Sure can pal

6th to 9th will be between us, rovers, les cats and Salford next year. One of those will miss out. Probably us or you

Salford are spending big but can Noble get them to play as a team?

Les Cats are floundering a bit at the minute and are losing some key players like us.

Wakey look in trouble and London more so.

Bradford are building so may be better contenders next year.

By all accounts Wigan are about to lose Tomkins who is their biggest threat from an unpredictably creative viewpoint.

Leeds are relying on too many aging stars although have some new ones coming through.

Warrington still rely too much on an aging Briers.

Hull have spent big last season but not playing quite as a team yet.

All teams have issues and as per anotger thread, the balance if power is starting to shift. Just because Leeds have been dominent for years doesn't mean they always will when the personnel change.

Dobbo took us a long way but I think we've reached the end of creativity anyway. Time for a change which should also prompt a shift in the way tge team plays as a whole.

Forgive us if we don't appear too concerned, your hardly Nostradamus palKr/giants or london fighting for the 8th spot.

I keep changing my mind after the top 3 places but cant see past wire , st.s and wigan
Salford for wooden spoon (no holdsworth and smith is a big hole to fill imo)'"

Not overly getting my hopes up for next season, we'll have another new half back partnership to bed in and our captain, play maker and best player in Dobson leaving to boot.

I would predict a slow start next year, would be ideal to play the top teams right at the start, get them matches out of the way and be able to play the teams who'll be around us when we've gelled a bit as a team. From the squad we have so far, could have a lineup of

1. Eden
2. Hodgson
3. Salter/Gleeson
4. Welham
5. Brown
6. Burns
7. Keating
8. Weyman
9. J Hodgson
10. Walker
11. Lovegrove
12. Cox
13. Costigan


Thoughts on that team?

'"

Can Keating kick goals?

Ah frep, casually missed that last bit of the prophecy.

Roll on 2015.

I must admit, i'd love us to really have a crack at the Challenge cup next year, even if it costs us a place in the play-offs. Even tho Fc got humiliated in the final, I've got to admit I was a little jealous they made it.

And it's only before time. Been too long since we've been to a CC final. Best chance for silverware next year.

Eden getting better.
Hodgson is aging hence the move for a quick fix with Charlie.
Gleeson too long on sidelines but starting to make decent impression.
Welham as above.
Brown defence left exposed because team not defending as a unit.
Burns has pure passion but needs to reign it in a little.
Keating we can only hope is any good.
Weyman looks great but will he settle.
Hodgson J had a great 2012
Mika if he stays has improved.
Lovegrove had a great 2012
Cox had a great 2012
Costigan looks promising

Do you mean 2013?
