5th sounds about right.

3rd

Hoping for 3rd (if we can make the plastic pitch work to our advantage) but think 5th is realistic - while we appear to have the flair I think again we are still lacking in the grunt for this division. Surprised to see him put Dewsbury at 8th. Leigh look to be awesome on paper - can't see anyone catching them.

Creativity is the key.

When the coach didn't play last season Broncos invariably got gubbed.

Surely he played at Widnes against Fev. We got gubbed that day.

So you've pointed out the exception to the rule.

Point still stands though.

Lovegrove and Slyney need to prove their fitness after injury. Thackray was excellent last season but he's getting on. We can probably expect at least one of our forwards to have a lengthy spell on the sidelines. Everett needs to step up, the others are relative unknowns as far as I'm concerned .Too often last season we were defeated by heftier teams just smashing us up the middle of the park. I'd like to see Big Sadiq get a few games - he's still with us yes?

Scarily I am going to agree with Cowgirl, without a leader on the park yep we generally got gibbet. Creativity hmm leadership is the key as Hendo showed. What happened at widnes yep got spanked but generally with Hendo on the park we played better.
This Pacific island lad might step up to the mark.
Hopefully slyney can stay fit
