How tough is next year going to be? : Wed Nov 11, 2009 5:20 pm  

I think were all set for the toughest ever comp next year.

Dewsbury - Unbeaten last year and have added well for next year
Batley - Immense improvement under rhino and will only get better
Halifax - Gene/Aizue will add steel to an already solid squad
Barrow - Champions last year and will be looking to repeat next year
Widnes - Building a cracking squad and Culls first pre season in charge
Leigh - The return of Millward and they have already added some quality
Sheffield - Dark horses for me and have some excellent players in there
Whitehaven - Same old same old, tough as fook and will be a force
Fev- some very shrewd signings already and they are better than last year
Keighley - unknown team and a good young coach, will be dangerous
Toulouse - Tough to beat in france and look to have signed a few good players for next year.

Good assesment there. It'll be a tough old slog and look at the points spread last year - not much in between the top four and the relegation places. I wish people would shout more about this league and it's merits rather than what lies ahead in 2012 and beyond.

I think everyone will provide a tough challenge for us bar Halifax.

How many people are in their squad so far? 15? 16? Gotta be worried.

We need to get moving on the signing front. It is indeed a worry.

Would rather wait and sign quality than panic buy and get poor players like Gardiner.

Might be worthwhile getting Columbo involved to see what he can do.

Anyone but Columbo.

He would have all the answers within the first five minutes of contact but drag it out for ages and ages. They need answers now dammit and only Ironside can help them.
