                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>@begg Totally agree. Every home fixture should be an 'Event'. When all age groups of the development squad are established, any age group and the Women's team (if at home) should play their games leading up to the Main Event, which would be the First Team at 3pm. They were doing it in Australia decades ago.</p>

<p>The one thing that we can't forget is that while we want the Board to work towards the big day so must the supporters. THe crowd is pretty consistent and needs to continue to grow if possible.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I did wonder that if we have junior sides and the girls team there might be a chance of playing their games before our fixture, two games for the price of one.</p>

<p>Good experience for the junior and girls and a better deal for supporters! </p>

<p>lyons I feel,is still developing when allowed - he had his best game running the show against Toulouse and then got injured</p>
<p>with regard to the club and where we are , I feel we are doing the right thing and not going for broke like Oldham and fev have been doing</p>
<p>in reality we probably have 2 seasons in the championship to develop the club and try again for the promised land.</p>
<p>however I would be happy with a competive team at the top of the championship for now, before SL implodes </p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>Fair comments mate it is very difficult especially with the RFL changing the goal posts every few seasons. Personally teams like Oldham and Featherstone etc could be wasting money with no guarantee of promotion. I feel it is better how we are doing it now, as we could end up with a bigger investor than Oldham in 2 years time, and then they have basically wasted there money. </p>
<p>Back on topic I feel we was not too far off a team being top 4. What we lacked is squad depth and a few big props. The creativity halfback is a must who has a running game,but I have never been a fan of Gregson or Lyons.</p>
