But you guys have under achieved due to having a bad run of injuries. If lose 4/5 quality players due to injury, academy players won't fix that problem. We are only a quality middle and an outside back from being a really good team.

We have been terrible, but still haven't come close to relegation in that time. Injuries have given gametime to the likes of Wynne, Brown and Laidlaw who can play SL fairly regularly.
You may think you are close to a really good side, but you can never know, your squad and coaches had no tests last year, let's see I the players are good enough for SL, before we start making big predictions. I think you will stay up, but only just and talk off being near the play offs are way off.
You are still way off at least 8/9 SL clubs squads IMO.

I did say in an earlier post we would just escape relegation. We are doing everything we possibly can to build to become a top side. Promoted clubs have a massive disadvantage to stay in Superleague. If you've noticed, Leigh have done it different this time by recruiting Superleague standard players whilst in the championship, and have added a further 12 players to that. Of course that still doesn't mean we will be challenging for honours, but it gives us a better chance to build towards that. FWIW - Hull fc recruit well every season, and I always have them for the play offs. Unfortunately like I've already said, injuries have hampered you regularly. If injuries or suspensions are kind, I'm going for Hull fc to be in the play offs, and Leigh to finish around 8th/9th/10th position. Let's see how it goes, and best of luck to all teams, and a great feast of rugby throughout the season.

Our recruitment for the last two years has been terrible. Our recruitment on paper looks good, total new spine though but lacking a bavkrower IMO, with some luck could get top 6, but think we will miss out. Spine of Hoy, Truman, Clifford and Dywer looks a world away from last season. Coaching is our biggest improvement but think it may take a season to challenge.

Find the article on every player barring one improving their fitness stats from last year. I know how I’d rather be entering the new season.

You are falling for pre season propaganda. Every team is working harder, loving their new coach and ready to right the wrongs from last season.

Yeah, but we’re used to all those years of the sinking feeling associated with the phrase ‘mobile pack’ or its only slightly less depressing cousin ‘play some footie’.

Although it is a fair point, and I’m certainly not blind to it all, but this is different. This refers to hard statistical data that gives facts about our players. Granted the data obviously wasn’t published, and never would be, but we’ve never had a pre season where stats like this have been talked about in the media.

Talking in the media especially from HDM’s Rovers correspondent is propaganda.

Every year we're "fitter than ever" but then look more knackered than ever. Always best to ignore the pre season articles and judge them on their performances

| Wonder how TS will play things this weekend. Would be good to get 40mins out of a first choice team before making changes

| Looks like we will be missing the following:
Trueman
Carlos
Wynne
Shaul
Evans
Savelio
Sutcliffe
Sao
Of which all (baring Trueman, Wynne and probably Carlos) will probably feature against Wakey.
Still going to be a fairly strong squad, while giving some of the fringe players a chance to impress

| Shame for Wynne to turn his ankle and be missing for 5 to 7 weeks especially with the start of the season now only being 4 weeks away. Shauls sounds precautionary more than anything serious reading the report.
Hopefully the likes of Carlos, Savelio and Evans will be back in contention soon with Sao and Sutcliffe following their extra time out.
