| Wigan - Add Hoffman, Lima, Finch, Hock and a fully fit Amos Roberts to the team that won the GF and its all looking good.
Wire - Hodgson massive improvement on Mathers, however they must keep their ageing stars (Briers, Morley etc) fit
Saints - Big changes this year, new ground, new coach, new captain. Lucky for them they got Roby to soften the blow of KC leaving, with the quality additions they should go alright.
Leeds - Having a good squad should still seem them in the Top 4. Not impressed by the new coach though.
Hudds - Very strong, well coached team. Good pack and young fast backs should see them challenge for the top 4
Hull - Similar to Wire, if they can keep there older players fit for the majority of the season, they will be a tough team to beat.
KR - Mason is a good signing if he comes here with the right attitude, gives them more size in the forwards
Salford - Added experianced super league players to there squad and should go alright

agree with most of that but I thought Mathers had a very good season generally with Hodgson being relatively dissappointing for the Giants - and what of the Bulls ?

Don't you struggle. Don't you fight. Don't you worry, cause it's your turn tonight!

Spot on. Anyone who watched Wigan last year will tell you of the games we lost we either tuck our foot of the gas or were out muscled in the pack. Like you say with Lima and the man mountain that is Ryan Hoffman, being out muscled won't be a concern.

| 1. Leeds - Still strong all over the park and have good youth coming through.
2. Wigan - Will be strong again and could easily win things as long as the new imports settle in well.
3. Warrington - Good, solid and strong squad.
4. Saints - Fantastic pack but will need both half backs to stay fit, playing at Widnes may cause a small disruption.
5. Hull KR - A good settled squad, if Dobson and Green gel, then who knows! Looking forward to seeing a mature Willie lol
6. Huddersfield - Strong pack will lead the way for them.
7. Bradford - It feels like for the first time in a while, the club have a fresh lease of life.
8. Hull - Once again a real problem in the halves which seems to have been going on for years now. Berrigan can be key if he is given a full time centre spot but not sure Agar will see it like that. O'Meley has to stay fit as he lead the pack superbly last season.
9. Salford - Same as Bradford.
10 . Catalan - If they can produce the goods on there own turf then they may climb higher
11. Castleford - The loss of Shenton and Westerman will hurt, I also think some still question Matterson.
12. Wakefield - Cant see Kear being able to get something out of this season with the current squad.
13. Quins - Club dont seem to be going anywhere apart from backwards.
14. Celtic - It going to be a long hard season!

If it wasn't for the Crusaders being docked points before the season has already started I would have said Quins.

| Personally I don't think Leeds will do much next year. Too many changes happening. Transitional year I think.
Hull FC will be hit and miss.
Bradford will be vastly improved (can't be too hard!).
Can't see past Wigan.

| I think Wigan will dominate the league yet again (and for years to come imo). Wire won't be too far behind, Leeds n Saints will finish in the top four but won't be as dominant as in recent years. Hudds, Hull, Rovers and Bradford will make up the 8 but I couldnt predict the order, and as for the bottm half, well I dont really care. I always like to see Cas doing well, but the loss of Shenton and Westerman is a massive blow to them and they will need to keep Rangi Chase fit to stand any chance of making the play-offs.

Yet another HKA fan who makes a sweeping statement regarding the London SL franchise?
If you are referring to attendances, then well done...you have stated the obvious.
If you are on about performance on the field.....Quins are towing the line with regard to development of local talent and overseas players....whilst HKA have no kids in the England Academy squad, had no players in the Senior Squad for the 4 nations, are relying on 10 overseas players for 2011 and are surviving only on the generosity of their backer.
Like it or not, the RFL have made it clear that the next round of licences will be awarded on a number of criteria.....
Quins fail miserably on attendances, have no outstanding loans or debts and tick pretty much every other box.
HKA play in a shi7hole, have fans that have been involved in trouble, rely on overseas talent and have debts.....if you wanted to look at a club going backwards, I would suggest your own player development is stuck in reverse

| Quote: sanjunien "yes,can see your points and have to agree with some of them regarding key players but I believe we will still be in the top three - I can't see playing at Widnes as a disadvantage,you can't afford to be sentimental at this level of RL.I can't see anyone touching Wigan with the Wires a distant second - I believe the 'transitional' clubs will be Leeds, Bradford & the Dragons - I just worry about Brian Mac plus JL at Leeds,both great players but can they gel as a coaching force with an ageing squad for example ?'"
Leeds an aging squad? Really?
The starting team in feb next year will prob be:
Jones-Bishop
Smith
Delaney
Senior
Hall
Webb
Burrow
Bailey
Buderus
Cross
Ablett
Jones-Buchanan
Sinfield
Hauraki
Leuluai
Lauitiiiti
Burgess/McShane
Not that old really. The back line is fairly young and Senior would still probably walk into the England team if he hadn't retired.
Another team that a lot have underestimated is Bradford. I'd be excited if I was a Bulls fan and can see them competing for 4th.
As it is though I reckon:
Wigan
Warrington
Leeds
Saints
Bradford
Hull KR
Hull FC
Hudds
------------
Castleford
Salford
Wakefield
Catalan
Harlequins
Crusaders
