One thing that hasn't been mentioned in regards to HKR is that they now have Jamie Peacock on board. Granted it's not as a player or as the coach but I think that could potentially be one of the best bits of business any club have done for 2016 and I think his presence there will improve the club all round.

If Todd Carney can play for most of the season, and if big Dave Taylor and big Willie Mason can get into top gear, the Catalans will start winning more away games.

If Catalans can win half of their away games (7), and all but two of their home games (11), they will end up with 36 points and in the top four.

There’s a lot of “ifs” in there Jean .

Has Carney ever played for most of any season & the days of Mason & Taylor hitting top gear are but a distant memory.

On paper that looks a strong squad, but will the commitment be there from a number of senior players in their twilight years?

Whilst the leadership of Sinfield and Peacock will be missed, the continued improvement of Stevie Ward, Garbutt and Singleton should keep the pack strong. Leeds still have class players in key positions across the park and are the team to beat.

Leeds, Wigan, Saints for the top three in any order.

Four to six will be between Cas, Hudds, and Wire.

Seven onwards is a lottery. Any of the teams left could end up in any order. All the 'lower' teams have recruited quite well and can see a couple of teams surprising others this coming season. I think Catalan will still be unable to break their away record hoodoo keeping them locked around mid-table. Hull have invested in some quality but need to take the next step. Salford have a very strong backline this season coming and should go better than last season.

I think in the lower half of the table injuries will have a big say in finishing positions. Those sides that can avoid mass injuries will probably finish seven and eight.

Reckon I'd swap Wire and Hudds, but otherwise wouldn't argue with that. It's going to be really interesting seeing how Leeds go next year without Sinfield and Peacock.

Think it will be pretty tight, Leeds have recruited pretty smartly and have some real class, hardaker watkins hall briscoe moon cuthburtson Galloway. ..real quality, therefore,
