Am I right in thinking that it is going to be top 6 again next year?

Yes, as things stand.
In my view it’s the very definition of rewarding mediocrity when the team that finishes half way down the league is given a shot at winning the competition by playing well for a few games.

westerbeast73 wrote: 27 Dec 2020, 17:34 So Sky bet have Cas joint 4th to win the Grand final with plenty of other teams at 12/1. Hope we can have a season free from injuries this Year to be honest. If the starting 17 stay fit we can beat any team on the day.
Saints,Wigan & Warrington should be top 3 in the 2021 regular season's finishing positions.

We are joint 4th with 4 other sides
Catalans
Giants
Hull FC
Rhinos

So if the bookies are correct then we will finish between 4th and 8th but above
Hull KR
Salford
Trinity and
Leigh

IMO Dragons,Giants,Hull FC and Rhinos will all finish above us (although not in that particular order)

Hope i'm wrong though,but 2021 is certainly a big season for us and if the full season is played out to the full and uninterrupted then it will show us where we are as a club.

Realistically speaking, where is the line in the sand for us in the posters opinions on here as to what finishing position is deemed a successful one?
I think it’s a bit more complex that the final league position. I’d rather win the cup and finish fifth/sixth than finish higher up the table but still win nothing.
I’d be happy with a top 4 finish and a decent dig at making the GF come the play-offs. If we won the cup I’d be happy with 5th or 6th and a decent go at the play-offs.
Anything below 6th is a poor season.

I would confidently predict the league table based in the four players who make up the spine of each team.
1 - Coote/Lomax/Fages/Roby
2 - French/Hastings/Field or Leuluai/Powell.
3 - Ratchford/Widdop/Austin/Clark
4 - Evalds/Trueman/Richardson/McShane
5 - Tomkins/Maloney/Drinkwater/McIllorum
6 - Walker or Myler/Gale/Lui/Leeming
7 - Connor/Sneyd/Reynolds/Houghton
8 - Golding/Sezer/Cogger/O’Brien
9 - Escare/Lolohea/Brown/Ackers
10 - Walker/Miller/Lino/Wood
11 - Quinlan/Abdul/????/Parcell
12 - ????/Brierley/Ellis/Hood.

IMO the return to having scrums (or not) will have a big influence on our season, as DP's strategies have previously been largely based around structures from scrums and restarts, but the 'frantic' rugby since the restart of 2020 didnt suit us at all.
If the 6 again and no scrums rules are scrapped I am more optimistic for 2021, with a top 4 finish a real possibility.

Strong rumour Widdop is heading back to Australia too, so much might depend on who they recruit to take his place, or if they move Ratchford into the halves and play Ashton (who looked good) at full-back.

Like you probably know Trueman was supposed to be signing for them. Time will tell on that one, I would prefer O'Brien at 6 anyway to be honest.

I agree Sneyds just a ok player for me now too... I'd give them Josh Reynolds being a top player ...if he stays out of trouble

Given tomorrow’s LE reports that Widdop is likely to stay at Warrington, I wonder where that’ll leave Jake Trueman when his signing for them is announced...😬😬

If this is true there goes are, chance off a financial safety net off a large income into the club. Can't see any other club daft enough to pay a, massive transfer fee for a just above average player

You were the one who was on here claiming it was a done deal? Therefore, why you now asking “if this is true”?

Not that good of a source, apparently.

A “done deal” would indict the contracts were signed, so Warrington realising he’s not worth the money would be irrelevant, wouldn’t it?
