Kebabdull is an ok player at championship level but I wouldn't sign him since we're very well stocked at halfback. Other than a winger (which will probably end up being Tindall) I think the squad is good enough now.

I know we have 3 halfbacks, but Abdull has just left Hull before even playing a game for them in his 2nd stint. Wishful thinking but I would take him.

Hardly ever fit. Talented but the epitome of "sicknote"

Good enough for what? Is the question.
Wakefield haven't been replaced in this division to the same extent. So we should be looking at better than last year. Which is 1st or 2nd.
I think we can target a 1895 cup final as well

I think we're good enough to finish top two and get to the final of the 1895 cup. We're significantly stronger than any time since 2015.

It's been a good few years since we've been able to speculate about some success.... But this really could be our best year since being relegated.... A trip to Wembley would be very welcome

A trip to Wembley would be brilliant! Certainly achievable with the squad we have. Injuries will play a huge part.

Are there any betting odds out yet? Are we favourites?

Liam Tindall has now left the club after his trial came to an end.

Surprised at that. We have Okunbor, Taufua, Blake, Gill and Armitage to cover the threequarters. Maybe Waine as backup centre. If we lose a winger we're moving Blake out there. Last year we lost Taufua for a fair period. Do we really want to be putting our main centre on the wing as soon as we get an injury or suspension?

Apparently, Bailey Lui can play in the centres and has often done so for Sheffield
