tbgfc Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Who do people think will win the league based on current signing so far. Think this season will be closer than last with no clear favourite it could be anyone of 6 teams for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbgfc Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 Oldham have also signed well and Hunslet will be in the mix. Newcastle always seem to promise a lot but seem to bottle it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I agree about Newcastle . Big talk around them and that brings big expectations . New experience for them and it’s a big jump from where they’ve been and a lot of new players . Not saying they won’t deliver but it’s not a given . I’d say again , especially taking out York n Bradford , that there’s nothing to fear in this league , it’s much of a muchness among the top few . If our recruitment until we finish our squad goes well I can see us winning it . We’ve as big a chance as anyone . Away form us always key so got to nail that consistently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away form us always key so got to nail that consistently Town will definitely one of the favourites to win but that all depends on whos recruited as you say, at the minute i think town look quite weak in certain areas but as we all know that can change with a couple of key signings.

Havenfan13 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Any of the top 4 is lottery game and any team can win on their day I believe Newcastle are the team to beat this year and it will be between haven town and them to go up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieTownie Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I think strength is a bit of an over exaggeration. The Elbra or Wath Brow sides of a good few years ago would’ve won this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think Haven will need a extra year with a new coach and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your Rugby knowledge amazes me GT this league is a lot better than you give it credit for. Maybe the Egremont team of 1998 or the Wathbrow team of 2002 would of competed but as for winning the league no chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanMac Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I think it will be wide open to be honest. Newcastle have recruited well but as both west Cumbrian teams know that is not a guarantee of success. I hope both our teams are up there and hope that for once we both have a bit of luck with injuries. Our squad building is still ongoing and if Haven can add some big fellas to their squad it might be a good year for Cumbrian rugby. As always it will depend as to how we travel and whether we can pick up those vital away wins.Although it is a small league I think it could turn into a very interesting season.
