| I await the prediction of BBC 5 Live Rugby League, and Sky Darts, commentator Stuart Pyke. He is a Saints fans but even so he had us to finish 8th last season!  |

I found this hilarious, to be honest ... is it my imagination or are Wigan the only one of the main contenders who the author seems to have any doubt about? "Can Michael Maguire keep this up?"
But on a more serious note, why is RL cursed with having so many parochial no-marks in its media?

This sort of rubbish is actually great news for the club.
I'm sure MM and SW won't need any extra motivational tools but the fact that we're being written off by large sections of the Wigan hating RL media will just give them a little bit extra to work with. What a great way to help ensure there is no complacency in the Wigan camp.

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |

but will they be any serious challengers for the title this time around or will the Warriors be the dark horses once more?
Dark horses? WTF!!

Leeds & Saints i think both will have very average seasons. The main contenders will be Wigan and Wire.

It's difficult to see past Saints struggling a bit with off-field issues. New coach, new (temporary) home. Bound to have a bit of a psychological impact, especially if the fans don't turn up to shout them along. Could be a real transition season for them.
As for Leeds ... much as I like Brian McDermott as a top bloke, let's not kid ourselves about his ability. His last club finished near the bottom of the table. Okay, there were other issues, but for Leeds to appoint someone with so little experience of coaching success reminds me of Wigan appointing Andy Goodway. We all thought it would be okay because Andy was a great guy and had been a crowd favourite as a player - but look how it turned out. |

Not counting injuries, I reckon you lot will finish first.
If you look at the players you have brought in after a firstplace finish in 2010 then I think you have to be favourites.

There's also the small matter of Gaz Hock returning.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

Not looking good for Wakefield.

What, by losing both their play off games? They finished 5th in real terms. Can't see Hull F.C finishing above Huddersfield and Leeds either, three of their four main players are 30+, which is unsuprisingly resulting in injury crises |

Yeah, that is serious revisionist history. I'm sure even the most ardent Wire fans would admit that Warrington were a big disappointment in the play-offs. They got nowhere near Old Trafford. |
