Hudds are doing what they did last year, they grind down teams.
I think we are a better team than Hudds but they beat us at MM because we didn't look ready, we were flat the week before v Wigan and even to some extent KR in game 2.

I thought they looked very ordinary against Cas though, and I think they're liable to have a good few games like that throughout the year. Top 6 team but I don't think they'll seriously challenge the big 4...

note: KR is technically game 1 but i know what i meant.

Not sure about us and Leeds, tbh. I think our dogs might have had their day and they're now putting their paws up waiting for the pups to learn the tricks.

I'd be very surprised if any side heavily reliant on Lee Briers demonstrated the level of consistency and commitment required to win a SL title.

I think there's just the big 3 at moment in you guys, Wigan and wire..

Are we really so heavily reliant on Briers nowadays??.....Personally, as a Wire fan, I'd worry more about losing Michael Monaghan, than Briers.

Ultimately, the days of us being a one-man team are long, long gone.....One thing Tony Smith has definitely done is drilled Wire into a well organised, confident team, who don't just look to one player for inspiration.
