With this squad. Are we favourites to win promotion? : Sun Jan 17, 2016 2:34 pm  

We seem to have a very strong squad. We also have a very big squad.

Should we be optimistic about our chances?

I think we must be favs with the additions we've made this year.

Our fixtures seem a bit lop sided this year, 5 in a row against the southern sides in April and May,
then the last 6 are all against the tougher northern sides plus an away trip in France.

With having a bigger squad this might help with those tough teams all at the end of the season.

Does anyone else think the idea of a French side in
This league is complete nonsense , especially away games ?

Having a side from France is absolutely ridiculous but I would imagine that the RFL will be subsidising the travel and missed-work costs, as they have imposed the additional costs of inclusion.

Anyway, being 'Cougar exiles', we will be there as it's slightly further than travelling 'back home'.
