| maguire comes as a very highly rated young australian coach.
tony smith has started to work his wonders at warrington winning the CC last year
watching leeds / st helens GFs is boring as the decline in GF crowds has shown.
both wigan and warrington are the 2 clubs who have promised so much in terms of winning SL yet every year dont.
it wouldnt surprise me to see either team or both finishing in 1st or 2nd place.
both clubs could easily add 5000 to last seasons crowds if things go right on the park.

| Don't rule us out.
I think we could have a say in the final shake up.

| The most "OPEN" soooooooperdoooooper league ever (again!!!!!) means that it's a Rhino's v Saints GF!!!!
All the bookies seem to go the same way.
I can't really see any alternative but Wigan/Bulls may make a dent with dark horses being Catalans/Wolves.
The rest, IMO are there to make up the numbers.
For the good of the game a Catalans v HKR final would be great but aint gonna happen. ( Maybe the Challange Cup?)

| You might get a new GF this year, it is possible.
But I very much doubt Wigan or Wire will finish 1st in the league. Can't see beyond Leeds for that position.

| Leeds will walk it. Second is seriously up for grabs and Dally, learn something. There's no way on gods green earth Wire can add 5000 to their crowd average this year. Even if we won the league

i cop so much s**t for bagging clubs, you do have to respect some english RL clubs
i remember on the train up north seeing field after field with soccer posts on it.
as i was approaching wigan i saw a field with RL posts and saw an RL oasis in the desert.
ive got zero interest in seeing saints and leeds in teh SL GF. this was this first year since 2000 i havent watched it cause its same old.
look what brown did for huddersfield. maguire is at least as good as him

they have realised that they can't buy trophies anymore, which is payback for murdering the game for the thick end of ten years.

| I think St Helens will end the Leeds/St Helens "domination" or more specifically Keiron Cunnigham. I just see them struggling when Cunningham retires. Every time I watch them they are a struggling side when he doesn't play and oppositions best spells in games seem to be when he is having a rest on the bench. Of course he's still there but will his body hold up?

Brilliant.
I think Wigan, Warrington, Bradford and Les Catalans all look much stronger sides. I have reservations about McNamara at Bradford, but their squad on paper looks excellent if you base it on reputation. But form will have the biggest say on how they get on. If Orford and Kearney click they could cause the top two problems.
Hull FC have made some shrewd recruits. They have a strong squad and will be far more competitive next season.
