I think with luck with injuries we can make the play offs, i dont think well be top 4 again, but the playoffs should still be in our grasp though. Warrington and Hull have strengthened well Catalans too, but not too sure about Wigan and Bradford though

bizarrely i think finishing 4th this season would be an improvement to last year - we havent really improved the team, weve replaced what weve lost. And as everyone else has improved there squads i think that would mean some of our players have improved in the off season to make up the lack of "quality" signing.
(however i still think we will finish 5/7th)

Around the 6th/7th/8th mark will be good enough for me. Really can't see us being top four again, not with our pack, although I clearly hope I'm wrong.
To make the play-offs has to be the overall aim/hope. Everything else is just a bonus. Can't wait for the season to get going now C'MON YOU REDS!

Realistically I think 7th.
Which wouldn't be a bad thing come playoff time (Wigan/Catalans last year), we would have to win that 1st game and take that momentum into the team that just lost their 1st playoff match.
To finish higher than 4th would be fantastic.
Hull FC fans. Save money on expensive new kits by simply strapping a large fake penis to your forehead. It is now clear to all, as to your allegiance.

Or 5th or better in the competition.
The lad's an optimist - Hull FC have their share too, going on the paralell thread on your board. And why not? Both clubs have decent teams and the season is still pristine and virgin, unsullied by defeats, injuries and disappointments.
For me: Leeds, then the question of whether Saints can hold onto the Rhinos coat-tails or will be sucked back into the pack, then the rest with Quins really having to punch above their weight to get into play-off contention and Salford and WC better than last year but not troubling the top 10.

Hopefully with a bit of luck keeping our key players free from injury i think a top 6 finish for us would be another great season, with a wembley trip and a run in the playoffs to cap it off

totally agree with you, playoffs are a must, anything higher is a bonus. a good cup run would be nice too.
