@mattdunnell Recruitment last year was made doubly hard by every man and his dog assuming we were losing SL status. Is anyone surprised big plays for King, Oledzski etc failed? Now we're left with scraps. Maybe this year will be easier with us 9th in the rankings 🙏

@Johnymccusker @TheGameCaller @CTRLFC Gladly. We might stand a chance of mopping up those 0.35 bonus points 😅

@TigerTowns88 @ste_rugbyleague @TheGameCaller @CTRLFC Glad you read it how I did. Winning SL with the lowest spend in the league!

@HJPM2001 @TheGameCaller @CTRLFC True. Before that I had us 1st obviously. 😉

@ste_rugbyleague @TigerTowns88 @TheGameCaller @CTRLFC I'm sorry? What? Are you trying to compare SL to Championship here? (It's only 1.3m as well btw)

@ste_rugbyleague @TigerTowns88 @TheGameCaller @CTRLFC I imagine not in the Championship.

@HJPM2001 @TheGameCaller @CTRLFC Sadly you missed this it seems...

@TigerTowns88 @GardnerBrandan And I'm not blaming Lawler btw. Not his fault he's been taking from his best position.

@TigerTowns88 @GardnerBrandan Painful isn't it. Feels like we are shouting into an abyss.

@TigerTowns88 @TheGameCaller @CTRLFC Ultimately squad strength isn't how P and R is decided anymore. It can't be deemed correct when one side does it and a 'mistake' when one doesn't. We could have a season like London or FC last year and it wouldn't matter. Although fans will soon begin to walk away..

@TigerTowns88 @GardnerBrandan I'm thinking a couple of games early last year before his awful head issue. Besides that...none?

@TigerTowns88 @TheGameCaller @CTRLFC Everything r.e. performance on pitch is accurate. Everything else is wrong. You can poke a 1,000 holes in some of his arguments. The same mistakes that got us Grade A last year? The same big screen and ground investments that Bradford have just done in the last month?

@GardnerBrandan Surprised you weren't in that camp tbh! We "replaced" Millo with Lawler (a 2nd row) and Matagi (a 15 min impact prop)

@grahamj1948 Don't be a fool Graham. You know the criteria are widely available.

@M_Shaw1 Was it? #NewCasEra was so 2022 🤣

@Sidneykidney4 Not really. Alarm bells have been ringing since last season ended tbh and seeing the ins and outs. The squad we ended up with isn't exactly built for drab weather and mud baths either.

@hullareyou78382 They've had incredible fortune with injuries for several years now. Surely at some point, even a mini injury crisis has to hit them. If so they'll struggle. I agree Saints might struggle but they've never missed the playoffs in the SL era. Can't see 9th happening!

@hullareyou78382 I'll do a forfeit of your choice if Salford finish 4th and Saints 9th 🫣

Time for 2025 predictions. (It won't be pretty) 1. Wigan 2. Warrington 3. KR 4. Saints 5. Leeds 6. Catalans 7. Leigh 8. FC 9. Salford 10. Wakefield 11. Hudds 12. Cas
