next season prospects : Tue Nov 10, 2015 6:08 pm  

where do the fans think we will finish next season

got rapira and hinchcliffe coming in with patrick again.

brough and ellis another season to combine

with youngsters connor,leeming and simpson to kick on again

ferres to have a full season this time?!

cudjoe and mcgillvary to continue hot form form last season

thats me being positive

hope for super 8's again and to get to a final.

early cup exit and middle 8's would be a disaster.

Top 4
Semi final
At least

My head is telling me It'll be exactly the same as last year. Play well all season then panic in the big games. Fans arguing over our coach, the lack of a partner for Brough and a world class fullback.
Other fans wanting a new name on a trophy (like Huddersfield) but then laughing at the sight of us chocking.

My heart says Hinchcliffe could be the difference in us getting into the CC final and bringing big match confidence into our team.

I certainly wouldn't say we played well last season, until the 8s we were very hit and miss, rarely hitting any sort of good form. But we did pick up points it has to be said.

Brough does have a partner, Ellis, he did OK l thought, being one of the few willing to attack the line and another pre season for those two together is a good thing. Hinchcliffe will be a massive signing for us and hopefully a fit Rapira will too.

There are one or two players whose chances of winning something in their careers are becoming less and less, next season will be one of their best shots IMHO. too many average performances last season, I don't believe that will happen again. Think our best shot as always is the cup.

i have the same feeling, always feels like deja vu every year

i think ellis is a good partner for brough though, played well last season and will get better.

alot is going to rely on hinchcliffe and if he can change things for us i feel

cant see warrington being as bad this time round making it harder for that top 4 but we did it again last season

I have that gut feeling that if Hinchcliffe comes and plays like he can then it'll have the Brett Hodgson effect. Give our team that mature, class team player we need.

Well we're another year more experienced with the addition of some extra quality. The likes of Simpson, Connor, Leeming, Mason will all be better next year and know more from the senior guys.

Rapira will be a huge boost to our pack, i hope he's coming here kean but more importantly, MEAN !! we have missed some of that in our pack.

I will expect us to be top 5 at least and challenging again, whether we can go one step further we won't know for about 10 months..but the same as every off season i'm looking forward to what awaits us in 2016.

got a new backroom staff team too, hope it goes well regarding the physio and strength and conditioning

greg brown done a great job and now gone to work for salford

Re: next season prospects : Tue Nov 17, 2015 12:32 pm  

If Catalans and Warrington get their acts together then we've all got a fight on our hands. Plus side is that it would make for a fantastic league competition.

Re: next season prospects : Wed Nov 18, 2015 7:21 pm  

Top 8 for certain
Top 4 a possibility in the Super 8's
Challenge cup winners is a possibility if they get favourable ties and a banker semi final
GF winners no chance what so ever
