The Castleford squad looks good to me. Not sure why Catalan are getting the bird (not Dion or Greg) but I have a feeling in my water that if things go down the slope at the iconic stadium, there may be other players worth a punt to predators. Sammut may still happen. 11th place for mine.

Well as usual you've written you're own side off, so that means will do OK then.

No I'm not convinced by Widnes either.

Wow, I think you are a long way off with Wakefield not winning a game.
We might not be top 8 but we will beat some teams, I am confident in that.

Didn't even notice the won't win a game bit, like you say wow, just wow. It's his peroative but it's a regular thing since I joined anyway is for Belly to talk his team down and others up.

Let people write us off, like they always do. Still, no wooden spoon for us (yet)

We've not even seen our imports such as Godinet,Anderson and Ryan play for us so how can we make that judgement? Godinet looked good in RLWC2013.

Plus we've probably got Siejka coming at the end of the month. I'd like us to keep Lee Smith for depth in the backs plus him and Collis should go well together barring injury.
I'm not expecting top 8 but you never know...we've some reason to be positive from what we've got on paper. I'd love it if we beat Salford... Could you see RA doing this?.....







Removed, no links to youtube thanks.

El Rey.

Not bothered about the top as we won't be involved, so:

9. Wakefield Trinity
10. Hull Kingston Rovers
11. Widnes
12. Castleford
13. Bradford
14. London

Think it might take us a week or two to get going but I've got a feeling we'll surprise a few.

I'm not a massive fan of Lee smith but he was an experienced centre and I didn't realise how good a kicker he was until last year. We would have beaten Wigan at home last year if he had stayed on the pitch. I just think it is far too late in the day to be losing a player of his ilk. However, MC said there is players still to come in so what do I know. There could be a more than capable replacement already lined up. As plenty of people have pointed out smith never really seemed to really be bend his back for the team.

I don't see how people can write us off when they haven't even seen our new players in action yet and they all seem to a decent pedigree. Those 10 to 13 spots look hard to call with us in there somewhere. I'm still not convinced by this strength in depth which Cas are talking about. Their best signing imho is the coach Powell.

I think you are correct with these clubs filling the bottom 6 spots but, the million dollar question will be the final league standings.
I actually think that Cas and KR will be better than the other 4 so, bottom 4 as follows:

Widnes
Wakefield
Bradford
London

The season will be uncomfortable viewing, just as Kear's last season in charge and expect plenty of rants and scapegoats.
The Bulls do still seem in some disarray and for us to escape the drop, we need this to get worse AND for them to lose a few players.
Batten down the hatches and lets hope we can escape the drop.

Come on Trin !
