I would expect us to beat Catalans, Hudds, Widnes, London, Cas, Wakey, Hull, Salford, Wakefield at home. With a chance of beating Leeds too. I would expect to go to Widnes, London, Cas, Wakey and Salford and win. Thats 30 points as a minimum expectation. Good enough for the 8 last season. The season will be made or broken by how we perform against the top 4.

Hence the reason most of our fans are deluded. Why would u expect to beat Catalan, hudds, cas and hull at home? They are all good sides who we shouldn't expect to just beat.

Think we will be an early leader and a bit of luck on the injury front we could finish in the top 3.
I would be worried if I was a Huddersfield, St Helens and Hull FC fan due to poor recruitment and the loss of key players. Whilst we have lost Vella and Newton we have good replacements (on paper) and a far better full back. Clinton, Mika, Paea, Taylor, Watts, Cox, Wheeldon, Lovegrove, O'Hara and Galea as the power up front and the best half back combo in SL we are looking strong. With Webster and welham in the centres and 2 very good wingers on the outside of them we are looking good. The players I am looking forward to seeing the most are Withers and Hall, Hall this year as the first choice winger will be our top try scorer. Withers play around the ruck will give us a new dimension to last year.

St Helens where 3rd this year winning 3 games more than Rovers, With the form at the end of the season we should have been up there this year. The facts are we lost 5 games we should have won and that would be 3rd.

You're knocking the lad for predicting a good Rovers season, I'm not as convinced myself - I'd prefer to write us off as having a gap year and welcome whatever success we have. What I do find funny, is that while your all laughing at plugwash for his Rovers predictions, your failing to realise that he's also predicted Wire as finishing first, that won't happen and in my opinion, is funnier than Rovers finishing 3rd.
