Quote Saddened!="Saddened!"They have as much chance as anyone at this time of the year. They have started promisingly but it remains to be seen if there is any depth to their squad or whether this initial run is just them rising to the occasion and getting away with it because no one knows anything about a lot of their players.
There are Leeds, Wigan, Warrington, Hull, Hull KR, Saints, Catalans, Wakefield, Huddersfield and Cas who are competing with them for the playoffs. I can see Catalans and Cas struggling but even if they do Crusaders have an enormous task ahead of them to reach the 8.'"
in the end we have a squad of 24 which is ok early doors but unless we recruit some more we will fade. micheal witt seems to have impressed everyone but of course if he gets injured...to be honest 9th will be a very decent outside bet. witt for the goldthorpe medal and elliot kear for rookie of the year isnt too bad a bet though.
Anywhere out of the bottom 2 would be a good improvement, 9th or 10th would be a spectacular improvement. Top 8 might be a step too far this season.
