Looking at the league fixture list ... I think we will be pushed in 10 out of the remaining 13 games.
Given our injuries, and possible additions given our track record, we will struggle to finish top of the pile.
Oddly enough the bookies could be right and it might be Oldham, sorry or was that our friend Schofield.
It will be Whitehaven, Oldham, Skolars or Hunslet rather than us.
And that's ignoring Worky and Newcastle.
What would a finish in 7th elicit?
We will be in the mix surely?

We did this last year and I wrote us off and then the coach had a settled team. Who knows, predictions are fun (or not) we will end up where we end up (tired cliche time) it will all come out in the wash (provided the launderette stays in business)

There is a heck of a lot to play for.

Well he ain't got a settled team this time ...

That's the difference. If I could pick a full strength side if everyone was fit even minus Hull players but including loans I could name the best side in this league. This is leading me to an inevitable conclusion and I'm inclined to agree with Jemmo. The issue is not with players here.

No kidding but in what way, settled as in the same or unsettled as in unhappy?

I wonder what Jay Silverheels would have thought of all these loan signings

I mean he is struggling to field any side nevermind the same one.
It's unravelling.
We could really do without playing Catalans. It could be carnage.
They just slam into you.

I share your concerns over that fixture, we won't face a bigger team than them.
