Team to Beat: Wigan, good squad made even better with the new signings

Player to watch: without sounding bias ide have to say Willie Isa, fairly unknown player (bit like rangi) so dont really know what to expect. Similarly i feel Richie Myler will have a good season this year with the quality around as to with Finch at Wigan

Suprise Team: Probably between us, Salford and Catalans, all three teams have recruited well and brought in some good players

Rough Season: Between Harlequins, Wakey and 'saders really, be intersting to see how cru deal with the -4 point start. As for the other two i feel it will be a long season for them.

To do badly? Would it be a surprise any more for them to do well?

To do well. I still don't think I've reached their potential yet and I'm quite tempted to tip them for a CC final victory or GF appearance.

Team to beat - Without a doubt, Wigan Warriors. I'm quite sure they are going to win the league and cup this year, They appear to have recruited very well and play the right kind of rugby. They will kick on from last year and scoop the lot IMO

Player to watch - On a personal note, Joe Arundel is in for a massive year, He will be giving the England selectors a nudge come the end of the season, With a view to building on it next year. And the same will be said for Jonathan Walker. For the rest of Super League, I think Luke Pattern as has already been said is an amazing signing for Salford.

Suprise team - I think Cas, Will shock a few, Most predict us for a 10-12th finish, But i am rather sure we will be placed 6th-8th, Also Salford are the team everyone may think can do well. If their experienced players keep fit maybe, But i arent so sure they can.

Rough season - For certain reasons, One stated above, Salford. But the more rough seasons will be had by Wakefield, Who are nailed on IMO to finish 14th, Crusaders will also struggle i think.
