| Big loss in Hastings, by far and away our best player last season. Hopefully Cust goes some way to replace him, don’t hold out much hope for Field, looks lightweight, lacking in confidence but bags of potential and lightning pace.
Hopefully we get a season out of French.
Gildart of old was a loss, but was a shadow of his former self last year, so in reality the loss of him was the season before last.
Looking forward to Bateman being somewhere near his Aussie form.
I think the one to watch is Ethan Havard, has the potential to be a real monster in SL, hopefully Waney brings that out of him.
I do hope the league becomes more competitive, I think Stains have lost a couple and the quality of replacements remains to be seen. They seem to have been relatively lucky with injuries in recent years and although they’ve won 3 in a row, but 2 of the 3 were by the narrowest of margins…..

| I asked over the phone when i bought mine, we will be getting physical cards this season through the post.
The club also updated in an article a couple of days ago saying the cards will be posted out imminently, so any day now i would imagine.

Well it worked, pre season at Wire 7 hours trip, last night at Hull bit easier as only 6 1/2 hours, would have been less if we didn't turn onto the closed A63 route initially, cost us half an hour. Booked for Friday as well, means a mad dash after work on Friday as it's a 100 mile trip, but the rugby being played is worth it. Nice to have some enthusiasm and excitement for the game again. Last night was the best atmosphere at a game in many years for me.

Yep, it's 75 miles from home to Wigan, an hour from work to home on a friday, and the journey across the Peak District to Wigan is the worst I can think of, but we shall be there somehow! If I go straight from work in Nottingham it's 100 miles, but an easier journey. Hull is all Motorway so dead easy ( so long as the roads are open).
For the first time in years it seems like the effort is worth it for what's on display.
