so with Leigh the squad they have now & the coach training as if we're pro's do you think we're going to be in the bottom four

See what you mean Matt fair point.

How on earth do you work that out? Fax only have a squad of around 19 players and saying Sheffield are stronger than us is laughable. A large number of clubs havent finished recruiting yet including us who will add another 4+ to the squad.

I look forward to Halifax once again finishing with feck all next year.

Can't see Sheff and Fev breaking any pot's TBH, would expect them to be in the mix with us and Widnes for a top 4 finish.
Wouldn't big yourselves up too much as you were caught out a lot towards the end of last season - your coach may find he is out of his depth.

What happend to Leigh at the end of last year? Fax made the grand final and you got......

Saved.

bigging ourselves up? The question is who do you think will finish in the top four. Not a rocket scientist by any long stretch but bright enough to know we will finish in the top four. With the quality we have I'd be dissapointed not to finish in the top two. As for Leigh I don't think you will be in the bottom four but also know your not as good as any of the four teams I've mentioned. Sheffield will be dark horses this season with a stronger team than last year and the leagues best scrum half leading them round the pitch. As for widnes looks like they are hanging their hat on players who won't even be available to play for them every week.

That doesn't make what he said incorrect though.

I agree - but i wouldnt worry about Fax - we wont have the same blip next year - Calland will be a wiser and better coach next year. Id be more worried about Cullen and where your team will end up under him next year.

Top two?

That is a bold statement, you were a good team last year but a lot of clubs have recruited well. You may have recruited some ex superleague players but they aint exactly spring chickens are they? Please don't cite how they went last season as they are now a year older and have been released by they're previous clubs, why do you think that was?. You are also retaining Larder who is mid 30's. Add to that the fact that you have a 17 which tries to accomodate 2 specialist fullbacks and 3 hookers and I reckon you will win nothing again.

I reckon Widnes' sqaud is pretty much up there with anyones in this league prior to any dual reg players coming in.

Not sure what Leigh's performance will be next year, squad looks ok but not one capable of challenging for top honours. Clubs has stated no more big signings so will be up to Millward to work his magic with what you have.

And seeing as people are making predictions, I reckon Barrow will win the lot next year, maybe even CC aswell.

King cull has already masterminded a semi final beating and a stobarts hammering of Halipoo. Calland is not experienced enough to mix it with Cullen and Millward.
