Quote: Bully_Boxer "Elima and Hargreaves will be big losses to our pack in my opinion. Overall the pack is weaker but we're probably slightly improved in the backline with Blythe and Foster replacing Ainscough/Pryce/Crookes. Get our strongest 17 out and we look well in the mix for the 8, but 3 or 4 injuries to the key players and we look in trouble. Lets not forget BJ either, he was in superb form for us at times during last season.
Ideally I'd love to see another Prop brought in and perhaps another option at halfback but I just don't think they quality is out there right now. Perhaps some players will unexpectedly become available but if not we'll just have to be patient and get through the season the best we can.'"
Tend to agree with that. Lets face it we're in a lot better shape than we could be given wht we've been through. Other thing that people are overlooking is likes of Bateman,whitehead,Olbison,addy etc being a year older and more experienced. IMO their all better players now than they were at start of last season and that can only help us.
