We have strengthened in the pack but I think the old halfback problems will prevent us from winning anything this year.

If Walsh plays like he did last year and stays fit, we have a chance of winning something but no support in the halves will make it harder for him.

If Walsh gets injured we are stuffed.

Me too.
Some fans seem to think that Wigan, Saints and Hudds will break away from Wire and Leeds. I cant see it myself, Leeds backline looks especially good. As for yourselves, its a big year losing alot of the old guard, but then thats what you were critisized for in the last couple of years.
Big year for wire, first real transitional year as one of the top teams

I think it will be Hudds, Saints and Wigan for the top three slots, in any order.

Wire have just lost so much experience and only signed Asotasi . England hasn't a SL game to his name. Also Ben Currie is No17 and 18-24 is very lacking in experience. Briers and Morley having gone will be massive, also Hodgson as he brought a lot to the team.

Leeds have a great 3/4 line, their forwards have experience but are well over 30. How many games will Leuluai, JJB & Delaney play? Peacock is immense for Leeds if anything happened to him they'd be scuppered.

As for the bottom two for the drop, surely London and one other between Wakey and Widnes. Why did those three clubs vote to bring back relegation?
