I'm still to be convinced. A Pretty average at best back line. They are probably the most likely though to get in the four out of the rest, should one of my touted four mess up

I can't really see any realistic scenario where Wigan, Wire, Hull or Saints get dragged into a scrap. And given what Cas did last year with a ridiculous injury list, plus the recruitment they've done this year, you can probably add them to that list too. People are bound to quote Leeds and Hudds 2016 at me, but actually, alot of people did tip Hudds to struggle (maybe not to that extent) and nobody knew what Leeds would do with the players they had lost.

I posted my predictions a few weeks ago, but actually alot has changed since, and my mind has been changed about who might be vulnerable. I still think Salford will be ok. They haven't really strengthened, but their squad was already a decent one, and a bit of stability is probably what need after the rollercoaster that has been Koukash's tenure so far. Widnes are interesting. I have never rated Brown as highly as some, but his record speaks for itself, and if they can't find a good replacement then they look in danger.

I can't believe that people who don't get paid to do so, expend so much processing power on the conundrum of who will finish where; or get so exercised when someone they don't know and probably never will, suggests that their team will finish in a position lower than they themselves hope/expect.

I know it's the off-season, but come on...

It's the age of t'internet Bren, all reasonable conversation is gone and we now live in the black and white world, with nothing in between.
We're all lovers or haters now.

We (Leigh) are happy to be back in SL, I believe we are one step closer to 2 FT leagues of 10 when Toronto & Toulouse are established in the Championship.

At the minute I'm happy with our recruitment, I do believe we will find it difficult but I also believe we will find our feet and will get better as the season goes on, I know we have left cap space for mid season additions if we need to strengthen. I'm looking forward to our strategy next year with the added influence of Paul Cooke & Keiron Purtill alongside the established Samoa & NRL conditioning coach we have signed Scott Campbell

I'm very underwhelmed at some of the other clubs rosters at the minute and I think Leeds, Widnes, Catalan, Salford & Hudds all look considerably weaker than last year.

I love how you can be underwhelmed with the rosters of two clubs which are littered with international competition players including arguably some of Englands best players, and Catalans who have brought Greg Bird on their books, but are happy with the average signings which Leigh have made

The game in this country can barely sustain a 12 team top flight. What makes you think it could sustain two full time leagues of 10? It could be branded any way people want, it will still just be the Championship and subsequently receive little interest from all but a very minimal amount of people.

I do hope so.

Toronto a stablisted championship team? They will be in superleague in 2019 I reckon

Depends how long the contracts are of those currently signed, as they will not get them into SL.

I will predict that those with fewest wins will be in the M8's, and that we will have more strong Champ clubs fighting in it.

See Leigh have just signed Brett Stewart

Perez has already said Toronto will sign better players to play in the Championship. Targetting nrl players

That's nice. And what about the salary cap?

They'll be working on the same SC as Superleague.

I love my family and Lager but im glad I can strike those kind of feelings into you with merely an opinion.

Here's to Gregg Bird being captain, goal kicker, top try scorer, man of steel & bladdered in Barecelona inside a month.

Kind Regards,
Cupid.

thank you
