I think we should all keep our expectations real and not hype too much pressure on MM.

If we expect to achieve exactly the same as this year then we wont be disappointed if the guy comes up with the goods.

I liked today how Shaun Wane said on sky things will change regarding what is expected from attitudes within the club. The guy is a born winner.

I would just like to see a more fitter, well coached, coherent side who can do the basics effectively and play some attractive rugby league.

Cruncher summed it up very well in a post in another thread.

He has to make 2 semi finals. Minimum

4th place.

All I expect next year is for us to play better rugby, more exciting rugby, to be excited for the next game as soon as the one before finishes. To actually want to go to matches instead of feeling like you have too because of loyalty/having a season ticket, which is how I and loads of other have felt this season. Anything else would be a bonus IMO, im not expecting miracles straight away, this is Nobles team, lets see what Maguire can do with it. 2011 is when the expectations will rise.

I would expect top 4 and a final eliminator (should the play-off system remain top

at the minimum.

if we don't win FOUR trophies next year, he should be shown the door

Simply i want to see a more consistant team in 2010. If we can get that im sure we will be in good place for silverwear.

BUT....we need to make signings, none more so than a prop forward.

If he can get the pack to perform at a consistant level the backs sort themselves out, as has been shown in more than one match this year

Agree, although not on the second part, i personally think we have a squad capable of silverware IF they play to the squads strengths, something we have not done since the days of Mike Greg.

A Prop I would expect to be in a final next year but even without I think we have a pretty good shot at a solid season and an outside bet at a trophy.

If we do not recruit for 2010, 2011 must deliver some top quality.

another sound assesment jonh, you do realize you talk far too much sense for on here!!

We need to win every game as well....by at least fifty....and concede no tries for his whole contract. Might start to warm to him a little if he can bring us that & if not then he's just another Aussie over for a big fat paycheck.
