That's my thinking. I suspect that there's only us, Bradford, Leigh and possibly Fev (although they've had their problems with a dodgy owner recently) who are seriously interested in promotion. Sheffield are waiting on their new ground and the rest don't appear to have the potential support (corporate as well as at the gate) for SL.

Not a suprise that Bradford are odds-on, but a suprise that Leigh are 2/1 and we are 4.5/1

But as said in another post, Leigh had a great season, retained and enhanced. We had a bad season, created afresh with good quality for the lower grades. Still think us and Leigh will be fighting it out, and Bradford have all the pressure heaped on them, whereas we want to earn the right to win football matches and be in the mix at the end of the season.

Full time, good characters, good attitudes, good local talent, vocal support, etc is what we seem to have and Leigh have that two. But they are not leagues ahead of us. I will be putting a sneaky bet on us, just to show my support for our new team.

Any updated thoughts on our 3rd fav prediction

Currently sat 10th after 3 games 2 of which were on the road

I'd give it a couple more games to see how things pan out - there's a long way to go yet.

Very true - winning ( just) against Donnie and losing away at Leigh were not wholly unexpected results. Hopefully a win next weekend and that shocker at Sheffield will start to look more like an aberration!

We still have a 100% home record!

What do the bookies know about rugby league? They gave Workington +2 last week against Doncaster and Workington won 33 - 6. !!

Hmm. Fourth with Ladbrokes which currently is a surprisewe're that high up

I suppose they're looking at the whole season and reasoning that at some point, full-time players superior fitness has got to become a factor.

I would be amazed if London finished above Fax and Sheffield, I think you are looking more like 6th.

Totally agree with that my blue and white friend
.
can only see
Fulham, London, Broncos, quins,London again ....oops sorry, who is it now, London
only reaching 6th at best.

never underestimate this division...
there is life outside super duper league.....
proper rugby, grass roots rugby.......

You should probably go see someone about that chip on your shoulder.

How is Tom Gilmore playing, as Kevin Brown is injured for a month.

Was good v Workington, scored a try & kicking game was decent.

Top prospect

Cheers mate the lad has been unlucky over the last 18 mths with injury. Hopefully all behind him now, and i dont think he could be called back due to a months loan. Not sure on Betts intentions as has Craven and Gore out on dual with Whitehaven. On the games seen i prefer Gore and Gilmore.
