Well, apart from people thinking Leeds will finish top, it appears the rest is pretty mixed! Maybe SL is finally evening out?

if crusaders get utai and witt, (nathan cayless turned them down), along with a couple of others, fancy them to finish above quins too

Very surprised but pleasing that people from other clubs seem to be putting Wigan in the top 4 of most of their picks, I'm still unsure as it has been mentioned alot will depend on how we got on with our new coach.

We were going to sign someone but we have some idiots as fans to thank that we didn't as they handed us a 40k fine which put many signings away.

In fairness to clayton his defence was excellent towards the end of last season and he will be competing for the 5th choice second row spot with an academy player called jon davies, so probably wont see too much game time.

Tm has said we still have one more signing to come.

No it didn't, Matterson said back in like May there will only be 3 or 4 signings, so far he's made 3 and there's one more to come - a non fed prop.

You think we weren't going to sign someone else in Claytons place ? That money was going towards a new signing and because of some idiots we haven't got anyone new we've got crap like Ryan Clayton.

One more signing to go, really improving on last years awsome start to the franchising...oh wait...

Edit: Who are our 3 signings ? I've only counted Jackson.

Jackson and Snitch

If you didnt pay much attention to him fair enough, but as someone who did i can tell you his defence was excellent at the end of last season (though its true he offers virtually no go forward.

He's a player that could go well for Celtic but that's it. He doesn't have enough class to be in SL..National League is more his level, he is just a shocking player.

Edit: As for our starting line up it looks strong enough to make 8th. Strength in depth is very poor though in some positions and if we get key injuries 8th could turn into tenth.

1. McGoldrick - Worked on the high ball a lot last year and seems to be doing ok at FB
2. Dixon - Very underated one of our better players
3. Shenton - Need i say anything ?
4. Evans - Too old.
5. Owen - Could turn into a player as good as Shenton this year
6. Chase - Awsome, awsome player.
7. Sherwin - Too old...expect him to play no more than 10 games.
8. Sargent - Good prop.
9. Hudson - Hope his injury doesn't hamper him. Should do well
10. Jackson - Hope he does well.
11. Ferres - Did really well for us last year
12. Snitch - Hopefully can do well
13. Westerman - Needs to improve to prove all the doubters wrong.

Whilst i agree with you that he isnt a player i would have wanted to retain, i will give credit where credits due, his defence was excellent at the end of last season, though as i have already said he offers nothing going forward. clayton competing as he is for the 5th choice second rower position with john davies is the least of our worries.

I think you do evans and sherwin a disservice too, evans played well for us last year was solid in defence but lacked pace. As for sherwin do you have any reasoning for saying he will play the least games a season he has ever played for us|?

I'll tell you what lewis, would you like a wager on whether sherwin plays more than 10 games this coming season? say 20 quid bet, split between the winner and an rl connected charity of your choice (brenan rooney, rfl benevolant, adam watene)?

Don't get me wrong i'm not one of those guys who's negative infact i'm one of the most positive guys that you could find however us retaining Clayton is a very poor piece of business. Evans was one of those players that for me just wasn't good enough and when we came up against half decent teams he went missing.

Sherwin is now what 31 (32 after a month of the season) and has shown that he is really struggling with injury in the latter part of his career. Don't get me wrong (again) when he's fit he makes things happen for us but he's never going to be 100% fit again which makes me think he won't play more than 15 games for us this season.

As for the wager....i was exaggerating a little bit with 10 but i'll take that bet with 15 instead ?

i think your harsh saying he's never going to be fit again (sherwin) he's had some bad luck but theres no reason to believe that he wont be fit next season.

I will take your bet lewis (as long as half of the money goes to charity), i like a man who backs his words.

Even if he has to shift the goal posts a bit
