Go on I’ll humour you… do you think we can compete with Saints and Wire next season if we don’t bring in two experienced props and quality replacements for Hastings and Gildart?
It depends on numerous factors. Saints couldnt live with us in 2014 but they won the league and we didn't. If we somehow play our best 17 every week and they have 9 or 10 missing all season then who knows what might happen?
A good coach can get a little extra out of players that leads them to achieve things they should never achieve.
Shaun Wane managed a side that quality wise got worse season after season but he pulled that extra 20% out of them when it mattered. I'm not his biggest fan in terms of his playing style, but he would have taken this side further than Lam has and I would back him to take 17 blokes out the pub further than he should do as well.
