How many games will we win. : Thu Nov 21, 2024 10:05 pm  

Before we use to win 6 or 7 matches = 12 to 14 points apart from our last season in SL. On a good season we could win 10 = 20 points, so what's our predictions?

Key is home games, BV needs to be our fortress over the last few years we didn't win enough home games

Bookmakers have Cas and ourselves as the least likely teams to win the League with Huddersfield the other big outsiders. I think we need as fans to be realistic, the transformation of our club over the last year has been staggering, its unbelievable, its amazing and what a fabulous season we have just enjoyed. SL 2025 is arguably on paper the toughest yet, would it be fair to suggest that ourselves, Cas, Hudds, possibly Hull and possibly Salford ( depending on how they come through their financial challenge and there by the grace of Matt Ellis go us ) are in a mini league and to finish 8th would be a fabulous achievement for us. To finish 8th would we need 11 wins ?
11 wins would be a great season and we as fans should be very happy with that, 5 wins would be poor , 6 or 7 wins would be expected by pundits and outsiders I think.
That said I am 100 % confident that Matt Ellis, the coaching team and players will all be aiming higher than 11 wins.

I hope they are aiming higher, but I'm am realistic enough to accept if we win 10 games we'll have gone very well. That would put us in the 8th to 10th placings IMO.

Could throw Hull FC into that lower table mix too. And I don’t think Leigh - with a couple of players out injured - are much stronger than us. That’s what makes this season so good - we could win between 5 and 15 games. So I’ll go in the middle with 10!
