Not making any predictions after the last two seasons.

The only thing I hope for is to reach a play-off position and a good cup run - I'd be happy with that, anything more would be a bonus!!

5th or 6th for me, following a strong finish to the regular season. Then a good showing in the playoffs

at leeds

Radford said on radio today that there was no real difference to 13 or 8 ??????
Apart from at Leeds he said - SL champions for 3 years.
Knocker/Jason Smith v Boxall/Logan
With that comment it shows that we need a fresh view in the house

He is right depending on how the coach wants the team to play. Loose man used to be a creative role whereas a lot of teams just use it as an extra battering ram these days.

One thing i prefer is a more ball playing loose man i feel it gives the team a good attacking triangle with plenty of options, granted this year i feel tansey will come up from full back to play a bit of this role, but i thought Mcmenemy is the typical type Loose man for me robust but gave you something in attack.

Yeah he is right because under his Captaincy and Agar's leadership we finished bottom last year and next to bottom the year before. Leeds have a world class player at 13 in Sinfield and Sculthorpoe was no battering ram when they ruled. If you play 13 as an 8 you get what you deserve. Wise Up

Reckon we'll finish in the play offs, can't see us getting in the top 4 just yet though, top 6 should be the target. Hopefully a win at Wembley too

If we stay injury free then we should finish between 6-8th

Doesnt seem to have botherd the Aussies does it...they use 3 2nd rowers.....i like a ball playing 13 but most teams use a extra 2nd rower as a 13 now.

It's difficult to predict were we will finish this season, I'm really hoping to see us in the top 6, fingers crossed at the higher end. Got to say though I'm lookin forward to seeing a bit of BIFF, bring it on!!!

If we can maintain our current position as THE TOP CLUB in the profitability table, I'll be happy looking down on our skint neighbours

6th this year for us I think behind Leeds, Saints, Warrington, Wigan, Bradford

And as promised by Longy a Wembley win !!

Wise up

The loose forward role is split amongst SL and NRL sides, some prefer the extra battering ram and some prefer the more creative player. I believe a mixture of the two is the best option although it depends on the personel. Leeds for example have Sinfield who can do both roles when required.

Also a lot of sides emply a prop at 13 for the first 4/5 games of the year when grounds tend to be heavier, Saints, Hudds, Leeds, Wire and us all do that.

So yeah wise up. Radford at 13 was not the reason we finished so low down the table, it was a lack of halves that was our main issue with scoring tries.
