Not too many changes to our squad, but if Moon can provide some spark from the centre channel, he's got to be a better defender than Ratchford, so there's an improvement. Jordan James is a better defender than Cashmere, but I don't see him making as many yards. Then there's all the younger forwards, who need to start producing a good match more than once or twice a season. Jewitt and Sidlow have something special, but they need to add some consistency and hardwork. Finally we have Feka and Vinnie Anderson, two players that can really make a team spark, but were well off the pace most of last season.
I think you're right about the group that has the potential to go either way! Knowing Salford we'll be the team that doesn't produce.'"
I think wakey and cas will finish around the 8/9 position, they are 2 very similar teams in terms of playing strengths and weaknesses. Maybe with cas having the slightly stonger squad - due to the fact they have recruited and retained players whereas wakey had the administration issues last year and lost players / recruited on a shoestring budget.
One thing for sure is the game sunday will give both coaches are where they need to be. I'd liike to see us both going well and maybe both sneaking into the playoffs!!!'"
Sorry if I offend, and I'm only going off Cas's early season form in 2011, but I think Cas have the better first choice squad. Wakey no doubt have more quality in their ranks this season, but I'm not convinced Agar can pull them together. I fear Widnes, Wakey, Salford and London (if they get a few injuries) could be in for a long and not so pleasant season.
I could be wrong, usually I am, but the rest of SL has better strength in depth. Then again Outside the top 3 many teams are looking short on quality, outside of their first seventeen. At Salford I can only think of two/three backs to call on with SL experience, if we get any injuries. Not so bad in the forwards, but the first seventeen still needs to prove themselves.
