Wigan have clearly been the best side so far this season with only the odd performance being below their high standard. Giants have impressed for the most part but they still seem short of the steel in the biggest games. Catalans look a fine side, too, and not far short of contesting finals. My own side, Wire, have not played as well as in 2011, and need to improve considerably if we want to win any silverware, but on the positive side we have brought through several new under 20s players who look like genuine SL standard. London have been the biggest disappointment, and as a former 'part time supporter' during my years living in the capital I'm truly sad that they look weaker this year than ever. Individuals to impress include Scott Dureau, Luke Robinson, Sam Tomkins, and Richard Whiting. I have to disagree over Gareth Hock, though, who is the biggest thug in SL and seriously needs an attitide adjustment.

London,s Coach and team failure but too depressed to add anything at the moment
