Quote: MikeyWire "Agreed..!
Another thing thats annoying me is the way everyone is banging on about these 3 Melbourne Storm players Wigan have signed..
Ok they are proven quality NRL players..But so were Monaghan and King....King especially suffered a culture shock in his first season.....
Wire fans of all people should know that some overseas players require a bedding in period others take to England like a duck to water..Hicks and Grose are just 2 off the top of my head...
To say that Lima,Hoffman and Finch ar going to walk in and start ripping up Super League is a touch naive IMO....'"
I bet they will though, worryingly. I think we should be aiming, as ever, for top spot in 2011 however I do believe it'll be 2nd or 3rd.
Wigan were exemplary with their consistency this season, awesome in the final and the strength their new signings bring to the squad will certainly put them in a favourable position to retain the SL. Top spot for mine, barring an exceptionally lengthy injury list.
Saints are going to be tricky to predict next year. How much will playing at Widnes play it's part? Cunningham will be a big loss regardless, despite how high I rate Roby. And as per, their squad is a very good blend of youth and experience which will take them a long way. Aided by their immovable winning mentality, I think they'll fight it out for second place with ourselves if Im honest.
Leeds or Hudds for 4th.
