Go on then, give us your informed assessment of the new players we've recruited for 2014. I'm intrigued as to why you believe our new players are 'mediocre' and 'underwhelming'?

He seems to be a Yorkshire RL fan Jim, I am sure we know next week will be tough - but more importantly PR will know that.
Our team looks much better than last year and has much more depth to it, if we get a ref who allows things to flow then I am confident we can come through well.

Seems ex player Kieron Purtill will be interviewed in the Ledgends bar next Sunday and no doubt will explain how easy it is to beat the Pies.

I hope we get a ref that that allows the game to flow too. Although saying that Littler, McNally, Goulden and Barlow can be niggly to say the least so I hope the ref has some balls as well.

Just had a look at Leigh's website and you certainly do have a good looking squad and will have 17 quality players all year long. Mick Govin for me is as good as half back or hooker in the division.

I did hear a story, from a very good source at Fax that Alex Brown turned down a £18k signing on fee with them to join you boys for more money, so hopefully KPMG won't come a knocking.

Wow. Judging by some of these posts, the rest of the Championship might as well not bother turning up next season.

We'll see, eh?

I believe the key to our season will be our pack, especially in the second half of games. Big, mobile, fit and a good mix of youth and experience. Tough to contain for 80 mins.
This will be a very competitive season but I firmly believe we have the team and depth to be in the top 2.

Would be very foolish to under estimate Batley I'm 100% sure Rowls won't !!

No it isn't a private forum so go with the flow and join the banter. It sounds as if you are the one who doesn't like what is posted. Sports fans have talked up their own team since Adam was a lad, get used to it.
