Added to that we've released former juniors who have'nt broken through really with the next batch.

I reckon that gives us a stronger squad next year, having said that I still see us as only 6th best in the league and are scrappping for 5th with hudds, unless one of the big 4 of wigan, saints, leeds or Wire unexpectedly fall over. I'd be delighted with 5th or 6th though if it includes a good cup run.

Exactly weve added depth not strength. Yes ok Green is going to play ill give you that 1, but we havent signed someone who is going to knock someone down a peg is what im getting at.

Walker and Cooke wernt going to be here anyway so no they havent been replaced by those players.

A bit early yet but we look very good against the warm up team. Think Hull are saying its a good time to play us as we will be a bit rusty. But man for man we look far superior. For a minute I was starting to feel sorry for them but it soon went. Come on Rovers cannot wait.

Still waiting in the wings are

Hall
Netherton
Hodgson
Watts
and all the young lads.... Justin has a massive job to pick the best 17 from a very strong squad :BOW:

Last season I predicted us 4th and you guys 9th. I was so very close maybe if Radders had not lost it who knows, we were never out the top 6 all season...As for you guys I was only 2 places off.

Bookmark the thread and you will see my predictions will not be too far off...Also bookmark this thread because you will not finish above us, just because I go against the grain with my optimism does not mean I do not know my rugby.

So you were wrong then :lol:

Overestimating your own side whilst underestimating Rovers, what a shock

Peter Gentle was rejected by Hull KR as their new head coach due to his lack of ambition.

Measured...good stuff.

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

If that's the hkr side I'd be confident.

There's a few changes what would improve the side IMO.

If you look up my predictions for last year I said FC would start ok, but would yet again be moaning about injuries by May (even tho they'd signed over the hill players and no HB cover) I said Rovers and FC would be a place apart but we would go further in the play offs. I must admit I thought we'd have a good cup run which was not forth coming. Still a lot closer than your prediction.
