To finish tenth or better in Super League in 2022 will require additions to the squad of sufficient quality to be worthy of finishing at that level without expecting all the players to play above themselves every week. I would expect Castleford and Huddersfield to be competitors for ninth and ten positions next season, so we need to build a squad equal or better than Cas. A tough ask given the comparative recruitment so far, but if the ambition is there maybe we are in the market to recruit players of the required standard to meet this ambition. I remain surprised that we have failed to retain some of our better players who are reported to be playing elsewhere next season. I just hope that they will be replaced with higher quality.

10th is plenty good enough as only those in positions 11 - 14 would be relegated, your post therefore makes zero sense !

As you rightly say Ste , 10 place would be a huge success , I’d be over the moon , I’m sure all Leythers including Derek would be .

10th would be the beginnings of sustainability. That would do for me for next season (if things change as widely rumoured).

Can't really see that the 11 SL clubs - we are only a visitor - are going to vote for a reduction in funding by going to 14 clubs, but if it meant by going to 14 SL clubs that is going to deprive some clubs of their much needing funding then I will take relegation first and build from there.

Well maybe 10 take a bit of a hit next year to benefit from the new deal
