Odd thing is, they played 114 games between them last year, I doubt there are any more experienced benches.

Going to be a tough season for us . Other teams have recruited well .
A top 6 finish will be a good return for us .
Very impressed with Cas tonight .

Still think we will finish top 4 with Wigan, Warr and Cas.

Big game next week

On another note, what was the point in Naughton signing for Leigh, not got a game yet, might as well stayed here and at least played some reserve games

Don't write off Saints and Leeds .

6th with a game in hand on Leeds and Hudds above us. Warrington bottom. Best defence in the comp. All to play for.

For us to free up some cap? for Leigh I'm to not sure.

Was Naughton on much, can't imagine more than 30k?

It's not experience that was the problem though. It was the performance. It's not all about the bench by any means there were players who started who weren't up to par. But Taylor and Watts are miles ahead of the next props in the line. Take Ellis and Mini out of it and we look much weaker. Early days like I said.

I was at Leeds on Friday night and they were nothing special, only winning because 2 mahoosive forward passes were missed in their last try.

That being said, they'll still get their usual 4 points off us more than likely

If a FC coach had won what he has (7 trophies) we'd been talking about him in revered terms.

I think it's more to do with the fact it's now very clear that it was the class of the players that won them the trophies rather than anything McDermott did.
