I thought bookies knew their stuff.
Those odds seem to be base on recent history rather than looking closely at the squad that has ben put together.

| Quote: TRB "If we happen to finish 12th, but get within a couple of weeks of the play-offs, then there's nothing wrong with that. If we finish 12th with our season over with 6 weeks to go, then that would be poor. I want the season to be full of surprises; competitive games and to be alive with a chance of a play-off place until the end. Anything else would be a bonus. ![]()
Agree that's exactly how I see it.

Odds are based on the factor of risk of an outcome and the exposure to loss due to payouts. It's why odds change.
The odds quoted don't represent where the bookies think clubs will finish, but on how much they will have to cough up.
If no-one bets on Leeds, their odds will slide out. Similarly, if tons of cash is wagered on Trin, the odds will shorten - not because we are any more likely to win, but because of the loss they would take in payouts.'"
Good point, it is effectively a reflection on punter's individual betting. You don't bet on the full list, just which one will finish top. And the opinion is changed by the odds, as it may be more tempting to risk your money at 150-1 even though there is no chance.'"
Yes it is a good point and it's been made umpteen times before.
Come on folks get with it, it's not rocket science ![]()

No whatsoever we just don't need to take it so personal

I take it that these odds are to win the super league
and on past years we haven't so new build team would certainly be against all odds
 be nice to dream though |

Hope the expectation level is kept in check it’s going to take time for the team to gel I think we will see some up and down performances until the players bond as a unit.
I would be over the moon with 8th and happy with 10th next season but knowing Wakey it could be 5th or 13th nothing would shock me
My bet is 10th then the play offs in season 2 under Agar
