Finishing place : Wed Nov 30, 2016 5:10 pm
Just been glancing on another forum at a prediction thread for next season. Don't think there is one person that puts us to finish higher than 9th position, and a lot have us to finish bottom. I hope they are wrong about that, and they usually are but it's a forum where the posters are normally pretty unbiased in their views.The least pleasing one was that R Stone has already got his excuses in by saying that we have signed no one of note yet, I personally don't believe we have finished with our signings yet, and if that's the case it shoots down that theory.
I feel we are almost bound to do better than last season, simply because , badly as we played we lost a lot of our games by very few points if i remember rightly, and in among-st we came up with some extremely good shows, There did seem to be a poor feeling around the players as well, ( I have no evidence of that though)
My own opinion is that with a new coach and conditioner, even if we don't sign any more players, we can still improve on last year, The three we have got from Bradford although not world beaters for me, are at least better than we have let go.
IMO With a couple more signings i think we can avoid the shambles of last season , and should we make the right start we could make the top 6, though SL is not getting any easier. For me so much is going to depend on Brough and Brierley and for them to do their stuff, at least as much is going to depend on the pack.
It's going to be an interesting season, Hope tricky Rick is the man. Iv'e had one or two chats with him and he is no boaster, Hopefully he is a man of action rather than words
