[quote="HU8HFC":1lex419r]It is nice to see some people have confidence in the squad and that a 6th place finish is achievable, but for me we would be banking on a few sides better than us to have a bad year which does feel pretty unlikely.
There has been emphasis on the next three years, Mylers and Cartwrights contracts expire in 2027 along with key players such as Asiata and Abdull, and till then the owners won't be taking a penny out of the club. The blueprint they are working towards seems like
2025 Season - Be competitive again, get fans back onside and give us something to build on. 8-9th place will be seen as progress.
2026 Season - Challenging for top 6 will be seen as an expectation rather than ambition. 5-6th place finish would be the target.
2027 Season - Consolidating ourselves as a top 6 club whilst pushing for a top 4 finish. 6th place would be the minimum, 4th place or above would be the aim.
Obviously only a plan, we could reach the end goal quicker or of course not at all, but its nice to see after several years of negativity that there is something to look forward to.[/quote:1lex419r]
This is my expectation too.
[quote="Jake the Peg":xl1cifiq]Mikey lewis is by far and away rovers best player as he was last season. Lose him and they will be 4th to 6th. If he stays fit they'll be top 3[/quote:xl1cifiq]a few injuries for your boys and you could be serving the soup
I also think Wakey will be fighting at the bottom, they have made some good signings, as have we, but alot of their overseas players are untested at SL level. For me they lack creativity, pivots of Jowitt, Trueman, Russell, Hood and Pitts hardly set fear in sides. Like us they have a couple of injury risky signings too. It's OK playing against part time teams but SL is another level. I wouldn't be suprised if we finished above them or vice versa to be honest.

Obviously left with the scraps when your power board signed ruan
