Are the Dobbins still getting excited over people getting involved now there is land to sell off?

Whatever happens they still occupy an ageing three sided ground they share with burger vans.

It's just one person's opinion, imagine this article was written 12 months ago Shaw wrote the same article but had Warrington in 11th, there would have been uproar from Warrington fans, but it happened. We could finish 11thnext year if we have a bad year, we've not got a given right to be in the top 6 just because we've got a new coach and some new signings...look at wire last year. Every year there are teams that over perform and underperform, having a good squad and a good coach on paper doesn't always deliver success, nor does having a "weaker" team mean you'll be fighting for survival as Salford showed last year.

The bookies have us 8th, going by odds to win the grand final. I’ll take that. Our fans obviously generate a lot of click traffic so we’re bound to attract outlandish claims by journos.

Good to read the clubs well passed 6k pass sales. In the current climate and our performances in recent years I think it’s a great effort so far.

Re: Pre season. : Thu Jan 05, 2023 9:34 pm  

Agree that 6k sales is a good effort, I thought we'd have been a good thousand down before Pearson intervened and sacked Hodgson.

That said while times are hard, at £280 for a East Stand season ticket it makes it £21.50 a game, which I think is good value, you'd struggle to have a decent night/day out for that these days. Also provides something to moan and banter about all week long too!

There's a clear contrast between the ' let's ease into it and avoid injures' approach of Tony Smith's Hull FC and the ultra intense, start early and keep the foot to the floor philosophy of Rovers Wille Peters.

Tony is a nice bloke until you disagree with him but I feel he is a tad out of touch with the the modern ways of Rugby League.

Only time will tell.

It will be interesting to watch.

Will the head coach with a proven track record of turning clubs around succeed or the enthusiastic assistant coach in his head coach role come out on top?

But seriously I think both clubs are in a block of teams that could finish anywhere from 5th to 10th. Depends on injuries and how the two squads react to the coaching changes.

Same could be said for Willie Peters but in a different way.
