Glory hunter now that's an interesting statement !! I have had a season ticket since 1972 !! That's even for 3rd division Rugby and watched lots of poor fare but even on days when we got mullered considering the players on the field we saw 100% effort and in some cases 110% commitment .

My gripe with last season is games like Wakefield at home, St Helens away, Hull away, Salford at home and Wigan in the play offs plus lots of others where we radically under performed and underwhelmed even when winning.

I will never support any other team but along with others have an expectation for a general level of performance and especially commitment not seen on too many occasions this season. After a 3 hour journey to St Helens the 16-0 down in ten minutes was bottom drawer as was the same at Wigan the issue is the amount of poor matches we had to watch last season after 50 years of watching Huddersfield I have no expectation of trophies although it would be nice to get close.

I will go next season probably with a season ticket but at this moment don't see any improvement and I was prepared to accept some poor regular season rubbish for peaking at the play offs ala Anderson and co's stated aims.

Well it didn't happen we bombed had I been so far off my forecast at work questions would be asked by the business and shareholders in this case the Fartown club and the fans who invest their hard earned money.

Anyone who decries that right is way out of turn because it's not disloyalty just sound management of assets exactly the same thing the club is doing on the face of it very few changes and shedding of three quality players yet to be properly replaced.

I want convincing that wherever we finish next season the fare will improve I can take losing in the right way but not the often served up mush of last season. It cost me £50+ to go to St Helens and watch a non performance that was unacceptable in every way why should anyone blindly follow and accept rubbish like that is my point !!

taai and patrick? they are the replacements for chan.

some awful losses last year but got to take the rough with the smooth, you forgetting the wins at wigan and leeds?

Brearley tiaa a good battering ram more a prop than a back row forward larn will go through a gap but will never pass.
realty they are props we need someone who can ask questions of a difference and a bit of an enforcer would be ideal.
this year the attack has been all down farris side we need something different

like westwood? hock?

we cant afford those type of players and wont be happening as we are pretty stacked in the second row

so what are we doing with extra six hundred and twenty five thousand pounds we are getting from sky i think we are stacked in the props but short in the back row its a longer season next year if we lose ferris or baily i can see us having a fight to get into the top 8

Any extra money we get from Sky will only held to pay Keith Mason off. A lot of money was lost due to bad management. Never been explained by the MD.

we will never know how much it has cost us and why the MD didn't get his P45 or how much off the cap we spend how much the sponsors pay ect ect ect.

Allowing ken to only have to spend three hundred and seventy five of his own cash.....

Come on folks, get real!!

If. at the start of the season , we were offered third place in the league and one point off top spot, we would have bitten their arm off.

We had one bad game against the Dragons, a game that, in my opinion, should never have been played, given what was at stake, or at least been delayed until the problem with the fuse box had been sorted.

I have renewed for both of us and also have got an upgrade, just to show loyalty to a club that has had my support for nigh on sixty years, and will have for as long as I live.

Quite right 3rd in the league, joint second without points difference, very close to taking the LLS again. I would say that is a very successful season. The Grand final just depends on 2 or 3 games at the end of the season, it can be won by a team finishing in 8th place, that must be false, surely the champions are the ones that finish top after 27 rounds. The Grand final is just an up market Challenge cup comp at the end of the season for SKY.
Too many of us are getting like Leeds, Warr, Wig, Saints fans and believing it is our right to be winning trophy`s. Let us just be thankful we are still not in the dark days when anything above the bottom 2 or3 was the norm.

Yes, let's be grateful we aren't as sh*t as we used to be....

releasing odonnell early from his massive contract paid for the mason case, think we let some players go out on loan at the time too to bulls and wakey, thats passed now

the extra money from sky helps ken davy from bankrolling so much and prob helps renew contracts of our younger players which will be getting bigger salaries.. and huby who wont come cheap on 4yrs.. some big players contracts up next season

grix got in first with his 2yr deal!

Why give players approaching 30, long contracts . Some of them have not set last season alight and the Club seem to be very generous. Could we have a statement from the Club explaining the thinking as too why 3&4 years have been given and too who.

Huby 4yr deal, in his prime for a prop and one of the hottest properties in SL. probably wouldnt have got him if we offered less than 4 yr deal

wardle, cudjoe,mcgillvary and lawrence to name a few been given long term deals, dont see any problem with that as long as they dont become complacent ... maybe they do though but i think we would lose them if we just gave 2yr deals

No because it's none of our business.

It's KD's business he can do what he likes with it. If he wants to give Eorl an 18 year contract that's nothing to do with anyone else.

Well said McMad.

transfer fee for eden also went towards paying mason off

Is that why Stuart Fielden lost his coaching job to cut costs? The MD and the 007 should have resigned in shame. Poor Ken having to pay for poor decisions of management. Well some think that's acceptable ???

Given that was KD's statement issued after the conclusion of the Mason case I don't think he feels anyone at the club did anything wrong.

Perhaps it was his methods rather than saving money that cost him his job!

aye we wondered what happened to fielden!

are you keith mason with your 3 posts?

I dont think anyone sees that as acceptable.

Virtyually everyone on here thought Mason had been treat badly and was fully supportive of him and his case.

Glad you siad 'virtually'.

Without wanting to drag up the whole affair again, what Mason did was totally unacceptable.
