Correct, apart from, no one can legislate for career ending injuries to players, but a finance plan has still to be in place so as to insure future income.
Got a feeling london plan not to be religated and finish 11next year lol
Im pretty sure Londons 3 YEAR PLAN will be to win super league or a challenge cup. No team will start a season saying right lads lets just not get relegated
But that’s their aim for Year 1. Year 2 to consolidate and Year 3 for top 5.
Same as Wakefield’s will be to make top 5 this season. That’s what most bottom half clubs will be aiming for.

cogito ergo sum wrote:Some interesting responses from fans.
Seems the club are damned if they do and damned if they don't. Every business has a business plan, a succession plan, business targets, ambitious attainment targets. If they achieve these, well done, if not the management is held to account. It's they way of business, whether it's platitudinous, cut and paste, or anything else.
If they issued no plans, they would be accused of lack of ambition. They can't be accused of that, and thank goodness.
In reality, how many clubs would you swap places with?
I've watched Cas since 1959, buy my season ticket regardless of results because I was born in Cas, am proud of my team, and have rarely been happier. Relative success on the field, financially sound (unlike the Van Der Velde era. New stadium on the horizon. Long may it last.
One moaning isn't a Cas fan, so take it with a pinch of salt

The ground will be handed over but Cas have to fit it out. That takes a lot of work in planning and doing.
To make WR the training site the same.
The club will need to bring in staff to do and oversee the works.
To me it needs to be in the plan.
The plan gives fans the ability to question the outcome and without it, we presume the direction we're going in.

There is a mentality issue around the whole club from “we are a small club with a small budget” to the final games of the last two seasons. We spend to the cap and we are no longer the underdog in any game, we now need to start believing that. Whilst we talk the talk going into the finals our behaviour and ability to get bullied on the field says otherwise. There’s something to be done and that’s for the coaching team to decide. I take confidence from JW’s season review on Tigers TV, the guy is on the ball and clearly has ideas up his sleeve. Adding a couple of players will not be our answer.

We competed last year with injuries and such, what we lacked was the right mental attitude,so yes a sports psychologist would be have a bigger impact than two new signings

Seriously, you are asking me if I read what I put?
I never said we don’t need any signings and if you can piece together my opinions from more than one thread you’ll notice I am hoping for some tweaks to the team. But if you think adding a winger and a centre (or two) will win us the GF then you are more clueless than I realised.

In my opinion, and it may not be worth much.
Firstly we have the squad, especially 1-17 to win a semi final and grand final.
Our last 2 seasons, firstly last year, there were all sorts of disruptions in the week building up to the final. Even so I still thought the players on the field could and should have done the job. Imo what happened was the disruption got into there heads and it threw the whole balance of the team off. Hence a poor performance with lots of drops ball, which imo was lack of concentration due to the disruption in the build up. Some may say thats rubbish, just my opinion.
As for this years semi. I really do believe it was psychological.
It was a mirrored images of last years final. Lost balls, couldn’t put a pass together for love nor money. We had the players on the field to do a job. They sadly didn’t do that job.
We need to be mentally tougher, not saying a therapist would be the answer but I believe it would help in high tencity games.
Just my thoughts and no one else’s.

I tend to agree with this OCL, it’s definitely hearts and minds rather than ability that has held us back from doing the job the last two seasons.
It’s hard to pinpoint what will work, but that’s not our job as fans that’s the clubs job. I would say resilience is a key factor that needs to be explored, be that via a sports psychologist or through a resilience programme.

My view of this years semi final is quite simple we were carrying too many players that wernt 100% and perhaps some shouldn't have played at all had others been available. Imo fitness was an issue all season and that reflected in the number of leg/hamstring/muscle injuries. A better/tougher pre season should see a big improvement in its self and should see a reduction in injuries.

Though we had 2 better players injured a week before in trueman and moors, we still had the personal on the field to do a job.
I still think we weren’t mentally hard enough.

you can add the challenge cup q-final against hull in too where we played nothing like we had being playing and led dp to say after the match he couldnt understand it and it was are worst performance of the season
if you keep giving your worst performance of the season in games that matter most something needs to change dp alluded to that after the semi at wigan
bringing somebody in to work on that wouldnt be a bad thing but at the end of the day it should be in the players who have being called out as chokers to make everybody eat them words when were in big games next season which i believe we will be
The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have

People say we nether win big games last years semi last 5 years magic weekend won on big stage elland road last year dont think its owt mentally just not had quality last hurdle but hopefully make a few good signings and more look we injury s build up to big games. We lost 14 nil to. Winner s great defence could have one if had that quality to finish trys and. Not lost trueman and moors its not mentally at all .

I agree OCL but if your body isn't fit neither will your mind be right. Feel good play good.not at any point through the season did we hit our straps and look in tip top shape.
