[quote="Jake the Peg":2vi6nk6u]I think best we can realistically hope for is top of the bottom 4 clubs, however big question marks over leeds and salford for me, either of who could go OK but also tank. The other big unknown is injuries. If everyone has their first choice 17 available every week then I'd say wigan to finish top, with rovers and catalans fighting for 2nd place, wire, saints and leigh 4th to 6th, leeds and salford 7th and 8th with us, cas, hudds and wakey 9th to 12th, however most teams have thin squads so injuries will play a massive part in where you finish. Anyone confident of us finishing 8th or higher is deluding themselves IMO. We have a new coach, plenty of mid 30's players and some with poor injury records. If we finished 8th and were consistent all season I'd say this squad has probably over delivered[/quote:2vi6nk6u] leeds have problems deep rooted within their upstairs, i dont see them doing anything special this year, salford is all dependent on fire sales

[quote="Jake the Peg":xl1cifiq]Mikey lewis is by far and away rovers best player as he was last season. Lose him and they will be 4th to 6th. If he stays fit they'll be top 3[/quote:xl1cifiq]a few injuries for your boys and you could be serving the soup

We need John Asiata to play min 20 games or else I feel we’re 9th

I also think Wakey will be fighting at the bottom, they have made some good signings, as have we, but alot of their overseas players are untested at SL level. For me they lack creativity, pivots of Jowitt, Trueman, Russell, Hood and Pitts hardly set fear in sides. Like us they have a couple of injury risky signings too. It's OK playing against part time teams but SL is another level. I wouldn't be suprised if we finished above them or vice versa to be honest.
