Other than top 2, and probably top 4, I believe we could finish in any position going come the end of the season. We've struggled during the 6N period and haven't been overly convincing all season but will have a stronger squad for the remaining fixtures. I think where we are now is most likely given the run in. If that is the case then Challenge Cup it is and of course I'll be behind the team as much as ever. We haven't been able to compete in the champions cup this year, so a year out is probably not a bad thing. Likewise we seem to have landed very similar group placements every year and it wasn't as exciting a competition for me this year.
This has been one bad year following progressively improving years. We are in a competitive league and have slid back in performance slightly as a lot of teams below have picked up. I'm sure that we can improve and use next year as a spring board to building a side better than we've been enjoying the last 2-3 years.
