Until we lost Bateman and Heath I thought we looked stronger. Now, if Gaskell is going to 6, our entire left side is changed.

If Roger is right and we're signing another couple, then I'll say 8th.

We should be above London ( if they are still going) and Wakey ( who seem to have lost even more of their squad than us) , didn't do well against Widnes last year and shared the points with Cas . So without amymore off field problems 10th.

Who's that then?!

If i'm right i'll let you know

What position???

7th. He said already.

I still think we are in with a chance of a playoff finish even with the loss of Bateman and Lestrange.

Psst.

I think your avatar pic could do with an update! (...and then there was 1...)

What is it? It doesn't show on the phone.

I ment what position does the players he's heard we're signing play

Khan, Sutcliffe, Bateman and Cummins.

Anyway. we'll either finish 5th or in the Championship.

If we can get to 9th with two props and one and a half half backs for most of last season then I predict we will go one better with 8th with a squad that has more experienced players than last year more props more half backs and a bit more bulk. there is of course the issue of which "always injured so get rid of now" player will come good. whoever it is has big shoes to step into, Langley and Scruton the last two victims/victors. My hope is that all three candidates, Diskin Purtell and Sidlow, share joint honours. Ok I know that only Diskin has had hard lines on this forum, but for Purtell it was implicit in his lack of selection in the starting 17, and Sidlow its just a wish of mine as I want four fiery frontline props firing all season.
