I'm going for league leaders shield. I still believe that to be the best team over 30 weeks of rugby is the true measure of success. The challenge cup is a fantastic money spinner for the club and great for the fans. For me the grand final has now been devalued even more. It's now become just a 2 round cup competition

Entertaining RL, and not the turgid dross we've had served up, post Easter.

How can it be anything BUT a grand final win?

Top 4 is the starting point, nowhere near success. We should assume we'll make it. Wigan, St Helens, Leeds will be planning on making the GF, nothing less. So should we. We have been in three of the last five Grand Finals and four of the last eight Challenge Cup Finals (all but one of the Challenge Cup semi finals since 2009). Getting there is good, but again it's not success. We have to win a trophy for it to be a successful season.

Grand Final win. Anything else simply equals or falls below what we have achieved several times now over recent years.

A team that plays good rugby league, is in the hunt for trophies and continues to develop young players.

I am sure if we don't win the Grand Final there will be the usual bollsocks on here slagging off Tony Smith and saying we need a new coach - ANYONE - who can "take us that next level", and then if Smith does leave you can bet their faces would fall rapidly when they saw us clamouring over whether to get Steve McNamara, Paul Anderson, Daryl Powell, Denis Betts etc
