We just need some injury luck in general / keep Newman + fusi on the pitch for more than 40-50% of games.
The spine os quality and will gwt better and better as the season progresses. Just need the forwards to hit hard and direct so our faster/skillful/ support players can get on the front foot.

We're already up against it in the pack with potential injuries for round one! But I am very much looking forward to seeing the new faces.
Finishing 5th or 6th ? That might be the case, personally if that happens I would consider it a failure. Looking at the money we have spent and the players we have brought in I would expect to finish 3rd or 4th at least. I agree we won’t win anything ,only hope is a kind challenge cup draw and a cup final appearance.

5th and a good crack at the playoffs is a minimum, lower and there's cause for reflection on whether the set up is right going forward. I've every hope we are on the right track and will achieve that.

I'd take top 6 as long as we aren't miles off the top. the cup you simply can't predict. wigan away first and lose by a point could hardly be considered a failure.

1-3 would be a very good year, anywhere below 6 poor given the investment. What would be really good to see would everyone playing to a good standard, something we've not seen in ages.

Top 4 for mine otherwise Rohan goes. I want to see consistency in performances and results more than anything. No more win one match, lose the next one.

Top 4 and enjoy watching the game and all players trying all the time. Don’t mind drop balls or brain explosions. Want to be jumping out of my seat and having fun rather than going and getting bored.

I fancy Wigan for the treble. Saints, Catalans, Leigh and possibly Wire along with us fighting the other places. 4th or 5th and playing some decent rugby would do for me. Anything below that and I would be asking why although I do think we are a good prop short.

I don't understand people sing we won't win anything, it's not like we're Cas or Salford. Our starting 13 should be competing every week, and we've actually got some decent squad depth. Granted, not players you'd want to have to rely on for a chunk of the season. But inherit injuries will play a huge part, and Wigan have the WCC of course, which could knock them off the pace for a while. Our signings are as good as anyone's and we have the strongest spine for a long time. If lady luck has decided to smile on us, we should be in thr mix. And it's not like SL is the highest quality it's ever been. Hopefully last season taught Rohan a lot, and he uses that this season. He's still a young coach, but has shown signs of having the attributes to be successful. There's chinks in all the teams, so I'm pretty optimistic
