Quote ="lummy"I think a lot of this comes down to fans expectations. At the beginning of the season we all seemed to accept it is going to be a year of fact finding and change, top 8 we'd be happy with.
Then we start really well, go top briefly and are always around the top 4. Expectations raised significantly.
We are now back to the level where realistically we should be but it's hard for us sometimes to accept this. Injuries havent helped because I'm sure the likes of Turner would have been on his way weeks ago if we had any cover. If we'd been running around 7/8th all season there wouldn't be the same doom and gloom.
I have seen improvements in our pack this year, we have physically been able to cope with the likes of Leeds for example, which under Agar we couldnt. The lack of class and ultimate difference is in the pivots, still not enough ball handlers and leadership. Again, Leeds away as a perfect example. Salford away ditto. Put Sinfield and Holdsworth in our side, not theirs and we win. Probably next week v rovers (Dobson) same again. This is the big challenge facing AP and PG - they gotta get this right. Personally i'm not convinced Chase is the man for us.'"
Well said,given the choice I would sooner have Brough back.
