I didn't necessarily write off your top 4 chances, I stated it was difficult to see you making the top 4. I made my statement based on how the Bulls, London and Leigh are full time and Fev have both recruited well and have a solid and hardened squad.
I totally agree predictions count for nothing at this stage but I am sure even you can see how formidable the challenge is for your club, and I would go as far as to say your clubs aims will be for the mid tier to avoid being drawn into a relegation battle, which is a possibility - one my club also wants to stave off.
The stark reality is your club is competing on an uneven playing field, hence DR with Rovers, but if your coach can tap into Rovers resources effectively I can see you challenging 4th with London who I feel will struggle on the road. Again this is my opinion but isn't this what pre-season is all about.
