The "new coach" factor, new ideas, new found confidence, determination to impress. More factors than just new players. I think they will be dangerous this year.

Plus Watkins back fit, I'm with you, I think Leeds will be knocking on the door again this year

Strong and well balanced squad on paper,not too perturbed about Roberts absence as it's almost becoming the norm and a chance for DP to play around with the formation. Would like to have had a couple more games pre season to sort that so a shame the Sheffield game was cancelled. Hopefully a few of the lesser lights will step up as they have in previous seasons.Will be interesting to see how we go against the revamped Rhinos could prove very informative. The salary cap dispensation could prove to be an ace up our sleeves whether we sign a half back or not, I would hope somewhere out there is a player who could improve our squad,and we have potential to offer a player plus cash deal for the right fit.

Yeh they have added 2 half decent players but the rest are the same ones who were in the middle 8s last season.
2 new players plus watkins back. but on the downside jjb, ablett, cuthbertson, and ferres have a combined age of about 140.

Did anyone hear Fatfita moaning the other day about reduced substitutes? He reckons it’s not fair on the forwards. Yeah especially the fat overweight ones.

Looking forward to seeing how we fair against the Rhinos,new coach new players,new stand.
We have an opportunity to put down a marker.
Pity about Gale but we faired well without him for a fair chunk of last season.
Being a friendly we will not see the effect of reduced interchanges.
Our forwards are all capable of big minutes so l think it may favour our pack and the way we play.
I think it will be a hard game and Watkins will be keen to show what the Headingley faithful have been missing .
However l fancy us for this one.

I’m surprised people think leeds will be challengers this year. Mostly the same team. The three big signings they have made aren’t exactly fantastic. Merrin is the definition of a plodder from what I’ve seen. Hurrell can be fantastic but equally has games where he is awful. And loleheia is best described as bang average in my opinion. A lot of money spent but not a lot gained from it imo

They have the potential to be very very good this year they lacked a creative coach last year a solid halve to play alongside myler they missed Watkins for a fair bit they have potentially two of the best centres in the comp if hurrel and Watkins keep fit and reach there potential outside them anyone could be up in the top scorers the bit they may come unstuck with is there pack.
Defo should be considered contenders imo. 2 or three injury's to key players and they could come a cropper imo
