Wire have a young centre Rhys Evans who has every chance of becoming a big name in Super League.

I went through my list twice, God knows how I could forget the best talent of the lot!!!!

Rhys Evans was the best young player I saw at academy level last year.

Funkin' eck. You don't half have above your quota.

Warrington seem to have impressed the pundits. skybet have the Dire 3rd favourite for winning the GF behind us and the whinos in 1st place.

think bradford and hull will be stronger this year

I think Bradford are the outsiders with the halfs they have could rip up any team on there day !

They haven't got much strength in depth though. Beyond their 17, it is all youngsters with not much experience between them.

sounds familiar

I'm pretty happy that after Leeds the 3 favourites for the league are the local sides of Saints, Wigan and Warrington. Yes we all have a rivalry but it makes for an interesting season and the games between the 3 teams should be as good as we've seen for a long while. The Wigan and Warrington game has been getting bigger year on year and the Derby looks to be back in decent health after our shambolic preformences in recent times.

As for the chances of the 3......I expect Saints to still be challenging Leeds in the top 2. I said it a few times last year and i'll say it again you need Leon Pryce to stand up as the senior halfback at the club and lead the way. He went missing far too often last season but if he can find that form you'll go very very close in both comps.

I'd imagine Wire and Wigan will be there or thereabouts. I think Wires got the better first 17 but we may have a little more depth provided by some top class kids and then slightly more experienced guys like Goulding, Pryce, Mossop, McIlorum etc. I can see us along with Wire, Catalans and Huddersfield battling it out for positions 3-6.

Should be fun.

If Saints don't start well or get any more than one or two injuries we won't threaten the top 4 let alone the top 2. People have forgotten how simply awful we were last season. Even when we were winning it was like pulling teach. This season we're down on experienced players so could add headlesschickenitis to the general lack of pace and attacking flair and strength in depth.
