Looks like the middle 8s will really difficult this year, with Leeds hitting form, Huddersfield have got international class players, Salford have a decent team, and I'd rather play Hull KR than Castleford.

I can only see one team being promoted if that, however it will be really really difficult. We've lost a lot of players due to Rowleys interventions which doesn't help.

We'll need to sign about 5 / 6 players if we do get promoted to ensure we're competitive, I'm just not sure were they're coming from.

1. Smith / McNally
2. Higson / Pownall
3. Worthington / Whiting / Harper (Keep him on for back up)
4. Armstrong / SL Class Centre needed
5. Kay / SL Class Winger needed
6. SL Class SO / Ridyard
7. Drinkwater / Reynolds
8. SL Class Prop / Moimoi / Hopkins
9. Higham / Hood / Foster (Keep him on for backup)
10. Weston / Acton / Spencer
11. Hansen / SL Class Second Row
12. Hock / Dixon
13. Patterson / SL Class Back Row

Out

Emmitt (Liar)
Maitua (Legend)
Tonga (shocking signing!)
Beswick (Toronto?)
Barlow (Unknown)
Burns (Might get snapped up by someone else)

We will need more than that .
Emmitt
Kay
Pownall
Moi moi
Beswick

Off to Toronto ..

Higson ..not sl standard
Higham ..might hang his boots up if he gets us up.
Riddy .. Not sl standard might be off anyway
Foster.. To light weight needs more time at championship
Harper.. Rubbish leave him at barrow or where ever
Barlow.. Cut free to much of a loose cannon.

So really we need a major rebuild to stay in super league if we get there and it's a VERY BIG If.

Is Kay & Moimoi confirmed as going? When do you think all the annoucements will be made, at the end of the year? I though Moimoi signed a 2 year deal, saying that it doesn't mean much nowadays...

If you look on there Twitter they anonced Kay months ago Fui is yet to be anonced but can't blame him he has nothing to prove .

Moimoi is well worth another year if he wants it. After a slightly underwhelming 2015 he has been excellent this season.

Brings the entertainment value too. The crowds love him and there is no finer sight than Fuifui bursting through the line and leaving a trail of players on the floor!

I don't understand why they want to go to Toronto when they could potentially playing Super League next year, they must be paying high wages!

Sau
Griffin
Vidot
Lui
Kopczak
Tomkins
Griffin
Murdoch Masila
Jones
Flanagan

Kenny
Walne
Huaraki
J Walne

Will be a good comp like last year.

You'd have an even stronger side in the 8's, with thirteen men on the pitch, plus 4 subs! icon_wink.gif

I think if you somehow by miracle managed to get in to SL you could probably add about 4 or 5 players and although likely to finish in the bottom 4 would still have enough to beat the best Championship clubs. To compete though and even sneak in to the top 8 in SL Im honestly not sure you have many, if any, players that are good enough.

Nothing changes if it stays the same.

Bet you would not have had a bet on Leeds to finish bottom of Superleague or Leicester to be Champions at footie.

Talking to Derek at a Miners a while ago I asked about Fui, his contract is up at the end of the year but he wants to do another year & retire playing for Tonga in the World Cup at the end of 2017. He's been playing well this year, I hope we give him another year especially if he's going to be playing for an international call up.

It's going to be very tough in the Qualifiers this year. I do think our only hope is to beat all the Championship teams & get in the Million Pound Game, then it all comes down to 80 min and we'd have to take our chance.

If Leigh London Bradford and Festherstone win next Sunday there will be some interesting matches the following week. Hope it happens

Fui could play his final international stint from anywhere in the world..Did Derek tell you that.
