Spot on Dabhand 're your post and in particular the last sentence.I would guess most fans agree and that's what's so disappointing that this hasn't been addressed in the close season.Poor recruitment by the club has certainly left me underwhelmed.

Hull will give us a tough game but the key is to silence their fans in the Threepenny Stand.We have to do this because if we do'nt they will get behind their side and lift them in a way you've never seen,heard or witnessed before.

How on earth do you come to that conclusion! You may well make the top 5 but by god there is some fierce competition from 1 -8 imho so if you do make it you will have plenty of hassle! Only London look unlikely to trouble the top five, even Salford and HKR have a punchers chance.
It will be a tough year for all IMHO and if you enter the season with that attitude you're just inviting trouble.

There's only him with that attitude. I think top 3 is nailed on between Saints, Warrington and Wigan. London aside I think positions 4-8 are anybody's.

I think Wigan could struggle this season without wane Bateman and Tomkins

Because now that I have put the end of last season behind me and been able to think rationally about it, I still think only 2 or 3 sides have a better squad than us. And last season we spent most of the year in the top 5 despite the injuries and hurdles we faced. I honestly aren't concerned about the way the season ended, we were battered and bruised (mentally as well as physically) and had nothing left to play for. If we have our fair share of injuries I am certain we will make the playoffs. Bookmark it if you want. It's only my opinion.
You are dead right about the competitiveness though. There aren't going to be many easy games this year.
