Havent a clue where we'll finish. If Orford and the other signings gel and a couple of the younger players make great progress we could do well. Equally we are very vulnerable if we pick up a few injuries, put too much pressure on the youngsters and the new signings disappoint. Could be anywhere between 3rd and 10th.

Injuries caught up with us at the end of last season plus we had the misfortune of getting to the CC final. losing Brown was what killed us with him being our main creative player

You need to look at the recruitment of teams to see whether they have strengthened. Hull Bradford and Catalans all seem to have got better quality as do Wire and Wakefield. Hull KR and Cas do not sem any stronger

From our first team we have only lost jackson, Fulton and Moore. But Lunt will be better than moore. Incoming we have got Fa alogo and Gilmour as well as Drew, Grix and Horne.

Qualitively we have improved and in depth we have improved. we now have 3 creative players in the squad so can cope with injuries better. the only area we are light in is that we need another prop.

I am looking forward to us winning the first match of the season against you partiularly on SKY.

You will be a better team when all your players have played together for a while so i would expect you to have a better second part of the season than start.

Here's mine

1. Bradford
14. = Castleford
14. = London
14. = Crusaders
14. = Saints
14. = Salford
14. = Huddersfield
14. = Wigan
14. = Warrington
14. = Hull FC
14. = Catalans
14. = Hull KR
14. = Wakefield
14. = Leeds

You heard it here first

I think we'll get in the top 4 if Orford and all the big players stay fit and they gel quickly but i was optimistic about last year and look what happened

Whatever, you're game got found out and now you're using the challenge cup as an excuse for it., and as it will be the same this year you won't take teams by surprise like last year and you wont beat us 1st game either.

1 . leeds
2. Saints
3. warrington
4 . Crusaders
5. hull fc
6. hull kR
7. Bradford
8. castlford
9. Wakefield
10 huddersfield
11 salford
12 catalans
13 wigan
14 harlequins

leeds v bradford in final

So many imponderables atm. Will Reardon rediscover fitness and form, who will play full back, will Sykes provide a better tackling performance, will the young players be able to step up to regular spots etc etc.
So many intangibles atm. Will we get injuries to key players and how would we cope, how have other teams improved their squads.

For me I think the "big" question is can we improve our game performance throughout the whole team
working together.
And this IMO depends on Macca drawing on the massive experience of Orford, Kearney and Menzies in particular to design game plans and put them into effect. They can also infuse a winning mentality and work ethic both on the field and off it.
These are guys with top of the tree tactical awareness so if Macca works in conjuncion with them I can reasonably see a much reinvigourated bulls team and a top 4 finish.

Ah yes, the CC cup was your excuse for failing to do the double over a very poor Bradford team last season wasn't it.

Err, I dont really know where to start
Probably just need to say that you would get long odds on Crusaders at 4, and seruous emnity from the Wigan fans

Stick to posting links.

Personally I reckon it was because they were e, and the week they got found out by the Bulls and recieved a beating they never recovered from. Do you think that the excuse for losing in the cup final is because they were concentrating on the challenge cup final, or because Wolves had seen that their simple average game could be easily exploited and they exposed their frailities?

The Huddersfield you see next year will be the Huddersfield of always, e, boring and mediocre.
4TH place, LMFAO, absolutley no chance in Hell, I'll make 1 bet within my budget with anybody that Huddersfield dont even make the top 6, and 1 bet that Bulls finish above the Giants.

Don't count your chickens before they're hatched. I do think they'll be worse than last year, but we really need to improve.

There's no way the Bulls will not improve on last season. That's as high as it gets for Huddersfield though. They are .

I agree with the first, but the second is doubtful. I think that they will do worse than last year, but they could be the surprise package again, you never know.

They won't be, they'll finish 7th or below.
Their surprises have worn out, everybody knows what they are about and as we saw towards the back end they are a piece of to deal with. There's nothing new to come from Giants this season, I can assure you.
