When you look at what we have lost it could look bad but
Paul was at the end of his time . Very much a defensive organizer
Rinaldi didn't get much play time of Mcdermott as Randell is an 80 min hooker
Hill on his day was brilliant. He was injured a lot. Mcdermott this week said when he played we were to reliant on him and this year we will go through several first receivers in our plays
Mclinden was injured all last year although a great player.

We've brought in 2 hard working Aussie back rowers. Mac said at the forum this week we have played with no recognised back row for 2 years( Purdham excepted)

Our big loss last year was Gafa getting injured. He is now back in training.

Lets see. Like all supporters Im hopeful, realistically bottom half.

Ok, here goes...

Leeds
Stains
Catalans
Wigan
Dire
Hull FC
Bulls
Hull KR
Huddersfield
Quins
Cas
Wakefield
Celtic
Salford

HKR 5th can't see it.

Yes we have finished botome twice in 5 years, we finished two points off this year and have strengthened our sqaud since. Salford and celtic will struggle as all promoted teams struggle, some player will have never played super league before, new faces will be brought in meaning the team will take time to gel, and they will have had less of a chance to build a squad than other teams. Still if you think cas will finish bottom perhaps i can intrest you in a wager

?

Whats more do you really think that hull will struggle again so much, they were plagued by injury last year, but they have some good young players and have a decent chance of being able to put out there two first choice halfs this year, something which i dont believe the did last year. Wakey are having some problems but to say they will finish below both promoted teams is naive in the extreme, players like brough, latu and drew will see them pick up points.

I would say he would be in with a shout at top 5 though, certainly top ten, if i could have one wigan player at cas it would be him.

Obviously you know alot more about your recruitment than i do but i really think you will miss these players, you have some excellent young players though and one of the best coaches in the league though, so you will continue to punch above your weight, the recruitment from the national league and reletive lack of signings though suggests that money might be tight.

Thats what i was thinking, i'm not suggesting that salford will get hammered every game or anything but i cant see them getting more than 5 or 6 wins. I certainly dont think they have a stronger sqaud than quins, wakey, kr or cas.

'kinell TJ, you been on the old peace pipe?

No doubt he is a clas player just not top 3 which was the initial point.

haha its not like i put us in the top 6 is it....... i just think we might suprise a few people this year...

The likes of Ireland in this world cup have proved what can be achieved with abit of team spirit and hard work so you never know i suppose.

It is obviously alot harder to keep playing above you talents on a week to week basis over the course of 27games though.

Made some good signings IMO.

They certainly have, few bad ones as well but they are more than likely to be challenging for the top 6, depends on carney though and carney has been known to go off the rails.
