However, I think we need to be more cautious about Wigan.
Everyone is talking up there new coach, but in reality, his experience is very limited.
I can't help thinking Wigan have a Newcastle United syndrome, thinking that the Massiah will come (has come). No one has yet to suggest that perhaps Nobby in fact got the best out of the side, that semi finals in the playoffs is about where that squad is.
Sure, there are some very good performers (with sam having the potential to be great), but many who are ok, who might produce the odd great performance but who really are just average players.
I really like Wigan and Wiganers and always enjoy matches there, often supporting Wigan when it is a 'neutral' match for me, but I can't help feeling that they'll do worse this season than last, and that the hype we've seen about increased fitness and 'comfort zones' is just that.
Riddell and Feka both look a hell of a lot fitter to me.
I think Wigan will stay under the radar a bit this year, people will say that a change of coaching staff alone won't help us, but I think we could get some silverware.
