We're relying on a 35 year old winger playing at full back, an obese half back, another who is about 35 and 2 hookers, one of who is really a half back but not really good enough to play there and another who was kept out of Salfords team last season by 2 half backs playing hooker.
Add in the worst centre partnership in superleague and a pack of forwards who are pretty much what we had this year, Holmes and asiata apart, and I have no idea why you think we'll do well
I think that's airing a little on the side of over pessimistic.
I guess it depends on what constitutes doing well.
The pack, with an addition to go with Cartwright, Asiata and even a fit Staveley is better then we had this season.
A half/back choice of Sezer, Abdull, Cust is better then we've had all season.
To refer to Rapana as a 35 year old winger to play fullback is a bit dismissive to his quality and what he'll bring, though not untrue in what you say.
I agree in our weakness at Centre.
There's a team there, with coaching, that should push us into the lofty heights of 7th down.
That to me would be fair progress.
