I have to say I agree with Rob. As much as I don't like to appear negative or defeatist, I really think we'll struggle on Sunday. As much as I would love to say we'll go out there and put x amount of points up Batley and come away with the points, I think we're staring at a defeat.
I have been less than impressed with us during the pre-season (before anyone has a pop, I understand PM is trying the young lads and new things etc). I think we'll get better as the season goes on, but anyone expecting a top 4 or 6 finish this season may be disappointed.
On paper IMO we are a much weaker team than last season and have lost not just quality players, but experience and I'm not sure we've filled those voids. I'll never know, but I'd love to know last years team budget Vs this years as I fear there will be a disparity. I could be wrong and honestly hope I am.
Anyway, back to the point.
