A bit of pre-season optimism, you seem like your missus has washed your trousers with Saturday's winning lottery ticket still in your pocket.
All clubs start off the same and then the race to Old Trafford begins, at least wait until you've lost a couple before sounding so down. |

| Quote: Him "I think losing Finch, Leuluai, Carmont & Lima are going to be big losses, especially all at once. Smith & Green I'm sure will do ok but aren't of the same quality as Finch & Leuluai. Carmont was a cracking centre and will be very difficult to replace, there arent many good centres available. If they sign Taylor that might help alleviate the loss of Lima but he's still a big loss to their pack.
I don't think it'll be a disastrous season for Wigan by any means, they've still plenty of very good players, but I think they'll find it much harder than this season.
When you compare to Wire who I think have only lost Solomona, I'd put Wire as favourites for next year.
Well Cas finished 13th this season, only beating Widnes by points difference. I haven't noticed any impressive signings yet from Cas and I think Widnes finished the season in a more positive fashion than Cas. Add in the Rangi Chase situation, rumours of players not getting on with Millward etc and I don't see it as wildly unreasonable for people to predict, at this stage, 13th or 14th for Cas.'"
Absolutely, good post. |

Saints will start brilliantly then collapse about Easter.
Giants are going to be interesting, and I think will surprise a lot of pundits on this thread.

Through being exceptionally good or exceptionally bad?
For me, one of the as-yet unanswered questions is Anderson's coaching. I'd be surprised if, in his first full season, he did more than scarape into the play-offs. |

Wigan have lost some very good players, Hull have made a few good signings, Trent Robinson is a big loss to Catalans, Tony Rea is a good gain for London. Salford and Castleford were awful towards the back end of the season.

By doing well
The quality of players are there to push for top spot, without the ridiculous tinkering of Brown and the whole mess of last season (Both Browns leaving, Moore recruited, no props etc) there is no reason to think that the trademark post Easter slump will happen.
Saints on the other hand, may want to worry... |

Freedom for supporters of the government, only for members of one party - however numerous they may be - is no freedom at all. freedom is always and exclusively for one who thinks differently.

Yes, but i don't see McManus being as patient with Mr. Brown as Ken Davey was. At the first sign of problems it'd be bye-bye time!

was it not a 4 year deal at £200k. That is a lot of money to pay off a contract. NB would not go if you were bottom of the league and lost by 60 points to Gateshead in the CC. |

AFAIK They were looking for investment before "finalizing their squad". This is what was said a few weeks back. |
