I think that we have a chance, but then the league is so competetive now that there are others like Saints, Leeds, Hull FC, Hull KR, Wakey, Wigan, Huddersfield, Quins etc. all have a good chance of the top 4 as well.
Celtic and Salford are simply not competetive enough this year and I don't feel that Warrington or Bradford are good enough either. Catalans also don't really look to be on the pace yet, but I wouldn't rule them out.
If I was to pick a top 8 so far (from what i've seen at this early stage) then it would be (in no particular order) :-
Leeds
Saints
Quins
Cas
Hull FC
Hull KR
Huddersfield
Wakey
We are improving every week and I love the fast flowing style that we are developing. We have some very quick and skillful players to fit that style and i'm sure that we will cut out more of the errors and become slicker, the more we play like that. I also feel that our forward pack is one of the best in the league, which is allowing the likes of Sherwin & Chase, as well as the likes of Goldie, Owen, Shenton & Dixon to work well in attack.
What we mustn't forget is that we are still rebuilding from our recent spells in the National Leagues and this season is the first season where we have been able to recruit properly. We brought around 9 or 10 players in this year and for the first time in ages we have competition for places.
When you bring that amount of new players in it takes time to gell though and personally I feel that we have adapted very quickly indeed.
I do feel we have a good chance of being one of the best sides in this league come the playoffs and i'm just looking forward to every game at the moment as I feel that there's nobody in this league who we can not beat.
