that's made my morning.

Nice one , still does not change the fact Hull FC are in the top 6 .

I’ll reply even though it will be proven to be a pointless task.

Hull had a disappointing end to the season and I would assume that the target would have been to have reached the GF, with the way the other teams were performing and the standard that had been set throughout the year this was probably the best chance anyone outside of the traditional ‘Big 4’ had of winning the GF. Cas were the only team to show any real form all year and Hull had the better of them, so I would assume Pearson and Radford would have been at best satisfied and maybe even disappointed with the outcome of the 2016 campaign.

Next year will have a number of variables in the mix, can Wakey kick on, will Salford be able to compete. Will Wire and Catalan struggle again or can they do a Leeds. How will Leeds go without Burrow and McGuire. Hull have to replace Ellis and Fonua and deal with a trip to Oz as do Wigan. Can Cas replicate this year or are they a flash in the pan. St’s look to have a good squad and look to be preseason favourites.

Each year we do a prediction league, I’m yet to get close with my predictions

I will have to be careful here as i may end up agreeing with you , Hull got beat in the semi by in my opinion the best team in superleague as much as i hate leeds and your new singing who's name i refuse to mention was head and shoulders above both Hull and Cas.As for the big four they no longer exist only in the eyes sky Tv. Last years superleague was probably the poorest so far Castleford being shown up twice in big games by Hull and Leeds.
As for Hull , Fonua has been replaced by a player just as big but with pace and Ellis having only played half the games through injury is replaced by Abdul , Hadley , Fash or Turgut all young guns waiting to take there place.

That was strangely coherent.

Forget which login you used for a minute there?

Now if we could just teach it to use the quote function correctly...

No chance Stan it would be like me winning the Lotto no chance, or like a bus selling Bisto even if they do advertise it on the side of the bus

I don't think leeds were the best team in SL but they probably played their best 2 games of the season in the play offs and therefore deservedly won the comp. We were pretty poor in the game at headingley but only lost by virtue of a missed goal kick and had we played anything near our potential on the night I think we'd have lifted teh trophy as cas were never going to win it

Sheens won't do what Chester did with pre-season 2015-16.

The horror of 2016 means complacency won't seep back in for a good long while, I reckon.

Rovers nailed 2017 - like something you nail to something else.

I want us to have a bit of swagger again. A few good signings and we can bruise quite a few egos in this league, IMO. And stamp, metaphorically, on its weaklings. Demoralise the ********s.

A lot of having a decent season in SL is about having a big enough squad and staying relatively injury free. If you do that you'll probably make the 8 as there will be 4 teams who won't.

Realistic aims for this season?
1. Kill Bill
2. Get Jake banned.

I set the bar high. Morally high.
