I didn't see the game today but as a Leeds fan I don't think top 10 is too unrealistic.
I don't think you will finish in the play-offs but I think the bottom will be incredibly tight, with a bit of a gap from the rest. It will be very possible to finish above Wakefield, Salford, etc.

Agree and I think the prediction of bottom will fire us up.

Negatives: How fast Wire Fans were on here to take the mick, and somehow beleive they've written the Rugby League guide to success. but, some things will never change.

I think the first line of any 'Rugby League 'success guide' should read:

1. Sign Tony Smith.....all the rest seems to fall into place....we're in a good place and enjoying the ride.

You have a good backer....as do Wire....you need time....and thick skin in the short term!

How did Willie Isa go? He had a tough year with injuries but was solid for us last year and I thought he had more potential ready to show with a steady run, gutted to see him leave.

willy isa was suspect in defence looked sluggish in attack and did seem to go down with a leg injury quiet funny as he was holding his leg when it all kicked off lol

I think personally it was a good game and for 10 or so minutes you had us taken aback with your second stringers against ours. you have along way to come i super league but what else is anyone going to expect?? however there is a lot of potential i think once you your team is settled in

Disagree as it like a reserves with a few first teamers just like Wire.We have two new signings still to come and a few influential players missing.It is our first run out and I predicted 10th or 11th this season.

These 2 signings! When are the coming in? Will they be fre from injury? Will they be match fit or the first 5-6?weeks of the season? Is it Billy Slater or Darren Lockyer? As stated, ambitions & capabilities. It's your first season back and your playing with an almost new team.

Seems alot of fans are pinning there hopes on these two signings they keep talking about.

Well said.

The season proper hasn't started yet although far too many people / the bookies are writing us off. It's going to be tough our first season back in SL. The team and fans should be fired up to prove some of the doubters wrong.

Negative: Wait till you come up against a full strength Wire team and not the reserves. By 'eck you'll struggle this season.

Re: Positives and negatives : Tue Dec 27, 2011 12:17 pm  

Take no notice Widnes. Happens in every sport. When Wigan Athletic got promoted to Premier League a few years ago, "they" said that they'd go straight back down. Now we're struggling to get rid of them. When Swansea came up this season, they said they'd struggle, and there they are, 15th of 20 and some great results against "established teams".

Super League isn't about form, it's about the day, how you perform on the day, and how the other team performs on the day.

I dont think for one second any Widnes fan is expecting trophies this season (though it's not impossible), and I think a top 10 prediction is not out of reach.

Take no notice of Warrington, they're jealous of Widnes, cos you've got History.
