I don't mean to write them off straight away, but with them releasing their squad numbers today i think they look by far the worst squad next year.
I might be surprised by them but i highly doubt it, it looks like a squad of old where a team wins promotion, comes up and gets absolutely hammered all year.
Interested to hear what you guys think, honestly i've never heard of 90% of the squad.

Even if they finish second bottom wouldn't they still be relegated with the IMG grading?
I doubt they'll win a game though!

I haven't seen the squad, but wasn't the same said of Leigh at this stage last year?

I think we (fans in general) over estimate the over all quality of the league, and under estimate what a team can do when well drilled and together.

Not many said that about Leigh from my point of view, they looked like a pretty good squad on paper. But didn't expect them to have the season they did, it was really refreshing last year for me. Nice to see a new team winning something, and very nice to see Saints win bugger all

I don't think anyone expected what Leigh produced, fair play to them.

Can't be bothered searching but I reckon 50/50 on here had them 11th or 12th.

The friendly against Leigh was an eye opener.
