7th - 9th.
Its a difficult call at this stage not knowing the full squad with new signings being rumored - a barnstorming prop hopefully.
We don't know yet just what we are getting in Gaskell, George, Winterstein & Henry + Purtell's form.
The overall squad is stronger than last year and we should be above London, Wakey, Cas and Widnes at least.
Heath is a massive loss & without signing another hooker a lot will depend on O'brien.
Not least is FC's handling of the squad.

All sensible stuff. I've tipped us for 9th or lower but the difficulty for us all is that the squad on paper if firing consistently genuinely can get in the 8. I suppose I'm erring on the side of caution. But I'd rather fear the worst than be a red Amber and black tinted optimist. Easier on the heart strings that way!

If we sign the player i've heard we are looking at, 7th.

As others have said it is difficult to judge without knowing how our team will finally line up but I'd like to think we will once again been in with a reasonable chance of grabbing 8th spot.

3rd. Definitely.

Until we lost Bateman and Heath I thought we looked stronger. Now, if Gaskell is going to 6, our entire left side is changed.

If Roger is right and we're signing another couple, then I'll say 8th.

We should be above London ( if they are still going) and Wakey ( who seem to have lost even more of their squad than us) , didn't do well against Widnes last year and shared the points with Cas . So without amymore off field problems 10th.
