FWIW
There are several factors that need to be considered:
1. There will be a lot of new players in the team (How quickly will they gell, Will they gell remember Rangi)
2. The intensity Leigh have to play solid for 80 minutes (not 60 as previous seasons, how many times did the opposition score in the last 10 mins)
3. Referees They tend to be more stringent at S.L. Level
4. Flukes: Bounce of the ball etc.
5. Discipline: Dont need to mention Jamie
These are but a few
Can we make top 8 - yes course we can
Can we finish bottom 4 - yes
I realy hope we finish top 8 - it is a big ask but acheivable why not?
Like the saying goes "aim for the stars and if you miss you hit the moon - something along those lines anyway
As previously posted - enjoy the ride - we are superleague - Happy Days
Roll on Feb 2017

Well Bongsy thank you, however my excitement is speedily reduced as i scrabble through your post and then find myself then kind of enjoying your post in an insipid fashion.  But keep them coming old bean.  |

Zu, i find your 5 factors somewhat mitigating, however, if you hit the moon, well you've got something there. |

Down the middle.
I just can't say the same about the backline, we are desperate for 2 centres & a Wing.
We shouldn't have let Worthington go, it took him a while after injury to find form but looked a different player outside Drinkwater with early ball, he also had great edge defence.
What's done is done, i hope we have more players coming.'"
Well if we are to prejudge,I would say Wire have the strongest pack on paper.Totally agree with your comments on Worthington though.His commitment at Hull Kr was never in question and he made the giants right flank look pretty weak at home. |

I feel that Dicko needs special mention too, never took a backward step & overall played great, think he will be missed, totally committed to the cause. |

As always lots of great posts and totally agree we need to strengthen the back line.
Another major influence on where teams will be positioned at the end of the season - unfortunately is injuries. Poor tackling techniques and the large number of interchanges contributes to this. The fact that huge players can play in short stints "flying in" needs to be addressed, the best way is too limit the changes to 6 IMO.
This would have to be planned for recruiting players who can play big minutes
