I don't think the squad as it stands would suggest so. York are looking tasty, Featherstone will be there again. Toulouse look ambitious and Bradford have recruited well.

One thing I will say about Toulouse, I don't feel they can up there score significantly more than what it is now, where Trinity can.

Back to the IMG population figures. Huddersfield must be in the same boat as us. Kirklees has three teams Hudds, Dewsbury and Batley. I think the lucky West Yorks team to come out of all this farcical counting method is Halifax as they are the only team in the Calderdale District.

each at least,Huddersfield, Dewsbury and Batley get more points than us, Cas and Fev Rovers
