We just need some injury luck in general / keep Newman + fusi on the pitch for more than 40-50% of games.

The spine os quality and will gwt better and better as the season progresses.
Just need the forwards to hit hard and direct so our faster/skillful/ support players can get on the front foot.

Finishing 5th or 6th ? That might be the case, personally if that happens I would consider it a failure. Looking at the money we have spent and the players we have brought in I would expect to finish 3rd or 4th at least. I agree we won’t win anything ,only hope is a kind challenge cup draw and a cup final appearance.

5th and a good crack at the playoffs is a minimum, lower and there's cause for reflection on whether the set up is right going forward. I've every hope we are on the right track and will achieve that.

I'd take top 6 as long as we aren't miles off the top. the cup you simply can't predict. wigan away first and lose by a point could hardly be considered a failure.

1-3 would be a very good year, anywhere below 6 poor given the investment. What would be really good to see would everyone playing to a good standard, something we've not seen in ages.

Top 4 for mine otherwise Rohan goes. I want to see consistency in performances and results more than anything. No more win one match, lose the next one.

Top 4 and enjoy watching the game and all players trying all the time.
Don’t mind drop balls or brain explosions.
Want to be jumping out of my seat and having fun rather than going and getting bored.

Many saw it as a failure last year though and used it against Smith. Acting like we had been knocked out in the first round by Hunslet.

I fancy Wigan for the treble.
Saints, Catalans, Leigh and possibly Wire along with us fighting the other places.
4th or 5th and playing some decent rugby would do for me.
Anything below that and I would be asking why although I do think we are a good prop short.

I don't understand people sing we won't win anything, it's not like we're Cas or Salford. Our starting 13 should be competing every week, and we've actually got some decent squad depth. Granted, not players you'd want to have to rely on for a chunk of the season. But inherit injuries will play a huge part, and Wigan have the WCC of course, which could knock them off the pace for a while. Our signings are as good as anyone's and we have the strongest spine for a long time. If lady luck has decided to smile on us, we should be in thr mix. And it's not like SL is the highest quality it's ever been. Hopefully last season taught Rohan a lot, and he uses that this season. He's still a young coach, but has shown signs of having the attributes to be successful. There's chinks in all the teams, so I'm pretty optimistic

We not guaranteed to win any match, but we should this year be a lot more competitive and entertaining.
Like you i want to be excited by the brand of rugby we play and yes i do want us to win every game, but that isn't going to happen.

We definitely need some luck with injuries, and let's be honest we are due some. If the spine can avoid long term absence and the pack can perform well as a unit I think we can finish as high as third. Realistically I think 5th is more likely.

We lost a fair few narrow games last year before dummies got spit by some players and the wheels fell off.

At this level the small margins make a big difference. Even beating HKR in that friendly - could have seen us losing that last year.

We should be in the mix for finals and trophies this season. Wigan do look quality and with a good coach. I do think we can rattle their cage with this team though.

Given the spend and revamp we should be aiming for top four with room to spare. We were competitive with sts and Wigan for most of last year with an awful spine. But we lost a lot of other games. That needs to change.
Injuries may intervene but that's true for everyone.

Think it’s wide open this year. I don’t think Wigan as good as people reckon. Saints not as strong either as recent years. We should be right in the mix. Anything else would be a poor season imho….
