Nothing surprising or very interesting will happen on the pitch. It’s like a game of Monopoly that has carried on even though somebody owns all the properties and hotels and has all the money. Everybody else just keeps rolling the dice and moving around the board out of habit.

Don't be surprised if both Hull clubs rekindle your enthusiasm in 2023.
As said above I think 4-10 is a real lottery depending on injuries/ Suspensions. I think Wire could go well, no idea why just a feeling, not convinced by Leeds, Rovers will surprise a few (unfortunately). Really liking the look of wigan this year. Leigh could struggle to adapt to week to week super league especially if/when injuries bite or if Lam or Ipape are out long term. Wakey have some quality if they can stay fit they'll avoid the drop.
As they say opinions are like ar*eholes we've all got one.
A lot will ride on injuries and squad togetherness for us as there are a large number of OOC players potentially being kept or released so I hope the club can navigate that well, keep focussed and play well each week. If we stay relatively healthy top 6 would be good but I just don’t feel as confident for some reason this year, despite the upgrade in coach. I think Wigan will win the GF and topple Saints , Leigh will do well with a quality squad and Wakey may go down- I hope not I’ve had some great away days there .

I think outside the top 2 there'll be a few clubs tightly packed together this season between ourselves, Wire, Rovers, Cas, Leeds, Salford and possibly Catalan. Huddersfield could either be more the top challenger to the likes of St's & Wigan or could easily be another fighting from 3rd to 6th place. Think Wakefield may be the one that finishes bottom but hard to say with another new Coach Leigh I think could start well but may fall short as the season goes on if they suffer on the injury front or have a few suspensions.
Definitely interesting season to look forward to
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

That's a good point Chris, however, should Leigh be struggling as the season goes on, money is available to reinforce should we need to, but it's also important that the right players are available.
