The more I look at Cas, Wakey and Huddersfield I'd be disappointed if we don't finish above them, but I guess they'll all be thinking the same about us.
Cas have a decent squad but there are some unknowns in there along with the loss of McShane who was a real key component over the years. Also McGuire in his first full on season as a Head Coach it may not go smoothly though I think Delaney as assistant will help in that regard.
Wakey again not a bad side but a few more unknowns in terms of players new to SL also Trueman and Scott who are good players but question marks on their ability to stay off the treatment table. Think if they get a few injuries they may struggle more than most.
Huddersfield, really not sure what to make of them squad wise it's decent, but feel an awful lot rides on the decision of appointing Robinson as Head Coach.
As for us, like those above we have question marks but genuinely feel that with Cartwright at the helm, the changes throughout not just the squad but the club as a whole so far and the long standing issues being addressed, plus the ongoing winds of change that have brought renewed optimism, it just gives us a bit more of an edge over those teams.
Its all still unknown of course and as we know being Hull fans disappointment is a feeling we have grown to expect. Hopefully this up coming season will finally be the one in which we truly have turned the corner, but as Wilf has often noted, its the hope that kills you
