talk some sh*te on here , they really do

we finished next to bottom last year , bottom this year and we still have the same monkey in charge. We have lost 4-5 players from the squad and we will get injuries next year (everyone does !)
Last year it was visa delays , season before the imports didn't come over in time , season before players were late from Intl duty.

We will finish about 6th although if Agar goes within 6 games then we could finish higher under a world class coach.

Until this club appoints Bellamy-Stuart-Hasler-Anderson type then we will struggle to win GF.

So , I am optomistic about finishing 6th and about Agar leaving for a great to come and coach us.

So what you are saying is you think we will finish 12th








I am sick of losing the bets at work

Anger mode.....

Good, it's about time someone put some pressure on him, cos our board and CEO don't seem to give a flying foook how well he does!

Anger over......

Good read, lets hope Offiah is right

he is a lovely man as well then

I want Gary and Martin to be my new Uncle's.

I didn't





Struggling for the top 8 two years running and even that was way too high.

Success will depend on the fitness of sean long, if he stays fit we can make the top 4 if not we'll struggle for the play offs IMO.
