I've not taken in any of the friendlies so can't say too much for the new recruits. But I have heard CS mention a few times that he's now got a group of players who want to be here. Which naturally suggests that this wasn't the case last year and perhaps caused a few internal issues. Whether or not we’re stronger than last year, time will tell, but at least (hopefully) we should see a committed team this year.

We lost far too many close games last year, if we can find that Dave Brailsford 'marginal gains' percentage, then hopefully we can see out tight games. GG Stan is right tho' - friendlies = frep squared.

greg eden is the best prospect we have



he can run through the tightest of gaps with ease . even a very small gap

i hope cox has a good year also after his injury last season

From what i have seen so far.......

I fear we are going to ship a lot of points again this year... our defence is still porous ...even the wigan b team went through twice with no real problem, and a stronger wigan lineup would have taken us apart.. I`m a realist... i see our problems..... is this the right coach or right players to sort them.... that is a hard one to answer... We played a Hull team that was lacklustre and seemed to have a lack of match fitness at the time... however after playing each team it will be the better time to reflect and assess our play-off hopes etc... right now is far far too early ....lets see how we fare against some of the first team squads after they are upto speed etc...

We have a threadbare squad , not much past the initial 17.... and for that reason alone we will struggle to compete.

Agree about our props, a couple of injuries and we may struggle.

Overall i think well improve on last season, we've got some rugged forwards and pace in the backs and I think well battle back into the playoffs.

I think a lot went on last year that we do not know about and it looks like it might now have been fixed (i hope) and if the money man comes in we might get some strength in depth you never know
