That would do me, with a giving Leeds a pasting as well

Sporting Index are apparently the first to give odds on drop from Super League.
They have HKR as favourite for drop, Huddersfield second favourite and Wakefield Trinity third favourite.

Like everyone else, it depends on 1: injuries, 2: form 3: luck.

All you can do is start a season with a team capable of taking advantage of points 2 and 3 and hope point 1 stays at a minimum. I think we have such a team.

I've never been afraid to agree with you mate and you're spot on there.
That doesn't mean we're friends though.

You were doing ok until number 3, unless you were including the reserves and academy.

Unless Toronto make some big signings (and apparently they won't) they must be favourites to go down.
Unless of course they change the rules mid season.

It is what it is and will hopefully give them something to prove.; it is amazing how one season finishing 9th due to be the most injury hit team in the league, makes us in the opinion of the bookies to finish even worse.
People have short memories in Sport & forget what progress Trinity were making up until we were 3rd in the league this season completely unraveled.

It's amazing that Toronto are higher than a fair number of experienced SL Clubs but yet they haven't signed a soul yet and when you look at their squad, I'd have Hull and Hudds ahead atm.

Think 8 or 9 is about right .Think a lot will depend on what the coaches have learnt from last season .If we pick up injurys in the forwards we can replace and not lose to much power . But over all a few injury to the backs and I think we will struggle to get any higher

Re: Reality : Sat Nov 02, 2019 8:13 pm  

Top 5 is a very realistic target. Happy with the signings so far, and hopefully more to come. Just need a bit of luck with injuries this year.
