| Quote: very red robin "Were have we added that need strengthening? The only quality i can see that we needed was signing Blake Green and even that is a risk.
Mason, great but not needed in 2nd row but will take it.
Hall, neither here nor there, will either add to depth or take someones place but wont be any better then we have.
Top 4 is well out of reach, 5 6 or 7th for us again and for FC imo. With hopefully a better cup run for us this time.'"
we have added the strength as in green takes cooke's place after we binned him off after 4 games so didn't play for practically all season, mason takes walkers place who sat in the stand all season and craig hall who love him or hate him has played about 60 superleague games and scored about 40 tries takes ratu's place in the squad after looking not good enough after 4 games also. Added to that we've released former juniors who have'nt broken through really with the next batch.
I reckon that gives us a stronger squad next year, having said that I still see us as only 6th best in the league and are scrappping for 5th with hudds, unless one of the big 4 of wigan, saints, leeds or Wire unexpectedly fall over. I'd be delighted with 5th or 6th though if it includes a good cup run. |

| Quote: very red robin "Mason adds a good offload IF morgan uses it, also will make space for others when hes targetted, but could cause major dressingroom disfunction.
Hall has had potential for the last 8 years, cover is all it will ever be, will not add anything.
Green i agree is obviously the best option we have to improve.... but look at the improvement of teams around us, looking at them and us id say we wont be moving much higher fast.'"
No guarantee of that happening!
The kid knows how to find the try line as Sandy has pointed out.
Teams have improved around us as we have ourselves, it shows we are not prepared to just sit back. |

Exactly weve added depth not strength. Yes ok Green is going to play ill give you that 1, but we havent signed someone who is going to knock someone down a peg is what im getting at.
Walker and Cooke wernt going to be here anyway so no they havent been replaced by those players. |

A bit early yet but we look very good against the warm up team. Think Hull are saying its a good time to play us as we will be a bit rusty. But man for man we look far superior. For a minute I was starting to feel sorry for them but it soon went. Come on Rovers cannot wait.
Still waiting in the wings are
Hall
Netherton
Hodgson
Watts
and all the young lads.... Justin has a massive job to pick the best 17 from a very strong squad ![]()
Spoken like a true fan.

So you were wrong then 
Overestimating your own side whilst underestimating Rovers, what a shock

If that's the hkr side I'd be confident.
There's a few changes what would improve the side IMO.

If you look up my predictions for last year I said FC would start ok, but would yet again be moaning about injuries by May (even tho they'd signed over the hill players and no HB cover) I said Rovers and FC would be a place apart but we would go further in the play offs. I must admit I thought we'd have a good cup run which was not forth coming. Still a lot closer than your prediction.
