Don't really see either being any stronger than ours imo

No way of knowing until the season gets underway, I suppose.

This league is so unpredictable, don't bet against another "Hyde" coming from nowhere to challenge this season.

Worcester seemed strong towards back end of last season, and have made a few improvements

I think we just need to get a good start 4 win able games in the first 6, with Chester and Gainsbourgh presenting good tests

Not bothered about anyone else. We have the quality to mount a challenge.

It seems Lee has gone for a smallish squad of quality, rather than big numbers including cloggers. That's fine by me - a gamble worth taking given our biggish but far from biggest budget. If we avoid injuries and suspensions, we'll do well this season. Anyone in the division would love our new centre back pairing, Nicky Clee, Shaun Densmore, James Lawrie or Damian Reeves. And I think Rodgers will add the steel we've been missing too.
