I still think you'd write off Sts next year at your peril. If they stay fit, they'll effectively have 5 better players in their squad than they had available in the GF. Even this year, take out both of Wigan's halfbacks and is anyone sure the result would have been the same?

Saints are considerably stronger next year - injury crisis permitting.

They've upgraded significantly in some areas where they were arguably weak in 2010 even before injuries hit.

Unless Leeds do the same they'll be scrambling to make the top 4 in 2011 IMO behind Wigan, Saints and Warrington.

We're 2 players light at the moment, I'd expect at least 1 external signing really.

With a new South Stand to pay for and two weeks passed since the end of Leeds season, the silence coming out of Headingley regarding 2011 recruitment is deafening...

We're still some pace in the backs short of winning finals though.

Our only pace in the backs comes from our halves, with a bit of zip from Shenton.
