He's a Leeds fan, I believe....
Though if you are referring to Saints, I agree, theirs has been one of the longest transitional periods in sporting history.

| For what it's worth, I'm gutted.
Predicted 4th at ther start of the year, and then after 5 games thought we'd be lucky to be serious challengers at any comp.
Several were talking about relegation after 5 matches and saying loads of bull about Smith doesn't coach any attacking play, the wingers don't do any sprint training etc etc
First half defensive display was awesome (was it 4 sets on the bounce we had to defend?)
Fair play to Wigan - they had a stranglehold on the first half - and when we did get the ball we didn't complete enough. So at 8-4 I was relieved.
The 2nd half was far more even.
We had chances but going for drop goals on the 3rd was frustrating for me.
But in the end we still lost - at the fine margins.
I don't want this to sound as sour grapes but I really don't like the way Wigan play the 'holding down' game and '3rd man in the tackle' game, but if the refs don't police it, is this what our game is going to become? You can't blame any team for getting away with as much as they can, but is it in the spirit of the game?
I truly hope not. It's not one I'd like to see.
I'm full of admiration for their 'blitzkreig' type attack - with lots of players forming 3 lines when attacking. Really impressive.
But then there's the 'high shots' which the refs don't blow for. How many times was Myler hit? And hit late?
10 meters verses 8?
I'll watch the match tomorrow on the Beeb and hope I'm wrong about some of this.
Others have said the ref made the right decisions for the big calls - that's as maybe but the general feeling I've got is one of frustration at the way the game was allowed to be played.

| I think as far as the drop goals are concerned we lost our expert before the season started .Lee Briers was used to taking shots at goal in pressure situations ,but the lads last night looked as if they were not prepared at all for having to settle a match with a drop goal so maybe that should be worked on for the future.

You're making out like you've got a team of kids that are making their debut season. Small club mentality.
Agreed its a transitional year from your star studded golden oldies team that peaked in 2011/2. But remember wigan lost one of their best players in their recent history, Tomkins, a former Man of Steel, Pat Richards and =#FF0000strong players Harrison Hansen and Lee Mossop. And are bringing through kids like Burgess, Bateman, Sarginson, Powell. Transitional year for ourselves.'"
This is where you lost any credibility my friend.

| After the first few rounds I would have settled for mid table, it was looking like a complete shambles with nobody quite sure who was going to fit where and our new big star prop was useless leaving our pack almost totally reliant on Hilly and Ben for any kind of go forward. Together with the weekly who the heck is playing 6 and 7 this week conundrum it looked bleak.
What we have seen is a team grow in a stuttering fashion with pieces now seemingly starting to fall into place and things settle down a bit. In amongst all this uncertainty we very very nearly got to a GF final. Yes the competition hasn't been the greatest standard this year but early doors I was just wanting to get this season out of the way and build for the future.
The team has surpassed itself in my view all things considered, well done to the boys

The thing that us Rhinos fans can do is say that whilst our side was at their peak was that they delivered the biggest prize on offer,and on numerous occasions too
Warringtons best ever squads in SL have clearly failed this objective would you not agree?
The Rhino's will surely have to go through their transitional period without a doubt and maybe wont win a GF for quite a while,But who's to say that the Wolves will either during our barren spell?
I'll take solace in our 6 GF wins and 3 WCC success' to date and ask you to match us any time soon

Numerous CC finals. Finally winning one this year. Let me know when the wolves finally get over their hoodoo.
Always your year.

| Apparently it's only "your year" if you win the Grand Final.
