From saints formum written by a KR fan can it be True !!!!

I was at the KC stadium last week watching my team get a bit of a battering by Hull's pack, believe me, they are a totally different proposition to last years and will be one of the most aggressive and dominant in SL this year, providing they don't give away too many penalties. Fitzgibbon looked athletic and impressive for his age, (in the Menzies mould) and O'Meley and Luaki were very aggressive and difficult to contain. I don't think they will run out of steam. Longy dictating play made a big difference to them as well, they will need to keep him injury free. The outside backs are a mixed bag, some talented young kids (Briscoe, Turner, Hall, Tansey with some experience, Yeaman, Calderweood, Whiting). Although it pains me to say it, I think they might be dark horses this year. Think you will beat them though getting them first up, I think they are only having 1 hit out for the first team before the season starts so will be under done for 1st game. I still expect you to be top 4 and hopefully we will be able to be as competitive as last year. Most KR fans will be happy with top 6. Good luck against Hull!!

As this old thread shows:
Very few rated Wigan before the season kicked off

Same team as last year, but a top coach is the big difference.

Good job I'm not a betting man.
