"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..... |

Warrington very well backed and pushing hard to break the Saints/Wigan domination. Their time may have come.

No reserves,but resilience,persistence and determination are omnipotent.: |

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.

No he isn't 
Here's mine
Saints
Wigan
Wire
Huddersfield
Hull FC
Leeds
Catalan
Trinity
Castleford
Salford
KR
Leigh
Wigan and Saints loo better than the rest and Leigh seem to be up against it from the off.
Outside of the top 5 here, it really could be in any order.
Catalan, with probable travel restrictions could really struggle and it will be interesting to see whether clubs are permitted to travel down there, especially in the first part of the season.
For Leigh to really compete, they will need to make a couple more signings and build the siege mentality and then hope for some luck with key players staying fit.
Trinity too could do without their wretched luck of the last couple of seasons with injuries. |

think your being a bit unkind to cas there and catalan I'd have them a bit higher up than that
by the way we're moving out of the village to the darkside might be able to convert a few ![]()
I dont think it's possible to be too unkind on Cas
As for Catalan, it really does depend on how they get on with travelling and the pandemic.
No question they have some good players, although it looks like they may not have Folou any longer ?
If they can get their act together, then, you're right, they could be 5/6th
As for going to the dark side, I hope you've had your jabs !
