We have now got a decent team to support and we need to get fully behind them. There are some strong teams in Super League this year but we will win a good share of games. Realistically, around 6th position would be a step forward this season with maybe a cup run thrown in.

The comeback against Wigan said it all for me. − Will, Huddersfield
