I think 7th/8th, Watsons finger pointing approach to coaching speaks volumes of his ability to pull a side together to compete at any higher level.

Maybe so for mine Cas and Salford are looking light other than that I think this year it will be very competitive can't wait for kick off.

Personally think Leigh will tank this year.

Not many of the press picking Leeds to do much. Good. Should be a bit extra motivation.

Once again your poor knowledge of the game, and lack of research seems to be your downfall doesn't it? Do you really watch other teams play apart from Leeds? Look, Winning the Challenge Cup, and being in the playoffs wasn't a fluke you know. FYI - Leigh have strengthened their squad in the off season, and won't be an easy pushover to anyone. Your remark sounds like you're a jealous type of person to me. You might have spent a lot of money on your squad but, Let's see if you can play in a unified way regularly, and get results.

I kind of agree.
I think we'll be better, but we won't win anything.
Top 3 will be Wigan, Saints and Cats - we're a way off that yet.
London, Cas, Salford and Hudds will be bottom 4.
The other 5 places could honestly be in any order.
I think we'll probably finish 5th or 6th.

We're already up against it in the pack with potential injuries for round one!
But I am very much looking forward to seeing the new faces.

Recency bias my friends - just because a team finished in xth place last year means little for this year. Injuries for one have a huge impact on SL teams, because we don’t have anything like the depth of NRL teams, who tend to be a bit more resilient.

For what it’s worth I think Cats are on the sink a little bit and Saints too. There is room for some changing of the guard.

Leeds are in with a shout of winning something this year but if a couple of key players suffer injuries we will struggle. Who knows. I don’t think we were too far off last year at times with a fully fit team, and the side is stronger this term.

Should be a good season I’m looking forward to it.

Maybe so Jim.
I'm just leaving the rose tinted glasses in the drawer for now...
Too many false dawns over recent years.
But I agree, can't wait for the season to start and see how we get on.

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour thread V4 : Sun Feb 11, 2024 12:08 pm  

I think our first 17 are a match for anything in the league. Our conditioning looks good.

I think we will make less errors this year and be able to apply pressure much better. We’ll see how we perform in adversity but.. I think Leeds will be different gravy and most importantly we’re on the right path for further improvement now.

Be rose tinted you only live once.
