£10 for a charity of the winners choice if Wakey finish out the bottom 2?

Just seen the expected team for Salford at the weekend.

Good pack and halfbacks, backs hit and miss, poor at hooker.

Bench of

Howarth
Mcpherson
Griffin
Dixon

Is poor and much weaker than the other teams challenging for the top 6.

Unless they are injury free, there is no chance of them finishing in the top 6, never mind any higher.

I see you're still spouting the same rubbish as you were a few weeks ago, outside of our better known players you don't know what the calibre of our squad is. That said, I don't know what your squad fillers are like either, but I've never known Jordan Thompson or Liam Watts to pull up any trees. I can pretty much guess what you'll get from Feka though, the odd big run or good hit every match and then he'll disappear for the rest of it.

Since you're still going on about our poor squad, I think you'll Finder Noble choose Tommy Lee because he had a specific job for him to perform, and let's not forget any hooker is only as good as the ball his pack can supply him with. McPherson is a good player and Griffin's form a Hudds was such that Leeds and Saints were both after him. I'm no real fan of Howarth, but Dixon does a decent enough job.

Some nice spin, not sure why you are comparing your squad to ours as I am not confident about us finishing in the top 6 either, the players you have mentioned are solid but average SL players, on paper your squad isn't good enough to make the top six, but I guess we will have to see what happens, I will gladly come back on here and admit I was wrong if you make the 6, I've been wrong many times in predicting things in RL so it might happen again, but this is a prediction thread so I am predicting your squad isn't good enough to make the top 6, I wouldn't be shocked if you failed to make the top 8.

I've seen Lee many times, he us a poor player, at his 5th club already tells its own story.

I don't like coming on hear trying to say everything at Salford is amazing, because any long serving fan of the club wouldn't be surprised if it blew up in our faces.

However, you keep having pot shots at Salford.

You talk about the squad on paper, Warrington took on Chris Hill from Championship that didn't make him a bad player in actuality. It merely meant he wasn't a superstar on paper. So maybe Noble took a few gambles with the likes of Steve Rapira, Jason Walton and Greg Johnson, but having come the championship, the later have been holding their own so far. Not sure what the deal is with Tommy Lee, but Huddersfield fans seemed to think he only left them due to a big offer from London. Unfortunately for both club and player, London ran into financial difficulty, but Noble saw him as player he could trust. So I'll take Noble's opinion over yours.

put it this way,

saints, warrington, wigan, hudds, leeds and catalan have stronger squad than salford, its a fight for 7 and 8 between 3 teams imo, yourselves and the two hull clubs

Bump

I was way off

Looks like I was right about Salford, interesting to see what Lincoln Red Devil has to say. Think they will do better this year and should make the 8, but would be surprised again if they missed out again and it's a really tough league this year.

I must admit I am amused by those who believe that Wire will be any where near next season, but then again, it's the same kind of mentality that believes the Humberside clubs will be as well.

The only true prediction is the Sky team will once again utter the phrase " most open Super League" of all time, and yet the usual suspects will be at Old Trafford.

Nice bump of the thread. I'd forgotten about your kind offer.

I think Pinderfields Hospital Burns Club, would very much appreciate your kind donation.

Cheers.

What makes you think Warrington won't be anywhere near? They came about at close as you can get last year and have improved their squad imo.

As for the Hull clubs. I haven't really seen anyone say we will be anywhere near. Even the people talking us up are only predicting 6th or 7th at best.
