On paper you have the weakest squad in SL. I think Wakefield and Salford just have a bit more about them.
I've got nothing against Leigh at all. In fact I'd be more than happy to be proven wrong, and in all fairness you've played 3 tough games so far. This week against Salford will tell us a lot more I think.'"
And if Leigh win, you might change your mind.  |

Probably not, but it will be a better indicator than the game against Warrington I'm sure. If you string a few games together then I might.
I have no problem admitting I was wrong when it happens. If you do indeed survive then I shall be on here to congratulate you on staying up. I don't know why you have to be so defensive about it.

To predict so early in the season is preposterous. |

That's what a prediction is, it's having a guess at what we think might happen. If I wait until a side is 10 points adrift before I pick them to go down it's not really pushing the boat out is it.
I take back the bit I said about fully expecting you to go down, it was a hyperbolic statement from me. Yes, if I was going to put money on anyone to be relegated I would choose Leigh, but of course its not a foregone conclusion. I genuinely do hope I'm wrong. I always root for the underdog and if you survive after being admitted at such a late stage with no time to prepare then that's a great achievement. |

Predictions count as nowt. If you think Harry Potter is going to come along and wave his wand. You’re lost. |

In fairness, it was predicted before the season started 
So far, Salford look to be really struggling, along with Trinity and yourselves.
Of those 3 clubs, Leigh have probably most chance to improve, due to signings and getting up to speed in SL but, it's still going to be tough.
At least your Chairman has money to burn, which is less true of Salford, Trinity or KR (the other pre season relegation candidates) - Huddersfield too have been totally underwhelming , but, again, you would expect them to improve.
I thought that Huddersfield would be challenging for a top 4 spot but, they have been bang average so far. |

In fairness, my response was regarding a poster who had Leigh nailed on for relegation after what they'd seen, which was 2 games against Wigan & Warrington. Leigh came very close to beating Wigan too, so yes, their prediction is preposterous.

a run of long term injuries could drag 3 or 4 clubs into the mix,

Re: Salford
New coach, 10 (I think) new players and 3 fixtures to start against the best team in the comp (Saints), a team expected by most to be top 3/4 (Hull) and a team we always get beat by (and usually hammered) away from home (they've also not lost a game between them yet). Whilst the performances haven't been great there are mitigating circumstances. Last year we won 1 out of the first 7 and were every bit as toothless in attack, yet we ended up having a decent season overall.
I'm yet to start pressing the panic button yet as it will take Marshall time to know his best team. The spine is a bit of a concern though as Escare had a 'mare at the weekend and Brown looks like it's one season too far.
Pack wise and back wise we're fine though and I think a win on Friday against Leigh (which won't be easy) could be the kick-start we need.

As opposed to Saints Hull and Catalans away much easier eh ?????
Don't worry about us fella we'll be just fine. |

Well actually your performance against Wigan just made me think even more strongly that you would go down. To put in so much effort like you did and still lose an 18 point lead against a badly misfiring team really didn't bode well.

Yeah right, you mean with key players missing from Leigh as well? I think you need to see what's actually going on before you commit yourself to posting trash. |

I said Wigan were misfiring in that game, I never mentioned their injuries. Yeah Leigh had some players missing, so what? Every team has injuries.
As I said earlier, if you stay up I will congratulate you on doing so, but I don't think you will. I don't know why that really seems to bother you. |

Oh i see, so if a team is misfiring it means the opposition is a dead cert for relegation? I'm lost. |
