I may be a tad optimistic but i'm expecting L'Estrange Diskin Langley and Koppy to be okay.

manese and pryce can't (yet) be classed as first team players.

Elima is obviously a big loss but we do have sufficient cover for the rest of the positions. We should be able to compete with the cats at least

Who is this bird ,is she a sutherner?What gives her the write to print this rubish ? So she got lucky last season with some pridictions. Its a disgrace exgreat players like Gary Schoefield cant get jobs with sky. she should stick to talking about babies changing.

chill out everybody, if she is as wrong with her prediction this year as she was last year for us (her wild card - 6th), we will be 3rd or 4th (and Cats will 9th or 10th). and oh dear Broncos, watch out as they are her wild card this year. What is curious is for the other teams she goes into detail about ins and outs and other relevant factors in her predictions, then says nothing at all about us such getting the half back we have needed plus more backs and it being Potters 2nd year, just waffle, so you wonder what research she did. rather you don't as it was clearly nothing.

My left @rse cheek knows more about rugby than her -_-

I think we should all send her a tweet asking her to explain this $hite !! LAST - dont talk soft. Woman, know your place

To be fair she's entitled to her view, let's be honest we're a bit biased and if the the team don't use this to do a "Kevin Sinfield" in proving her and others wrong then there's something not quite right.

Roll on the season where we can hopefully remind her of her prediction at the end of the season when we make the eight and win the challenge cup.

If you're going to send something in twitter keep it polite, lets not drag down the name of the club

I asked her on twitter to take on a £10 bet. If bulls finish in top 8, i win, otherwise she wins.

She was really polite actually, tweeted back and said, make it £1 and we're on......

So now the team better not let me down, i now have money on this season, lol.

So if Dave Woods has us to finish 11th the assumption would be that he believes we have a worse squad than the last 2 seasons where we finished 10th? either that or the teams around us have significantly improved...?

I don't believe they have and i firmly believe we have better quality in the squad than the last 2 seasons.

Again lazily written off.

We will probably have the usual stuttering start to the Season, but hopefully by Easter the Squad will be more settled and good Team performances starting to take shape, by late June if the level of injuries especially to key players are low for a change I would expect the Bulls to get a winning roll on and get to the Playoffs on the back of a continuing good run, then its up to Them, Fate, rub of the green and less dodgy Reffing at key moments in the game.

I can't predict any further as my Crystal Ball has steamed up!

Having only heard or read odd bits from Powers but had the pleasure of these boards for over 10 years, I am pretty clear where the vast majority of [is[/ihite is spouted.

Sounds like some already did. Pretty abusive stuff.

Yet your happy to insult those clubs - what with your assumed superiority based on things that happened many moons ago. Get real, someone has to be tipped for bottom and you are as goo a choice as any - hurts don't it.
