| Its a long season and favorites or not you lot havent got a bad team of players and looking a some of the other teams they also look very strong aswell. Lets hope for some good matches i do hope we hit the ground fast as i would personally like to win the NRC this season.
With Fax been to both which would you fans like to get to if you could only choose one and how well do you think you will do?

I think we have a lot of catching up to do this season so maybe we will miss out on the NRC which is the one I want to go to again and win!
Its a wholesale change at Fax this season on and off the field and it will take time but I believe we will benefit in the long term, so watch out!

Although it peed it down all day at the 2011 NRC final it was a cracking atmosphere at Blackpool before & during the match. I do feel the atmosphere at 2009 & 2010 GF's have been less enjoyable. Customer service at the HJ on finals day has been dreadful as well, parking is rubbish.

| How quickly we can gel as a team will be key this season obviously Fev are very strong and will be the team to beat but on paper they are not stronger than us but last week we looked anything but a good side lets just hope that we click as a team sooner rather than latter. Leigh will be top 3 this year me thinks.

Given a choice, I'd genuinely prefer to win the Northern Rail again than reach the Grand Final, absolutely terrific venue and the games seem to be much better as well (especially last year ![Wink icon_wink.gif](images/smilies//icon_wink.gif) )
As for Fev, they couldn't beat Hull's kids, whereas our reserves have just beaten Wigan's first team 42-16! ![Wink icon_wink.gif](images/smilies//icon_wink.gif)

Matt - We played our 23's with 2 or 3 first team players.
It'll be close between Leigh, Fax & Fev - It'll be an exciting season as Sheffield, Batley and now Keighley will be trying to improve even more.
I think this will be best Championship league campaign it's been in a few years. It'll take a superb team to win it.
Good luck all.

Then your two or three first teamers are bloody useless Chris!
Set for one hell of a season, I think Hunslet may be pinpointed as the weak link but even Dewsbury and York have had decent pre-season results and recruited well, and Swinton will fancy their chances as well.

Looking at the Wigan board it was the reserve side.Friendlies teams can start fast and others slow and I would not look too much into friendlies.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

You're up early Andy - early morning or late night mate?!
It was the pies under 20's with a sprinkling of older players (Gelling, Dudson) but we genuinely had 8 under 21's in our starting 13 with a couple more youngsters off the bench so it's certainly fair to say that we weren't at 'full strength' either.

Hi Matt I like to keep in touch with the championship as I think a decent standard.I may do some Scouting for Widnes. ![Laughing icon_lol.gif](images/smilies//icon_lol.gif) I was working nights mate.
