They may not be giants but we're struggling to knock over mid-table SL sides that supposedly we should be more than capable of beating even with injuries. Many people assumed we'd beat Wakefield a few weeks ago. In the event they were the better side IMO and at the end looked more likely winners.
We are simply not scoring enough points, and don't have enough quality off the bench to hold onto even reasonable looking leads. Bringing in a few new bodies should help, but lets not pretend that any likely signings/returnees this year will turn us into 'giants' either. Without some major signings we look like a mid-table team of exactly the sort that could lose two of its games vs SL teams in the Middle 8s. I'm confident we'll get through the Middle 8s, but without some sort of catalyst I don't think any of our games against SL sides will be gimmes.
