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.

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

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.

Overestimating your own side whilst underestimating Rovers, what a shock
