Looks like the bookies are taking us a bit more seriously next year, only a bit mind!

I'm not Stan James but, I'd gamble that they are the shortest pre season odds for Trinity EVER.
Salford are a short price (relatively speaking), considering Dr K has gone and they are likely to be short of brass.

I think that's the first time I've seen the bookies give us a chance!

Somehow I can't see Cas replicating this season again next year. I'd put them more 6/1 with Leeds.

I'm ok with those odds.

We are building something. You don't give people confidence in one season. We have to be top 8 and competing next year and the year after to change perception.
Cas have been improving over a couple of years already.

Think it will be the most competitive SL season ever, got to think that Warrington will spend big time to ensure they improve, Hull KR have more experience of SL than Leigh so should be strong, Catalans and Salford will be interesting, Wigan will be gutted missing out on top 4 and will invest in players. We will be wiser and more experienced and should go well again. Widnes are due better luck on the injury front . It really should be another great season.

Im happy with those odds too Pop Tart.

I also agree about us competing too next year to change peoples perception and increase confidence in us.

Too early to make full on predictions until all teams have finalised their squads, and especially given the salary cap increase.

Not happy about being rated on a par with Huddersfield. It's a very big gap in the odds from Warrington at 9/1 and us at 40/1. Betfred obviously rate us very much as "also rans". I think fairer odds for us would be 25/1 . After all until the last week of the Super 8s we were still in with a top four chance.

That's about the only complaint if there is one I'd make as well. With Warrington at 9/1, I'd have us at 20/1 the Hudds 25/1.
Apart from the odd signing, especially around the Curremt Top 8, it will all come down to the same players again and as far as Trinity goes, we have a really settled squad who competed excellently last year & we're just adding the odd bit of quality that will hopefully take us to that Top 4 next year. Warrington need a new Coach & a number of new players to find. Obviously they've had a fair few years been up newer the top, but imo it's goin to be a big ask for them to get back up there imo and they're odds are only a litte less than Leeds. Even with McGuire and Burrows going they seem a good bet.

For the first time ever, at 25/1 I'm going to have a cheeky bet on us I think.
