2005

Post by DaiJones »

Can I interest anyone in buying Iestyn Harris for 2005? Have heard he is going cheap...No? thought not, I'd much rather he stayed and helped us win the World Cup in 2007 to be honest..I take it we aren't buying anyone else this season, that squad looks big on heart but short on experience for me this year..Carney can't possibly reproduce last season's form again (can he?) I hate to say it but I see us being a natural third again and maybe punching above our weight to get into a final and lose...damn salary cap

I agree with you Dai, anything above 3rd will be a big achievement. As for Spotty Harris, his ego wouldn't fit into our squad, and there's not really a slot in the team for him anyway. We don't need him, and personally I'd be very angry if we did sign him next year or any year.

leeds web site are sure harris is going back to them. and o"neil is a disgrace to the game widnes would be doing themselves a favour in getting rid as soon as possible.and as for wigan finishing third well maybe but these young lads have a lot of heart and that may win a few more games than we expect don't be suprised at second spot!!

Were going to finish in the top 3, its so close this season i really dont know who will win.

Hull last season were so unlucky with injurys they were the only team worse than ourselves at one point, Bulls are i think a bit weaker this year, Saint have bought well but i still think they will be looking to hit form the season after. Leeds look really good for me and are the real dark horses.

Warrington will be better this year but like saints are still building and wont really challenge for my money.

Top 6 will deffo be Wigan,Bradford,Hull,Leeds,Saints,Warrington

Yeah Leeds have got a dead good side and are going to be the team to look out for this season. I thought they where unlucky not to win anything last season. Remember the Challenge Cup final? :with:

A lot I think depends on injuries...thought we were unlucky with some of our last season but feel we will do really well as kept the same team pretty much as last year so they all knoe each other and can play well together...as for Harris heard hes going back to Leeds about May time as something to do with his contract of Leeds getting the first offer on him (although he has stated he would rather go to Bradford) bet that went down well :) but we definately dont need him hes far too over rated
