Whilst we should aim to win every game in the m8s, the chances of beating Warrington are very slim and Catalans are also quite slim. Ad long as the team is capable if beating the rest, we have a very goid chance. Stop worrying about Toulouse away, Feath away in the m8s is more worrying if it falls that way.

I wonder why they've waited this late to try and make signings, youd think they'd get them in earlier so they can learn plays and calls. Its a good job Sheens knows what hes doing (hopefully)

I assume budget constraints is part of it.

From what I hear we still have a fair bit still available on the cap, so two or three additions to the squad are quite possible.
We will soon find out I guess.

Are you happy with your squad for the rubbish 8s?

I'm a bit nervous, but if Jamie Acton gets around 4/5 game ban then i think we'll be ok as he might only miss 1 to 2 games as he would've served 3 games prior to the 8s. He really does make a difference. I'm happy with the squad, but i think we've under performed quite a few times this season. We are capable of stepping up, and it certainly will be required in the 8s.
