Id like to think a full time squad will not be losing 6 or 7 games especially with the full time wigan lads helping us out. Our fitness and preparation should be well in front. I think if it's a decent night wel put Bradford away comfortably

I am merely providing evidence that you don’t know what you are talking about, I do accept that you had a specific need for acceptance by backing the incumbents. I still believe you questioned the abilities of Peters at KR.

Come on Scarlet, I only just finished the other silly thread.
Who cares what he said in the past.

We have a good team, nice ground, and a guy with loads of money.
Let's just celebrate that for a while.

I genuinely think we’ll have a bullseye on our back with most teams this year. Newly relegated from SL, favourites to bounce back up, new wealthy owner.

Personally i think we will put Bradford to the sword quite easily. Their league position has been flatterd by their home advantage of bring used to playing on a midden of a pitch, that isnt even legal within the laws of the game.
Our full size pitch with superior playing surface and a squad that should be fitter and better coached will see them off quite comfortably.
Home advantage at their dump may be a tougher ask though.

The only memories I have of Odsal is being near hypothermic the entire time.

I agree. We are going to be playing a lot of teams targeting us. They are coming as underdogs and we know how that helps a team.
We'll need to play to our best every week if we want that GF win.

We will and that’s a good thing imo. Look how it’s benefitted Leigh. They entered SL with a swagger and a winning mentality and it’s served them well.

I don’t think we need to win every game and I doubt we will as it’s a tougher league than two years ago, but I think we must make ourselves the team to beat.

Re: First game vs Bradford : Mon Dec 04, 2023 8:53 pm  

Correct me if I am wrong , but finishing top of the league gives you a massive advantage in that every play off game is at home including the final. Therefore that must be our target to finish top.
