W00t, It starts today.
I just hope that the Wigan squad can gel, especially with new world class signings like Phil Bailey, Trent Barrett and of course Shane Millard. Thomas Leuluai has been a good new signing also, mixing well and leading the back line in our pre-season friendlies. I reckon Fielden and Ashton will have to have a good season this year to keep the flow of positional talent, but after seeing the 20-15 win against Salford, we should be in for a few good results this year.
I'm going to predict the league table to finish as followed;
1. Hull FC
2. St Helens
3. Wigan Warriors
4. Leeds Rhinos
5. Bradford Bulls
6. Salford City Reds
7. Warrington Wolves
8. Huddersfield Giants
9. Harlequins RL
10. Wakefield Trinity Wildcats
11. Les Catalans Dragons
12. Hull KR
I don't think Hull KR have the playing ability to pull off a string of successful results. They'll win the odd couple of games, whilst Catalans will rely on home games to produce their victories. I also think Warrington have the capability to win the league, because although Lee Briers' is a terrible player, he has the brain to read a game so well... it's just a shame the Wolves can't be the same Wolves we usually see the week before.
The biggest team to watch out for is Hull FC, imo, I think that they have the playing quality this season with Richard and Graeme Horne, and also Gareth Raynor will be one to watch out for down the wing.
