Quote: Bull Mania "Hard to make predictions with some recruitment still to take place. I'm not one to get angry by predictions (I think we'll finish higher than 8th. But it's going to be such a tough league, if you don't perform, you will find yourselves stringing losses together)
I am baffled by Leigh 2nd though. At this moment in time they have. 18/19 players I think. A fair few young SL players too. Having too many is a disaster in this league as we found out. It's a long season and they still need a fair few signings.
Can make a case for about 8 teams finishing in the play-offs. Fev have lost a load of players, but it depends on which Leeds players they acquire and when. How will York and the Bulls cope with having tough games every week. Widnes, will the fans back them? Can they finally avoid an injury crisis? It will be a cracking league.
My (probably wrong) predictions
1. Toronto
2. Toulouse
3. Widnes
4. Halifax
5. Bulls
6. Fev
7. Leigh
8. York
9. Sheffield
10. Batley
11. Barrow
12. Dewsbury
13. Rochdale
14. Swinton'"
It will be a cracking league mate I've said this for a few months. Hopefully very competitive, it's a bit of an unknown to me at the minute but I'm hoping with a few new signings, good youth coming through and a new coach we will go well.
Our crowds depleted last season and it will be hard to get some back. We've probably sold around 2,000 season tickets so far with an additional 1500 junior tickets given out, hopefully we will break the 4,000 barrier which I will be pleased with.
Looking forward to it.
