Wash your mouth out, son.

For me Rovers got a little lucky during last season which definitely helped them. Last season was a total farce as some teams called games off while others fielded weaker sides so it was a very lopsided league table.
It’ll certainly be interesting to see how they go this year, though the way some are talking you’d think they were in the GF already. Backing up previous exploits is always difficult as expectations are raised.

The thing is Neil Hudgell has already said getting to a play off eliminator is their baseline now, so anything less than a GF could be constituted as failure.

I think the league table will have a very similar shape to last year and we'll need some real injury luck to make the playoffs given our lack of depth. Fascinated to see how Cas go under Radders.

I’m not sure what the league table will be like compared to last season to be honest because last season was just a joke really due to the uneven number of games played and the different teams that some clubs ended up playing. Plus there’s been a few coaching changes and player changes around so all in all it’s going to interesting but think after round 10 a picture will emerge. The only certainty I think is St’s & Catalan will be the top 2.

Like you I’m interested to see how Cas get on under Radford though not expecting them to rip up trees so to speak.

I’m not expecting miracles for us other than improvement and if we can stay away from too many injuries during the season and keep Gale/Reynolds on the pitch for the most part think we might surprise a few.
