We have an opportunity this year as for the first time in many years we have an even spread of home and away fixtures throughout the year and our extra games are against celtic and salford excluding the st Helens one.

The games in Feb for me are important "Must win Games" and we need to target getting to the end of Feb, Played 4 won 4.

I thought this year it was home and away against everybody once and one extra game in Scotland. With no other extra games.

Personally, I think January could well be a very important month.

First we need the players fit and ready.
We could also do with some sort of sponsor.
Furthermore a kit to play in this year.
oh and a few signings please.

Personally I think October could be a very important month!

I'd be suprised if you didnt win all your Feb games, but from an outsiders pov, I reckon Bradford and Leeds will beat you. What are your other games in March?

Very true last year we player the top 3 teams 10 times in the regular super league rounds all together 6 of which were away from home.

Correct.

yes its a massive month
mr frisk

Every month is important, not exactly massive, but sept/oct is critical

I see what he's saying, the team that ends up winning the league tends to break away right from the start. On paper we should win all four of those first games, however we never seem to start the season well, maybe that's due to conditioning (ensuring we peak around the play offs/final rather than at the start of the season) or maybe just a lack of team chemistry early on. The last time we won our first four games of the season was in 2001 when we went on to finish second and make the final. If we win our first four this year I'll be very impressed, even if there are no big sides there.

If it's a run of tough games your looking for though look at mid July - mid August! Bradford away, Leeds home, Saints away, Warrington at home all in a row. How well we stand up to that will have a massive bearing on where we finish as surely all of those sides and ourselves will be in and around the top 6 (sorry, 8 )
