Fatbelly you are right.
But in the off season weren't you predicting us to be champions.....?
I think the real problems are that
1. Some of the senior players that are still here and have had great success with us, are now past their best and no longer top quality
2. Some of the younger players that we had high hopes for, are not going to be top quality and we are finding this out
We are in a similar position Saints were in a year or so ago....and we will need some good recruitment over the next couple of seasons to get back up there.
For this season: expect playoffs (yes playoffs will happen although we might have some talk on the forum of 'forget playoffs, we're playing to avoid relegation'), a loss to the first top 4 team we face in the playoffs, and a loss in the Challenge Cup quarter/semi final to the first top team we face.
