| Quote: Roy Haggerty "Interesting how many people are tipping Saints, considering we've made no major signings, and are still essentially the team which performed so badly in much of last season, and was still getting beaten in the Super 8s, despite the "recovery".
I think Wigan are unpredictable. Sarginson is returning under a cloud and neither Tomkins nor Burgess who came before him on that path have found their previous form. And losing McIlorum must be an enormous blow to their on-field organisation.'"
I think Saints might be one of those of teams that are very consistent but can't find that extra level in a big do or die game. I fancy them to finish top but not make either final.

Really tough to predict though. I am fairly confident that the bottom three will be correct (not necessarily that order) and I am equally confident Saints and Hull will make the top 4. The rest is anyones guess really. Can Cas back up last years remarkable season without, imo, their most important player? Can Leeds cope with the loss of a couple of club legends better than they did last time? Warrington will improve, but how much will they improve? Will Wigan avoid another injury crisis? Actually, add that to the list of things I'm confident about. They will have used approx. 73 players by mid April.
My dark horse is Huddersfield. There was a lot to like about the back end of their season. If Brough can avoid the petulance and prove he still has it then they might just make a playoff charge. |

You got it monumentally wrong with Wakefield last year. Based on that I expect us to do the double this year  |

Reckon Salford will struggle massively and will go down. A massive shame but the opportunity was squandered a while ago and I don’t see how the club can recover.
Think Toronto will replace Salford.

Indeed I did. IIRC I started by saying you would finish bottom and later changed that to Widnes bottom with you 11th?
I was proven wrong and Wakefield were a joy to watch at times last year and it was a real shame you couldn't scrape that 4th place. Hell if we had already got 3rd sewn up by then I would have even been willing the ref to make a mistake and award that drop goal.
That said I do think the 7 teams I have put ahead of you, should everyone have a fair crack with luck, injuries and everything else, are just a little bit stronger than you. But who knows?

HOW MANY TIMES?????
£20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000.
The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover.
There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them.
