As said, we have Taylor who must be at risk of burn out - we know he has played though injuries. Bowden still short of form for me. Satae is a good prospect off the bench but I don't feel we can roll other packs. Our middles have been exposed this year and we haven't strengthened if you think Paea was our best prop for much of this year. Kelly's fitness is another key concern. We know Connor at 6 with Sneyd isn't an amazing option. I would be delighted if your expectations were realised, of course.

As said, I don't think you can name 4 clubs with better squads than us. It takes more than the props to roll a pack and we will not struggle to make metres with our pack and outside backs. The main area we were exposed last year was tactically, which I'm hopeful we are addressing with these new coaches.

I think Saints, Warrington and Wigan have better squads and ours is on a par with Catalans, Castleford, Wakefield and Hull KR.

Is that Hull KRs 1986 squad?

Is this you getting your excuses in early?

Squad wise we are there right up at the top now, best recruitment out of anyone in SL, you couldn't name a team that has been more active recruiting the quality we have.

To put us on a par with Cas, Cats, Wakey and Rovers is ridiculous and embarrassing even by your excuse making standards.

If we fail it won't be down to recruitment.

No nastiness or aggression just sheer disbelief.

"Ridiculous and embarrassing even by your standards". It's just a different opinion. Try and accept it. You advocate that as I recall.

Rather you'll be contradicting yourself saying Radford is beyond useless but still expecting a top 4 finish so you can spend all season moaning about it.

That’s not even close to been true, you’ve already proved my point on this thread alone.
