Toronto Wolfpack (M.P.G winners)- Have signed some real quality, Leutele far too good for the comp.

Widnes Vikings (M.P.G runners up)- Have kept some good players, Gelling and Inu massive for them.

Toulouse Olympique - Added some real quality oversees. will push above 2 all the way.

Halifax - Have a settled squad, hard to beat at the Shay.

Featherstone Rovers - New young hungry Aus coach, if PNG and Aus lads settle well could be an outside chance.

Bradford Bulls - A season to prove, a good mix of youth and experience in signings.

Leigh Centurions - Will struggle if injuries hit, Dual-Reg with St Helens will see them compete.

Batley Bulldogs - Another team hard to beat at home, typical mid-table team.

Dewsbury Rams - As above, Wakefield Dual-Reg players could be interesting.

Swinton Lions - Good coach in in Littler, tough nuggety squad.

Rochdale Hornets - Coach Carl Forster has an excellent reputation, will lift them a few places in League position

Sheffield Eagles - A season of struggle now they dont have St Helens fringe players to pick.

York City Knights - Not enough quality in signings, new stadium could spur them on up the league when ready.

Barrow Raiders - Someone has to finish bottom! Bullock & Parata big losses. PNG lads may be valuable.

For some reason,some folk lack a sense of humour. Next time I shall insert a wink emoji so you don't get all hairy @r$3d.

Looks like iv'e got a few bites with a little bit of innocent banter.



Anyway,should be a cracker of a game on Sunday.





[uThey're here[/u.

York remind me of ourselves. Good coach who gets his not amazing but decent squad playing well. May never make it to SL but may be a solid championship team for a while. Toronto probably go up this year then Leeds or Wigan next.

York seem to be the side that's most likely to surprise a few tipsters at the moment.

Well I'm hoping John Kear does exactly this with Bradford once our early season injury problems settle down a bit. He's a past master at making teams greater than the sum of their parts.
