Given the other applicants, the fact that they were "considered" is worrying enough.

Anyway, moving back on topic, how the season pans out will depend on the covid situation, both in terms of how it affects the players but, more importantly, just when spectators are allowed back in reasonable number.
There is certainly huge advantage for the 4/5 clubs that are hosting "covid safe" games as we start the season and how long this situation remains will certainly affect results.
However, home advantage, with a "full house" would help significantly more.

For now, it will be great just to have some decent sport to watch.

Seeing how Leigh cope with relatively short time to prepare and whether they strengthen further plus, whether Huddersfield, with their new coach and players will make any challenge for a top 4 spot.
Plus GI at Warrington, not to mention the resurgence of Trinity

Plenty to look forward to.

I think this will be the only accurate prediction on this thread.

Same old story as far as grand final is concerned it'll be either saints Wigan or Leeds...challenge cup could go to an outsider like Huddersfield hull cats..

"Huddersfield Hull Cats".
I know that both Huddersfield and Hull "like" a merger especially if a SL spot is up for grabs but, that's never going to work.
Playing at Wakefield, which is central for all 3 clubs seems to make sense

Think Huddersfield will do well this year. Coach and player recruitment looks pretty exciting for them.

They lead the league in 2013 scoring more points than anyone else, so maybe they will impress...

However when it came to the real business end Warrington saw them off in the cup and play offs.

I'll be closely following Leigh's challenge for 11th. spot.....

leeds! you got nowhere near saints last season and avoided playing wigan twice!

you'll be in the mid table scrap with hudds, fc, cas, catalan and wire without being at home every other weekend

yes its absolutely their year without doubt nailed on

There are fewer Warrington born,and Warrington Academy trained players in the Warrington squad than there are French born,and trained,players in Catalans squad.

With the uncertainty that their coach will last the season,having stated his intention to return to Australia at the end of the campaign,I think it unlikely to be Warrington emerging this year to win silverware.

Shouldn’t that comparison be about English players at Warrington.

Comparing a country with a town is a bit desperate.

Of course, but it doesn't fit his blatant agenda.

I think his point is that Catalans are often criticised for signing players from the NRL and not giving local players a chance.

he's desperately clinging to anything to argue about
