I would hope we would be at least second favourite come the start of the season , Newcastle will be odds on if the rumours are anything to go by.
Barrow could also be a dark horse , however that will probably depend on how many players they can retain from their Championship squad.
Cant see Hunslet , Keighley or Workington having the financial clout to worry any of the above if the Donny board splash the cash.
It states on the Halifax forum we have signed a winger that was of interest to them , however they could not match Doncaster's offer, which if true bodes well for our chances of competing for the quality players available.
