Good job your opinion counts for Sweet FA.

Well done to Hull this season. Speaking to people at the start of the playoffs, I was predicting a Wire V Hull final (28-10 to Wire in the final

). Just a shame the fixtures went and spoilt it. I would previously have said that in a team game one person doesnt make that much of a difference...............then TS arrived at our place and rejuvenated Lee Briers. Maybe one man CAN make that difference.

It's been a very encouraging start to the Pearson/Gentle era. I think most of us would have been very satisfied at the start of the season with sixth place, a play off win and a respectable exit from the competition.

I've enjoyed this season and looked forward to attending games more than any time since 2006.

We have to move forward though, of course. I'd be disappointed to miss the top four in 2013 and a decent Cup run is required (although a little luck with the draw is needed there).

Looking at it from my corner I have to say P.G. has restored faith in me.The last few seasons I ended up going to games more out of loyalty than hope of getting anything.
Yes,we have had the odd blip this season,but we have seen passing,offloads and determenation,not 5 drives and a kick.Young players have been given a chance ,those who have look good prospects.
The new players coming in are also cause for optimism.
All in all I am glad P.G. is here,roll on next season.

Strange that ,as if any of us give a monkeys.

Very happy with how this season has panned out. We've seen some entertaining rugby, managed a 40/20 and seen a cricket score.

Onwards and upwards.

wire remind me of Hull under john kear

Nah, Gentle's articulate, unlike Cullen and not a smug like Smith.

For the first time in years, I have a great feeling about next year. For the last few, I've bought season passes for the family purely out of habit and loyalty. This year I genuinely wanted that pass. We're getting back on track and leaving the shadow of Agar's craptitude and lack of responsibility for the bad performances.

I can't wait for 2013. BEL13VE.

+ the KC has been nigh on impenetrable this year

Very happy with Gentle's first season, has restored some belief. Defensively unrecognizable from previous years and genuine optimism for the years to come.

Why do some people have their IQ as part of their user name. eg this fool?

Thats not his IQ. It's the number of fans they had last night.

Forwards are good enough, defence is good enough, the backs are almost there (new Full Back needed) it is just the Halves that are letting the side down.

stick a Rangi Chase, a Sean Long (in his pomp) or even dare I say it, a Paul Cooke in last nights line-up and it'd have been a much tighter game.

Very optimistic for the future.

Agreed, the difference last night was there for all to see. The pace of Myler and the organisation and kicking game of Briers - swap the pairings around last night and we win.

Seymour was poor (again) and Aaron I don't quite get, decent player but not a true half back and not as good as DH at 9 - nothing against him, tried hard, but isnt what we need, a typical Agar signing.

Holdsworth is far better than both so we're halfway there.

Forwards are looking very good but we still need one more prop to replace Moa. Back row is still looking superb.

Backs are looking pretty good but we do need a top fullback, but with none available and McDonnell does sign then it's better then what we've got now.

Like already been said halves is where we've always struggled. DJ is a top signing but he needs a top half to play with. Chase would be awesome and I still believe there's a chance of him coming, I don't think it's that dead in the water as some think.
If we don't get Rangi then I don't think we'll sign anyone who's at the same level as him. Therefor I think we will go for someone like Lee Gaskell, always liked him as a player who has some real skill about him and has a running game. But, he isn't at the same level as Chase but not many are in SL.
Wonder if Michael Witt will be an option? Not the best of players and not someone I'd be looking at signing. Or thomas Bosc? He hasn't been playing in his favoured position as much as he would of liked.
That's the worrying thing for me, if we don't get Chase. Who will we sign, if anyone at all?

Could Leon Pryce be an option? Gaskell was playing full back for saints under 20s last night

Who cares what we need from today onwards the main thing is what we do have finally
1, an owner who is clearly in it to win it , trustworthy and honest
2, a coach who is professional , articulate and passionate
3, a new breed / bunch of players with a completely new mindset that a match is 80 mins long and to wear the badge means you play for that 80 mins just like last night.

i drove home smiling after being beaten , years since i have done that but the passion and effort we put in last night with a team of broken jabbed up players was magnificent

THANK YOU AP , PG & BOMBER

now theres a thing... i stood for a while talking to Tommy martin last night and he recons that Gaskell has been on our radar for some time AND so has John Wilkin???
Gaskell fits our bill perfectly but wilkin??? no thanks

1st half was cracking wasnt it

Wilkin was in the West stand for the Cas game.

Not sure we need another back rower.

Regarding Pryce, I'd be interested if the medics can put him back together.

Stop mentioning Wilkin. Stop it.

Wow, its a ticker tape of players linked to FC. How long into next season will we hear the 'Well it takes time for a new team to gel'.

On the basis of turn over this year, and general performances thisa year, not to long.

A balanced or sarcastic reply, I'll go with balanced.
