Saints. More pace in the backs and power in the forwards. They don't have as much depth as Wigan but they have as much quality in the first 17 imo.

we will be.
us.
ourselves
after that probs wire or saints but on paper they don't really frighten me.
leeds could be a wounded animal as everyone has said they are a spent force but again on paper they don't scare me.
Wigan have to be on their metal more so this season, everyone always wants to beat Wigan and that be compounded by us being CHAMPIONS now so we need to be even more focused than last season.
just my thoughts but we could be our own biggest danger. I really hope and quite frankly can't see it unless something goes wrong and after todays announcements from the club i can't see that either.
so to answer the question
OUR SELVES

I have a sneaky feeling Bradford could do very well this season. But ultimately I think Saints and Wire will push us the hardest.

Leeds are a spent force, yes they will be top half and they'll turnover some of the big boys but they are slowly on the downward spiral similar to Bradford a few years back, they will slowly turn in to a mediocre side in the next 5 seasons.

Saints.

Wire will finish 2nd, but Saints will get through to the GF.

I like this guy!


I think Bulls have potential to show they are back this season, and we might just finish the regular season higher-placed than many would forecast right now, then who knows?. Realistically, though, we'll have to punch well - probably unattainably-so - above our weight to be able to mount any serious challenge at the moment on the current top group of teams. Our secret weapon might just be team spirit and motivation (and the coach), but I think few Bulls fans are under any illusions regarding how hard the climb back is likely to be.

SL needs a strong Bulls team. The same goes for Hull FC also.

The sheer entertainment factor of having Wigan, Wire, Saints, Leeds, Bradford & Hull all challenging with big crowds behind them is what RL should market.

Aw poo! You mean we're going to resemble the Warrington team of the last 5 years? icon_eek.gif

That is a dismal dismal prospect..... if the bus service round here was reliable, I'd be throwing myself under the next one.

In the meantime, I'll consol myself with the fact that the "Big Boys" of the last few years have been Leeds and Saints, icon_biggrin.gif and I'd expect all you one season wonders to to be back in your traditional places come October! icon_cool.gif
