Obviously we want to win everything, but I want a wembley appearence (preferably a win of course) but its been ages since we were there and i miss it!

We won the big one last year and most of us think we've improved our squad with signings and youngsters getting a year older.

Got to be going for any silverware available.

Good cup run and defend our crown.

We are capable of winning both competitions and that should be the aim.
Winning either would be classed as a successful year in my opinion.
Winning neither would be disappointing.

A Wembley win would be nice. But really we should be aiming to clean up. I'd certainly consider it a failure if this squad finished the season empty handed.

Ambitions or realistic expectations?

Do you think we are stronger than last year ?

We have the potential to be yes. The kids are a year older and more experienced, and we're performing at a similar level to those they're replacing last year. Coupled with the dream that one season we won't have a crippling number of injuries, we can only improve in a lot of respects!

I would say our pack is a bit weaker but overall the team is far better balanced.

I dont think the pack is any weaker. Soliola & Manu out, Vea in on paper is a "loss", but the likes of Walmsley, Thompson, Greenwood, Richards should all be improved this year, making us stronger I reckon.

Its the lack of another experienced grafting prop that worries me. There seems to be a lot of pressure on Richards who is a young prop going into his second season. An injury to any 2 of Masoe, Amor and Walmsley at the same time could leave us in trouble.

Worst case scenario is LMS and Thompson are moved up to the front row? Walker should have some game time too.

Even if Mose, Amor, Walmsley and Richards are injured we'd still have LMS, Walker, Thompson and Savelio as a front row rotation, which is far from terrible imo, similar to the team that beat Leeds at LP
