Ian, try and predict things that could come true,

by the way good to meet you at the launch night.

Widnes will be in the top 4 this year and i think Leigh will come about 6th.

i personally hope leigh do finish 6th but i still have widnes down for ANOTHER Bummer of a season

What are your predictions?

I just think you may struggle this season!

i think we'll be top three again this season.
we've strengthened right across the squad with better players.
i think other clubs have lost player they would have prefered not to lose,i dont think that can be said for us.
i think millward will be a much wiser coach after last season,so hopefully we will be a lot more consistent this season.

as for predictions,well, a very happy weekend in blackpool will do nicely thank you.

mine is -

1-Halifax
2-Leigh
3-Featherstone
4-Widnes
5-Barrow
6-Batley
7-Sheffield
8-Toulouse
9-Dewsbury
10-Hunslet
11-York

1.Fax
2.Widnes
3.Fev
4.Leigh
5.Barrow
6.Sheff
7.Toulouse
8.Batley
9.York
10.Hunslet
11.Dewsbury

Best proven squad has to be Fev and I can't understand why you have Dewsbury bottom.

Relegation candidates for me are Hunslet and York.

Fax's squad is not as good as last seasons and re Widnes they always underperform don't they ? Barrow are likely to be up there but depends on the coaching relationship with their Chairman.

Leigh well we have new faces and a young side they could be title contenders or mid table. On balance I am expecting a better season than last though.

clouded thoughts frank,you know what its like in widnes.

I think we will finish 3rd again with 14 wins and 6 defeats, but we will have more popints than last season and hopefully reach the NRC final. As for the table I reckon it will be very tight at the top with not much between the top 3 :

1.Halifax
2.Featherstone
3.Leigh
4.Barrow
5.Sheffield
6.Widnes
7.Batley
8.Toulouse
9.Dewsbury
10.York
11.Hunslet

Smelly?

Don't forget to add to that plastic scousers too

1. fax
2. Leigh
3. mutants
4. Barrow
5. Featherstone
6. Toulouse
Will be the top six, leigh to win the northern rail cup and last 16 of the cc

I think the chemics will have a better season than last with the new signings & now the youth that played 1st team last season should be better for the experience

Somebody talking sense and some of the youth will be better next year.New signings like Finnigan,roparti,Tyrer,I,Anson,Frodsham and Hecky be fitter next season.

After watching you yesterday I think you willdo better than I thought! Blythe looks bigger and stronger and your pack is going to be better. Ellis didnt impress but if you can keep your best 13 on the pitch you should be up there! Was mentioned after the game that you have strengthened up physically which was important. However if it doesnt click I dont think Millward as many excuses as everything seems set for a good season. May even back you for Choo Choo cup again!!

My Top Five= Fax, Fev, Us, Widnes and Barrow, not sure what order though.

its a weird feeling walking off a ground after a thumping and still feeling confident about the coming season.you just have to remind yourself of the gulf in class of the top four in SL and the rest of us mere mortals.
Ellis was good against salford but i think the pace of warrington caught him out yesterday,hopefully he will be a better player for the experiance.
i'm not sure about the DC players tbh.when you get injuries and the DC's get called back it leaves the squad looking very thin.fortunately we've only got two this season.
i think realistically an improvement on last season and more consistancy will be a success because barra,fax and fev look the strongest.

my prediction is that we'll be more consistent than last season & hopefully we don't fizzle out in the 1st playoff game. (& beat Barra & Fev this season) Come on you Leeighhh

We finished third last season. Fax and Fev have lost players this season.

We have had two friendlies. Have our lads looked good or bad ? Which is the better squad this seasons or.last ?

I know I have not seen another Championship side this season but I am optimistic about the coming season.

Oh btw I will be at the Willows Feb 4 to watch Fax play Swinton. Report of their prospects to follow after I have watched the game.

1- Halifax
2 - Widnes
3 - Batley
4 - Featherstone
5 - Barrow
6 - Leigh
7 - Dewsbury
8 - Sheffield
9 - Toulouse
10 -York
11 - Hunslet

start of the season is key. If we win 5 of the first 6, I fancy us to be top 2.

With it being Leigh though, I fear we may be lingering near the bottom after 6 matches. Hope I am wrong !

Wash your mouth out Glen!! We will win something this season mark my words and i know that the players think this too so it will be a lot better than last season and that wasn't too bad for us was it?

Undefeated in regular season, win NRC and win GF. We are the best by a country mile and should be asked to join SL.

Suppose Toulouse finish bottom and Widnes next to bottom, 9th place will be relegated, scary eh

8th AND 9th!!
