That's true, but we also want to be successful.

I don't see how one ( playing good RL ) means we won't see the second (winning RL )

Well,my take is that ,i don't mind flamboyancy, as like you say is entertaining,however i feel each team we play against we will have a different approach on how we play. Each week will throw up a different strategic plan,whether it be a flamboyant approach or a more conservative approach. Don't get me wrong,i don't think for one minute we will hide in our shell,but will take on what is in front of us in the right way.

A dream team means nothing, apart from a dream of course.

Our established SL forwards:

Andy Lynch
Grant Millington
Gadwin Springer
Junior Moors
Jesse Sene-Lefao
Mike McMeekan
Oliver Holmes
Matt Cook
Larne Patrick
Adam Milner
Nathan Massey
Paul McShane

As much as our backs get the glory, we have a very strong, reliable and deep group of forwards.
Not sure which Leigh players would get into our first choice pack. I've always rated Harrison Hansen, though.

It would be nice to beat you on the opening match of the season. You might have a different view then.

We will probably know a little more after the weekend, but the forwards include

Weston
Higham
Hock
Stewart
Patterson
Hansen
Pellisier
Maria
Hopkins
Green
Vea
Tickle
Hood
Acton

Plenty competition and decent size, best years behind quite a few but that could be said of many of SL's better forwards. Personally think Acton will have a great season.
