Quote ="efcrhino"1. Leeds - Can't really see anyone beating them in the regular season, we've strengthened further whereas Saints are similar to last year.
2. Warrington - I think they have the greatest chance of breaking up the Leeds Saints dominance. Myler will be key.
3. St Helens - Long Gilmour and Cayless replaced with Soliola Moore and Fozzard, Eastmond will have to have a big year if they're going to challenge.
4. Wigan - Will be there abouts but won't win anything I don't think.
5. Catalans - Johnson and Sa are good signings, but I think they need Bird to really have a chance of silverware. He showed in the play offs that he was a quality player.
6. Bradford - Despite losing Burgess, I think if the Orford rumours are true they will have a good side next year and improve on a poor 2009.
7. Hull FC - They've brought in some quality and I think this year they'll make in the eight.
8. Huddersfield - It will be difficult to repeat the brilliance of last year but they'll scrape the eight.
9. Hull KR - Again a great season last year and will be a difficult to beat but apart from Dobson I don't see where the quality is going to come from.
10. Castleford - Not really much difference in the side but other teams have improved whereas they haven't
11. Wakefield - It's a very different team this year and they've replaced some dead wood with quality but I can't see them making the eight.
12. Harlequins - Very average team by the looks of things.
13. Celtic - Hoping for a better season for them this year but can't see them doing better than 13th.
14. Salford - They've lost most of their good players and replaced them with not much really.
WCC - Melbourne by 10.
Challenge Cup - Leeds Bradford final.. Leeds by 14
GF - Leeds Warrington - Leeds by 8'"
If we managed to finish fifth with 'deadwood' in our squad, byreplacing them with 'quality' we should be capable of a similar or better finish.
