No, it's because you stated and that's wrong as I showed you. As well as the comment about players that can play 2 positions being rubbish at both, which is just wrong.
Also, we've had constant negative posters on here for years, sometimes with good reason, but I'm not sure what you're game's been this season, after we've finally got what we've all been after for decades, a man who has the cash and the will to finally take us somewhere. As I've said, I just don't understand it all in the slightest, this continuous negative spin you seem to put on most things the club seems to do, just a constant bad buzz.

Anyway, I haven't answered the question yet, I'd be disappointed with less than 8 wins tbh, but I'm hopeful of getting low double figures if things work out on the injury front and the players can click.

Never said any player is rubbish So please get your facts right Just said for what we have spent expected more

I've worked in betting industry too.
The starting odds are not worked out by the traders. They are sorted by central companies that distribute to most big gaming companies like Bet Fred or Bet365.
The traders then adjust those odds depending on how much has been bet on that team.
Also Rugby isn't a bit money earner for them so focus on it less.

If you want to see the odds change, put a £1000 on Wakefield. They'll change the odds to cover the potential loss but not by much as it's a real outside bet.

So the odds are worked out by 3 things
Likelihood of the win
Likelihood of someone betting on it
......and then changes in circumstances like a key player being injured.

You are right that any large bet (or a run of smaller stake bets) would change the price as the liquidity in these markets is small . However , in the case of RL , bookies won't buy into a central feed as the interest is too low to make it financially viable . They do this type of business on the higher profile sports , football being the prime example . In the case of RL they will use in house compilers as mentioned above . Some of the smaller bookies may use a public site , such as an odds comparison site , to set their lines for the week , and then change , as you mention , with weight of money/team news.

Expected more, yet you haven't named ONE player who you would have signed instead.

I expect us to compete for 80 mins in each game. How many will we win will depend on how we keep our injuries to a minimum and take advantage of other teams when they get them. I hope we win every game, I think we will win between 10 and 14.

With some strong clubs at the start I think it would be wise to see where we are come round 8-10 for a good early season review.

I think the frustration is that you are not explaining your point.
We don't know why you are disappointed.

From my point, I like what we've done but there are some unknowns. That's not disappointing. Just unknown.
