Fev must be clear favourites again this year? : Fri Jan 27, 2012 9:04 pm  

Looking at their squad I must admit they have if anything got stronger, blooming eck.
They will take some stopping methinks.

Its a long season and favorites or not you lot havent got a bad team of players and looking a some of the other teams they also look very strong aswell. Lets hope for some good matches i do hope we hit the ground fast as i would personally like to win the NRC this season.
With Fax been to both which would you fans like to get to if you could only choose one and how well do you think you will do?

I think we have a lot of catching up to do this season so maybe we will miss out on the NRC which is the one I want to go to again and win!

Its a wholesale change at Fax this season on and off the field and it will take time but I believe we will benefit in the long term, so watch out!

Although it peed it down all day at the 2011 NRC final it was a cracking atmosphere at Blackpool before & during the match. I do feel the atmosphere at 2009 & 2010 GF's have been less enjoyable. Customer service at the HJ on finals day has been dreadful as well, parking is rubbish.

I wouldnt worry fax4life with the players you have got this season i would expect to see you in the top three and at worst get to the NRC semi final

How quickly we can gel as a team will be key this season obviously Fev are very strong and will be the team to beat but on paper they are not stronger than us but last week we looked anything but a good side lets just hope that we click as a team sooner rather than latter. Leigh will be top 3 this year me thinks.

Given a choice, I'd genuinely prefer to win the Northern Rail again than reach the Grand Final, absolutely terrific venue and the games seem to be much better as well (especially last year )

As for Fev, they couldn't beat Hull's kids, whereas our reserves have just beaten Wigan's first team 42-16!

Matt - We played our 23's with 2 or 3 first team players.

It'll be close between Leigh, Fax & Fev - It'll be an exciting season as Sheffield, Batley and now Keighley will be trying to improve even more.

I think this will be best Championship league campaign it's been in a few years. It'll take a superb team to win it.

Good luck all.

Then your two or three first teamers are bloody useless Chris!

Set for one hell of a season, I think Hunslet may be pinpointed as the weak link but even Dewsbury and York have had decent pre-season results and recruited well, and Swinton will fancy their chances as well.

Just checked that first team Matt, thought you were joking but no, its a full squad of internationals you beat.

Well done Leigh
