| Was just listening to a RL based podcast, not too impressed but 10/10 for trying, anyway the question raised was 'As the new season approaches which set of supporters should be most excited?'.
The 'very knowledgable' chat panel came up with the following top three...
1. Salford
2. Warrington
3. Hull KR
And least excited...
St Helens fans.
Being a Saints fan this expectadly repulsed me (i swear it has nothing to do with my opinon on the podcast ) New coach, new captain/s, Perry, Shenton, LMS, fit(ish) Eastmond/Pryce/Soliola - I'm damn excited.
Granted we're all excited. But is it just me who thinks the top three, bar Wire, is a poor call?

They must have missed Salford's pre season games then, becasue they've removed any excitement that was present amongst Reds fans.

| Think Wigan should be there with the world club challenge, top signings and the task of defending the title. As a Giants fan I'm really excited due to the team having a great pre season and we are getting better and closer to winning some silverware

| I'm excited.......oh rugby.... yes that too
To be fair though i'm not impressed with Wire being the first game at MM, if we lose that just ruins the whole thing and if we win all the wire fans will be blind drunk.
I'm excited we finally have a class kicker in Hodgson.

| I think this is our strongest squad we've had in SL so with or without Mason we have plenty to be excited about. Of course it will come down to form and injuries which no one can predict but I expect us to be challenging this year.

I bet about 60-80% of fans in the stadium will be too!

I think that's the good thing about this year, everyone believes they have what it takes (with a couple of good, lucky results) to get to the CC semi/final and to the back end of the playoffs. Think it's wide open myself this year and only a couple of teams have been left behind (Wakie, Crusaders, Quins). Hopefully when we play you on the last day of the season we'll (Cas) already be in the playoffs unlike last year with that last kick. God that hurt.

Very true. I'd also say that, although no-one likes being without RL to watch, having a decent break between seasons sharpens the appetite. I'm always amazed at Premier League wendyball in this regard: a club seems to become champions on 31st May and then they kick-off again before the end of July.

| Theres a huge air of excitement at Bradford. Like a snowball rolling down a hill we've had a steady stream of positive events starting off with Macnamara sodding off, the £60 season ticket offer which has attracted over 10k season ticket holders, then we get Mick Potter and recruit usefully if unspectacularly. And finally we've had some encouraging results in the pre-season.
Its hard to say how well we'll do but we are definately very excited.

| I think Bradford will be dangerous this year and challenging for silverwear next year.

| Well you've got Wigan, Wire, Huddersfield, Saints, Leeds, Hull, Rovers, Bradford and probably Salford battling it out in the play off positions. There's very little between these clubs and Catalans, Quins and Cru can potentially mix it up in there as well for 8th spot. Wakey to defy all expectations again and string a few results together. And, Cas will massively disappoint their fans again.
Without wanting to sound like Nigel Wood, it'll be the closest and best comp yet. How can anyone not be massively excited??

| I think Hull fans in general are very unexcited about the new season, there are serious concerns about our lack of Half Back cover, the ability of Agar as a coach and the weakness of our backs. Our first 3 games of the season are also very tough (Rovers at MM, Leeds at home, Hudds away)
a win or two out of those first 3 would undoubtedly calm the fears though, as would signing another half-back before the start of the season.

Your lot was saying this Agar last season, but you spent the majority of the season in the top 4. The lowest you dipped all season was sixth.

that sounds all well and good on paper. But the reality was, in the games that matter Hull came up short each time.
we exited the CC in the first round for the 2nd year in the row. Lost games against Leeds and Wire that we needed to win to finish top4, and then played abysmally against Rovers in the playoffs.
grinding out boring wins against the struggling sides is one thing, actually performing when it matters and beating the top teams is another.

| As a Saints fan I'm very excited about the season.
I'm not sure what people are basing our prospective monumental downfall on, but it certainly can't be the squad.
