Quote: vastman "How on earth do you come to that conclusion! You may well make the top 5 but by god there is some fierce competition from 1 -8 imho so if you do make it you will have plenty of hassle! Only London look unlikely to trouble the top five, even Salford and HKR have a punchers chance.
It will be a tough year for all IMHO and if you enter the season with that attitude you're just inviting trouble.'"
Because now that I have put the end of last season behind me and been able to think rationally about it, I still think only 2 or 3 sides have a better squad than us. And last season we spent most of the year in the top 5 despite the injuries and hurdles we faced. I honestly aren't concerned about the way the season ended, we were battered and bruised (mentally as well as physically) and had nothing left to play for. If we have our fair share of injuries I am certain we will make the playoffs. Bookmark it if you want. It's only my opinion.
You are dead right about the competitiveness though. There aren't going to be many easy games this year.
