Is this team better than The Reds and Aussie-Welsh... : Fri May 01, 2009 8:02 pm  

...of seasons past? Put it this way, Salford, Cas and KR came out of SL and kept their teams so obviously dominated. This squad has been built from the ground up so I'd say we're up there on merit.

We've won seven matches. Thirteen to go, and then some. Put the champagne back in the cellar and let's assess this season in September.

Very true but I think we look in a strong(er) position than anyone has. I'm not trying to get people's backs up, we haven't won anything yet (for years even). I was just wondering what people thought our chances were I guess.

Very very strong. We have the potential to run away with this league. I did think Widnes were the challenge but they're getting smashed at home tonight. Things certainly do look good.

I beg to differ When did we last lose the Infirmary Cup?

And the Inaugural Link Telecom challenge

Wish I agree but I see Barrow breathing down our neaks.

And the neak is not an easy place to breath down

I can certainly see us competing against all those teams & beating the Welsh Ozzies. Whilst we've kicked on, so have other teams in this league & for me, it's the most competative all round (just look at the Thunder v Donny score tonight)

Yes we are a better team as we play great suff.
I still cannot fathom out how Salford won the lot last year, they were a decent team but not great like the Hull KR team of 2006, they were the best all round NL team ever imo.
Celtic just did the basics right, typical lower grade Aussies, a bit boring.
We are similar to the Cas team of 2007 but even more entertaining.
