2. Wigan - Will be strong again and could easily win things as long as the new imports settle in well.
3. Warrington - Good, solid and strong squad.
4. Saints - Fantastic pack but will need both half backs to stay fit, playing at Widnes may cause a small disruption.
5. Hull KR - A good settled squad, if Dobson and Green gel, then who knows! Looking forward to seeing a mature Willie lol
6. Huddersfield - Loss of Brown will be key! still have a strong squad though.
7. Bradford - It feels like for the first time in a while, the club have a fresh lease of life.
8. Hull - Once again a real problem in the halves which seems to have been going on for years now. Berrigan can be key if he is given a full time centre spot but not sure Agar will see it like that. O'Meley has to stay fit as he lead the pack superbly last season.
9. Salford - Same as Bradford.
11. Castleford - The loss of Shenton and Westerman will hurt, I also think some still question Matterson.
12. Wakefield - Cant see Kear being able to get something out of this season with the current squad.
13. Quins - Club dont seem to be going anywhere apart from backwards.
14. Celtic - It going to be a long hard season!
Huddersfield haven't lost brown

Pumpkin- not only do you have Brown going you have also created a UK league and a numbering system without a 10!! Where have you been?

| Simalar for last season for us bewtween 5th and 7th IMO.
I think we have a slightly stronger squad as it stands, better props, attacking LF and 2 good wingers.
If we use Berrigan at centre and Houghton at hooker we will also be stronger in that position.
Big key is getting more games out of halfbacks, Tansey should be used as backup with Whiting at FB. Nicklas to get a few games at halfback also a key.
I'm expecting a big season from Tansey if he can cut out his error rate he has chance of international rugby.
We lost a few games last year that we shoud have won, so if we can turn them into points who knows.
6th place or above and a good challenge cup run will do for me.
I think the top 4 will be the same as last year, in fact I expect the top7 to be in the 8 with Bradford replacing Crusaders.

=#FF0000Looking forward to seeing Nicklas but how is it key?? it winds us up how people go on about Horney staying fit, he hasn't had a proper run of being fit for over 4 years... I can't think of any other sportsman that's come back to full fitness after that long of being out let alone a rl player.
I'm expecting a big season from Tansey if he can cut out his error rate he has chance of international rugby.
=#FF0000
The international game is in a bad state, but not bad enough for Tansey to be getting anywhere near the team!!! guess it's just the the black n white specs talkin pal
We lost a few games last year that we shoud have won, so if we can turn them into points who knows.

How would the partnerships work though? By pairing Fitzgibbon and O'Meley then you would have circa 40 minutes a game with neither on the pitch. Splitting them would mean that it would be very infrequent to see them both on the pitch at the same time.
I just dont see Agar moving Fitzgibbon up to the front row.

Do you need partnerships at props?
As long as we have 2 decent props at any time then it doesn't matter who plays with who, both O Meley and Fitz can play more than 40 minutes per game.
If we dont play Fitz at prop i cant see where they would play him with Westerman signing and our 2 backrowers we have.
For the start of the season with radford out we only have 3 props plus Lauaki or Fitz, i cant see us playing Lauaki there so it should be Fitz.

But we do have halfbacks,it's just that we dont have any quality back up to cater for injurys.I am hoping Longy and Horney have a injury free season but i wont hold my breath.

because we operate a sound business model, which operates at a profit, and we don't flash cash we haven't got and then go cap in hand to the council to help us keep our promises?
that do you?
