Just looked at our squad of 28
5 aged 19/20
12 aged 23/24
5 aged 25/26
3 aged 27/28
3 aged 30/31

gives an average age of23. Seeing how we kept the bulk of the squad from last season, And hopefully for future seasons, without wholesale changes, you would think we can get a close knit TEAM

It might be close knit.But will it be any good.

Please explain what you mean by "any good"?
This is not trolling or a disparagement of your views

I think we will finish in the bottom four.I just hope we are good enough to finish at nine. I think Fred Done says eleven what do you say.

I guess we will see just how much influence Tim Sheens had. Arguably the squad is better than last season and therefore we should be looking at replicating our 2016 form.

I am pleased we have kept the bulk of players from last season, if ever proof was needed that the players cared you only need to go back to the last game of the season. I am also happy to see problems at other clubs for a change & more than happy that it has been extremely quiet with us having no drama to date.

Do I think we will be a top 8! no I don't, not because I don't rate the current squad, I don't think we have replaced Griffin & not sure we have quality to back up injuries throughout the season, however I am happy to be proved wrong.
Ian Watson for me deserves all the credit he gets, his actual record must as good as any recent coach, if not better, finally one positive I keep seeing is the squad looks like they are enjoying playing at the club & that is a massive plus.

The RLE this morning appeared to be convinced that Willie Poching is joining your coaching staff for 2017.

Tis true.......he's referenced in the comments on Twitter from last night's event.

I think SL is getting so much harder to predict. Who honestly would have expected Leeds and Huddersfield to finish where they did in 2016? I also didn't expect Widnes to start 2016 like a house on fire only to drop off. Wakefield were the surprise team this year and Hull had a great season compared with their usual underperforming standards. I wouldn't like to predict where Salford will finish because injuries and a winning spirit and momentum are so key. The other factor is how well will we perform without a respected figurehead like Tim Sheen's passing on his wisdom? We could finish anywhere from 5th to last depending on circumstances and I wouldn't raise an eyebrow. I think most clubs have key players to do well but it's all about how many they can keep on the field over the season.

dont worry over kr

Tim had no input for the million pound game.
