sorry kr fans, dont see what all the euphoria is about your signings, i think hudge is living in dreamworld if he thinks his team can displace any of the big 5 let alone top 6!
depending on bradfords' situation, no doubt they will get looked on favourably by the rfl and somehow come out smelling of roses and escape the drop
just my opinion, no doubt some dobbins will take offence
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!'"
I think most people agree we're one of the 'middle 4', and in mid-table there's usually very little between teams. An extra win or two can see you climb a couple of rungs on the ladder pretty easily, and I think that is the limit of our euphoria. Plus we've made some adjustments that should see us tighten up in defence. Flair is great, but that conceding 3 tries in 5 minutes thing gets old pretty quickly. There's concern about how some of the changes will go, but a new direction is always exciting at first. The no-nonsense Radford revolution seems to have been met with cautious optimism, but he's inexperienced in the role, and it could easily go either way. Catalans continuity means they're probably best placed to lead home our little group (by a nose) and get 6th, I agree.
Just as we might think, 'y'know maybe 5th isn't out the question', Widnes and Cas will be looking at play-off spot. I think Cas might handle the post-Rangi era okay - they look a bit more balanced as a squad, and Powell seems competent and efficient.
Your point about Bradford is interesting - I try not to be too paranoid or take conspiracy theories too seriously. But trust in the system remains at rock bottom. Only a fool would trust it completely IMO. My hope for the new year is the RFL moves back more to proactively running the sport, rather than trying to shape it reactively.
