Rubbish, injures are part of it, but I’d say there are 5 clubs in with a chance of lifting the trophy. |

and without wishing to derail the thread further, for clarity I didn't say our new coach would succeed because he's "making the right noises" all I asked was on what basis the poster thought that he wouldn't see the season out? |

That’s true, but it’s not the same as the team with the least number winning. |

Warrington Wolfs - 0
Wakefield Trinity - 0
Leigh Centurions - 0
[quote="Budgiezilla":3w2ur1db]Surely it can only be a player from Catalans. Probably the best RL side I have ever witnessed in this season's comp.[/quote:3w2ur1db]: |

Bradford won super league years ago on the back of probably the worst injury list ever seen

Yes seriously' take a look at their respective strike rates and given that he’s the incumbent and will be a team the start of the new season the shirt is MCBs to lose, as it should be.
That’s how I see it
MCB is a left wing not right.
In your spirit of being critical of others, do you seriously think Jowitt will replace Grix?

I think TJ will be the first name on the team sheet myself. |

Don't they have humour in your world?
Thats what the smiley at the end was for.
Yo're still talking rubbish though - no sane person would leave TJ out - he's better than BJB and way better than MCB who was dropped in favour of Tupou for a while after the Hudds showing. 
Seriously though if I were coach TJ would be the first player on the team sheet let alone winger - he's a pure winner and entertainer. |

I agree with you about TJ being a winner and entertainer but he’s also been out for months with a serious injury, during that time MCB has been outstanding bar maybe one game.
If Johnstone had score s some of those long range acrobatic try’s that MCB scored we’d be raving about them.
It’s MCBs shirt to lose IMO and Johnstone Willie have to bide his time till his opportunity arises as MCB did last year. It will no doubt happen and Tom will take his opportunity I’m sure of it.
Jowitt for Grix?
In all honesty, Hooly is likely to get the gig before Max, he’s a better player.

You may be right about hooley however I think Max deserves another chance certainly at the start of the season if he does OK in the friendlies - he's no TJ though I realise that. |

| Quote: Egg Banjo "Even Chester hasn't been able to set his first choice 17 at Trinity yet. 3 players all vying for the fullback spot
He's spot on about strength in depth - there are maybe two or three players in that squad who are not really ready for SL but even those are quality youngsters. We have at least 25 players who could command first team a number of whom are genuine quality players which ain't half bad on our budget.
It will be fun seeing if it works or not. I can see Wakefield at the GF or the CCup this year but unfortunately I can also still see us slugging it out in the million pound game. Still that applies to a number of clubs so at least it's nice to no longer be the total no hopers.
Cue Lebron

And then youngsters:

I'm quite happy with that - we have enough established players to cover positions in case of injury and some quality youngsters waiting in the wings.

carefull now, Wakey always over achieve, better tio be no hopers and finish 5 than predict 5-6 and finish bottom.
wakefy really should have finished 3-4th last year, but blew it/unlucky. it will be harder this year to get to the same spot. Leeds Cas wakey Hull wigan saints catalan warrinington will all be in the mix for the top 4 spots.
