Once again your poor knowledge of the game, and lack of research seems to be your downfall doesn't it? Do you really watch other teams play apart from Leeds? Look, Winning the Challenge Cup, and being in the playoffs wasn't a fluke you know. FYI - Leigh have strengthened their squad in the off season, and won't be an easy pushover to anyone. Your remark sounds like you're a jealous type of person to me. You might have spent a lot of money on your squad but, Let's see if you can play in a unified way regularly, and get results.

I kind of agree.
I think we'll be better, but we won't win anything.
Top 3 will be Wigan, Saints and Cats - we're a way off that yet.
London, Cas, Salford and Hudds will be bottom 4.
The other 5 places could honestly be in any order.
I think we'll probably finish 5th or 6th.

We're already up against it in the pack with potential injuries for round one!
But I am very much looking forward to seeing the new faces.

Recency bias my friends - just because a team finished in xth place last year means little for this year. Injuries for one have a huge impact on SL teams, because we don’t have anything like the depth of NRL teams, who tend to be a bit more resilient.

For what it’s worth I think Cats are on the sink a little bit and Saints too. There is room for some changing of the guard.

Leeds are in with a shout of winning something this year but if a couple of key players suffer injuries we will struggle. Who knows. I don’t think we were too far off last year at times with a fully fit team, and the side is stronger this term.

Should be a good season I’m looking forward to it.

Maybe so Jim.
I'm just leaving the rose tinted glasses in the drawer for now...
Too many false dawns over recent years.
But I agree, can't wait for the season to start and see how we get on.

I think our first 17 are a match for anything in the league. Our conditioning looks good.

I think we will make less errors this year and be able to apply pressure much better. We’ll see how we perform in adversity but.. I think Leeds will be different gravy and most importantly we’re on the right path for further improvement now.

Be rose tinted you only live once.

Too light/ one dimensional in the forwards for me to think we will win silverware or get in top 3 ( unless the top 3-4 teams have big injury/ ban issues throughout the year.

I do think top 4/5 is a good aim and a good run in play offs / CC.
With a whole new spine,RS odd Tactical choices and injury clouds over Newman / fusi/ so on it will take time for the side to gel.

We do lack some strike in the pack but actually we’re pretty balanced. We have some big bodies in there and some skill too. We can’t afford too many injuries to key players but - like I said most sides are in a similar boat there in SL.

Miller at the back is going to be interesting. What I’ve seen so far is a skilful player at the line who will create and score tries for us, but he needs to learn the conditions better and make better choices at times. I think he’ll settle.

Need to give the lads time to settle. But we still should expect some early wins. A poor start shouldn’t be tolerated. Miller will need time to settle I think when the ground firms up he’ll fly

Possibly down to question marks over Smith and being a good prop short. But yes I’m glad we’re not fancied.. always suits us

Tbf there were times last year where we showed we can compete.

Progress to me is as much about consistency than anything else and I think that’s what the signings in the spine have been aimed at.

Just letting Austin go alone will make us more consistent. We have upgraded every spine position in one go; I’d expect the rest of the side to look better off the back of that.

Really looking forward to see Mom play for us. Maybe after such a big injury last year and his proven quality, they just decided not to risk him in pre-season.

Wigan look clear favourites for me with Saints probably next in line. Outside that Leeds should really be focused on being competitive in finishing somewhere between 3rd and 6th. If we were 5th or 6th but only 4 points off 3rd that's probably progress however if we are say 10 points behind 3rd place that's not great considering the investment. The aim should be winning 60% plus of our games.

In reality if we have defeats the knives won’t be slow to reappear from some; for me I’ve already seen enough in pre-season to give me some confidence we will be better than last year.

No excuses for this side to end up in the bottom half of the league barring some biblical injury crisis.

We have too good a squad to struggle this year. Should be going into every game with a genuine belief we can win it…..

Im not sure Saints are next in line, Wigan are favourites but after that the next 4/5 places are up for grabs
