| To be fair to Brown, Widnes won 50% of the games he played in, and lost 100% of the games he missed.
I don't think any team is going to drop this season as SL has probably got the 12 strongest teams it's had in a long time. I can see tolouse doing well though and perhaps making the top 4 and even the MPG

| Neither.
Hope Toulouse fall flat on their face too.
We've seen it already with Catalans, they bring absolutely nothing to Super League, and their away support is laughable.
The only winners are Catalans and the French Tourist Board.
Do we really want the same again with Toulouse or Toronto???

| Not gonna say which one of them will go down but I would think that our neighbours across the river will give getting back up a bloody good game, at the expense of one of the two teams you have mentioned. In terms of Toulouse, I will agree with others and say that they will find it a lot harder in the championship, might get the middle-8s but I wouldn't be surprised if they finish 5th or 6th to be honest. London took huge strides last year and I want them to keep moving forward, might be an outside chance of getting the million pound game.

| Salford should be ok, but not sure about their top 8 credentials. Widnes look vulnerable to be fair, which is a shame because they play a decent brand of rugby. Wakefield for the drop IMO.

I don't even think Wigan will make it to the MPG, they'll bin out and finish 7th in the Middle 8's. They couldn't even nil a broken Wakefield who'd given up for the season

| Can very much see My team Huddersfield, Widnes, Salford and either Catalan or Wakefield being in the bottom 4 with only Hull KR the possible candidate for a return to SL.

There you go again Vasty, dining out on the 62-0 as soon as a Wigan fan dare say anything remotely negative towards Wakefield. How dare they have an opinion ey.
Anyway, I hope none of the SL teams get relegated, as it'll mostly mean Hull KR promoted, which is too soon.
Who would be the most likely? Leigh will be a candidate as they're a little bit of an unknown quantity with regards to how they'll go playing SL teams for 30 weeks (although I accept they were brilliant in the Super8's last year). Salford don't seem to have done much in the off-season. Widnes will struggle without Brown, but do have the advantage of their home pitch surface (are they linked with any halfbacks?). I think they'll be the bottom three.
Wakey, Hudds, Leeds & Catalans jostling for 9th-6th in no particular order.
Wigan & Warrington top2, Saints, Hull & Cas 3rd-5th

You underestimate the difference that Gregory Bird will make -- based upon his influence in 2009 -- to the team's performance. That is assuming that he does not suffer a season ending or disrupting injury. Also Krisnan Inu, who suffered a season ending injury early last season, is one of the most potent centres in Super League. If he plays all season, alongside Jodie Broughton, then Catalans will score a lot of tries down its right side.

I don't give a stuff what you think or what you predict but I will keep stating that scoreline to any jumped up Wigan fan who thinks they are untouchable but I don't suppose you'll ever get that.
62 -0 there I said it again and it feels good.

I'm sure those Wigan fans really care too. They're raising a glass to winning the Grand Final, you're raising a glass to a mid-season league win. Says it all really. You're one-eyedness is duly noted, luckily you're an exception compared to the majority of Wakey fans.

You said that about Todd Carney. And Leon Pryce before him. And Scott Dureau.

By all accounts they should've gone down years ago if it they didn't cheat.
Widnes too good to go down, question mark over Salford.
