Quote: UllFC "I don't think he is talking poop. Cas & Salford will improve, London may drop out.
that leaves only Wakefield & Widnes as sides that are expected to struggle. It would only take a few defeats for relegation fears to set in.'"
Despite the current doom and gloom unless we implode massively I can't see this happening. Castleford, if they improve at all, will surely struggle without Chase and Seymour is a gamble. Salford might take a year or two to develop. Wakefield you would expect to go backwards with losing most of their best players and lack of funds to buy new. Widnes could push on a bit, but are losing Hock.
Plus you forget that Rovers are losing quality players and their replacements may not be any improvement at all. (Despite the "We'll improve without Dobson because we'll be unpredictable" theory.) And then Catalans who finished below us and because they're poor travellers will always lose points.
Not saying we won't be in the 6th to 8th mix but we are in a better position than some.
