| Quote: JEAN CAPDOUZE "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.'"
Do you think Bird will be better than he was 7/8 years ago.
Although he was a great player and got a gig in Australia on the back of his "rehab" in France, he hasn't come back to SL because he has improved.
Sadly, like many Aussie players, he's come back for a pension boost.
He will still be an excellent player but, not the saviour that you are hoping for.
Remember Todd Carney and how much hope you had for him and your team, Bird will be the same.
As for Widnes or Salford for the drop, maybe.
A lot depends on Browns replacement and how he fits in and any effect from not having his leadership at the club.
Salford, who knows. Like most of the bottom half clubs, it will depend on their start to the season.
Finally, KR will be busting a gut to bounce straight back and if any of the SL sides are weak coming into the split, they will definitely gain promotion.
We're in for another cracking season.
Will Hudds and Leeds improve on last season or, will the wheels come off for a different club ? |

Apology accepted but surely it should have been for Vastman not myself? |

John Flatcap doesn't know his Glenn Stewart from his Brett Stewart & only surprised he didn't say Alf Stewart ....
Still, at least Alf would be another aged Aussie Home & Away. |

Leeds might not improve, but the giants squad is far better this season than the start of last
More importantly the litany of problems that hit the club last season have been dealt with and not repeated so far at least
If anything Leeds and the Giants should remind fans of all clubs that the wheels can fall off for any club at any time

Is the Huddersfield squad really that much better this season than last |

Paul Clough, Lee Gaskell and Dale Ferguson are great players. |

Huddersfield's new signing Jake Mamo is a dynamic attacking player. He will set the competition alight, more so than the unnecessarily lamented Dennison Solomona once did. |

Jean you are arguably a more slippery specimen than Nigel Farage.

Why would you insult me so, by comparing me negatively with Donald Trump's favourite Englishman? |

If you think this Hudds team is a big improvement on last year I fear you're about to be disappointed.
They may do ok but far better, not a chance - to me on paper at least you've gone backwards. |
