next years betting

[dettoriman]

I’d price us up at 8/1 for a Grand Final - Unless we replace Zak with a high calibre player, Were going to struggle to compete at the top end all season.

Wigan And St Helens are likely to be far stronger next year, Hull won’t be going anywhere.

[TownvillesTiger]

There's no way we should be favorites for a Challenge Cup or a Grand Final.

Especially with St's coming strong, Wigan getting players back, Experience of Leeds and Warrington cant possibly be as bad as they were last season.

This season was the best opportunity we'll have for along time, IMO.

We might not run away wiith the the league, or even win it, but if this year has taught us anything it's that the top four teams will be 160 minutes from being champions (presuming no golden-point extra time, obviously). Anywhere in that top 4 and you are two wins from glory, even if you are 20 points behind the team at the top. As we have seen, anything can happen in play-off rugby.

Agreed. The way we played all year bar the odd game, we should have won it

Next few years it will be much harder

[The Firm]

Think we have missed a great chance this year, next year will be much tougher with a better Saints for the whole year, Warrington investing and with a change of coaching team and a Wigan desperate to make amends. We need to find a quality fullback and a meter eating prop otherwise it will be lower top 8 mediocrity i reckon. With those two additions then we’ll be around the top four again.

Now we've won the league I'd be happy with a top 4 place next year. A lot of focus was put on winning the LLS this year and rightly so but I'd sacrifice that for another shot at the grand final.i don't think it's too big of a ask to win 17/18 games from 30.

As JJB said in his interview the aim is to win only one game. Doesnt matter how you get there.

Id settle for top 8 and winning the CC

You'd be happy dropping from winning the league by 10 points to finishing 8th?

[Tamworth Tiger]

No and I'm happy that the coach and players won't be that defeatist either

[WF10]

I'm sure someone on here posted something about a Q&A session they'd been to at the club.

DP, DO & RS were asked which of the 3 trophies they wanted to win if they could only win 1.

DP said LLS and both DO & RS said the Cup. I've got a sneaking suspicion they will get into his ear about focusing more on the Cup next season.

Just my opinion.

If the aim is to win only one game it goes a long way to explaining the faults in our game.

[Sharlotiger]

After how this season as ended I just hope we don't follow in the footsteps of the last 2 previous LLS winners. To stop being the great pretenders we need to sign a couple of quality forwards who wont go missing in the big games.

It is. Winning the league by 10pts made no diff in end. Its all about the 1 game. Its stupid but true

There's absolutely no reason why we should and I don't believe we will

[stuey]

We need to avoid finishing in the bottom 4 as the last two LLS winners have done the following season. We need a full-back or it could well happen again. Top 4 is a wild dream without some signings. A big prop and a full-back needed.

Eden is not the answer at full-back. We lose our most potent attacking threat (he will not score 10 tries at full-back) and he is not godd positionally or devensively. Moving Eden to full back means we lose two players.

[lurcher]

I think the top 8 positions will be very tight next year with not much separating them. I think leeds will fall away again as they have replaced 2 good half backs with a very average Richie myler, plus their already old forwards are another step nearer retirement. if eden goes to full back gary lo could be worth a punt for leading scorer.
