I think we will finish 5th but the top 6 should be a little clear of 7th and 8th in the final standings. The top 4 is not out of our reach though.
I just think our squad is superior, we have added in positions that need strengthening and we have a quality coach. |

Were have we added that need strengthening? The only quality i can see that we needed was signing Blake Green and even that is a risk.
Mason, great but not needed in 2nd row but will take it.
Hall, neither here nor there, will either add to depth or take someones place but wont be any better then we have.
Top 4 is well out of reach, 5 6 or 7th for us again and for FC imo. With hopefully a better cup run for us this time.

Green will be a better option than what we had last season at 6, surely?
Mason can play in the front row without a problem, so adds very good options.
Hall has the potential, he may may produce, he may not but will add cover in the outside backs. |

Mason adds a good offload IF morgan uses it, also will make space for others when hes targetted, but could cause major dressingroom disfunction.
Hall has had potential for the last 8 years, cover is all it will ever be, will not add anything.
Green i agree is obviously the best option we have to improve.... but look at the improvement of teams around us, looking at them and us id say we wont be moving much higher fast. |

we have added the strength as in green takes cooke's place after we binned him off after 4 games so didn't play for practically all season, mason takes walkers place who sat in the stand all season and craig hall who love him or hate him has played about 60 superleague games and scored about 40 tries takes ratu's place in the squad after looking not good enough after 4 games also. Added to that we've released former juniors who have'nt broken through really with the next batch.
I reckon that gives us a stronger squad next year, having said that I still see us as only 6th best in the league and are scrappping for 5th with hudds, unless one of the big 4 of wigan, saints, leeds or Wire unexpectedly fall over. I'd be delighted with 5th or 6th though if it includes a good cup run. |

No guarantee of that happening!
The kid knows how to find the try line as Sandy has pointed out.
Teams have improved around us as we have ourselves, it shows we are not prepared to just sit back. |

Exactly weve added depth not strength. Yes ok Green is going to play ill give you that 1, but we havent signed someone who is going to knock someone down a peg is what im getting at.
Walker and Cooke wernt going to be here anyway so no they havent been replaced by those players. |

A bit early yet but we look very good against the warm up team. Think Hull are saying its a good time to play us as we will be a bit rusty. But man for man we look far superior. For a minute I was starting to feel sorry for them but it soon went. Come on Rovers cannot wait.
Still waiting in the wings are
Hall
Netherton
Hodgson
Watts
and all the young lads.... Justin has a massive job to pick the best 17 from a very strong squad

| Quote berrigans bitch="berrigans bitch"My predictions never come back to haunt me ask your mod
Last season I predicted us 4th and you guys 9th. I was so very close maybe if Radders had not lost it who knows, we were never out the top 6 all season...As for you guys I was only 2 places off.
Bookmark the thread and you will see my predictions will not be too far off...Also bookmark this thread because you will not finish above us, just because I go against the grain with my optimism does not mean I do not know my rugby.'"
So you were wrong then
Overestimating your own side whilst underestimating Rovers, what a shock |
