I’m not expecting a top 5 finish next season- but I’m not expecting to finish in the bottom three either. Or to be in a position of uncertainty towards the end of the season..... all dependant on our injury list.

We were 4 wins off cas, take into account, three 1 point losses and a golden point defeat, all with a depleted inexperienced squad, and it all could of ended different.
With the additions what's to say we can't be successful, apart from saints, all the other teams are fairly evenly matched.

Tend to agree with this, the league was so tight outside of Saints last season it is genuinely hard to predict - A bit of luck with injuries and most teams could push to stake a claim for that top 5.

Negatives

Leroy = No part in preseason. Had yet another op and wont be fit for the start of the season
Jerry = On International duty and then having an op. Will not take much part in preseason
Matagi = Wont be back until xmas
Gavet = Wont be here until xmas
Edwards = Wont be here until xmas
Turner = Still injured, not sure when hes back training
Uate = Not coming back until xmas apparently.

Positives

Have made 3 good signings so far
All youngsters will have had another pre season and should be better

My main worry is the lack of Senior players in the first 2 months of preseason and how fit the overseas boys will be all coming back that late. Who particularly are the young backs meant to learn off?

Shout out to Seb and Taai who have been in pre season since day 1.

Hope we get Seb back to his best, if we had enough props he would be devastating in the second row in shirt spells.

We need to keep Gaskell fit again this year if we go with the team we have at the moment, I worry for us without him, nothing against the other halves, they're just not in the same bracket as Gaskell yet!

I expect Toronto to be a decent side, HKR are making lots of signings so next season is looking like its going to be very competitive. We will need to keep players fit to stay away from the relegation zone, but then that could be said of a lot of clubs.

Kr don’t seem to have recruited brilliantly, although they do appear to have taken on a great number of new signings. Toronto haven’t, as yet, announced any signings have they?

Time will tell with KR, but Smith is a top coach and has clearly gone for a bigger squad to create competition for places. I'm sure Toronto will be making moves to sign players, plus their squad is hardly on the same level as London's was when they got promotion.

Being reported that Salford are after Seb.

Salford will have a huge side next year if so, with their already big pack they will have added Pauli and Seb!

None of our forwards are huge. Taai is the biggest.

Matagi, Seb, Walne, Clough are all very small props
