Wigan will play to the same structure as last year that only seemed like we could negate (and Leeds in knockout games). Dummy runners that look like genuine ball carriers with Tomkins out the back. His pace, step, skill and strength creates too much space for his outside backs. I'd score a bucket load outside that bloke.
They are weaker than last year, no doubt, but the competition as a whole is really in terms of quality. Probably only Hull, Saints, Leeds & Widnes I can think have genuinely strengthened.
Our team is one year older, others will argue 1 more year experienced.
Catalans have a new coach, so nobody knows how that will pan out.
Hudds have a new coach and seem to be weaker. Bradford too.
Wakey don't seem to be up to much, one more year experienced together really. Beginners luck last year or will they push on?
Hull KR look worse off compared to last year.
London will go better, but no major recruitment to back that up.
Cas look weaker. Millward is my tip for OBE.
Salford aren't a patch on their squad from last year either. My tip for bottom.
All in all, SL will have a similar feel to it again in 2013 I reckon.
Potential surprise package IMO, London.
Hull will need to gel fast if they want to finish ahead of the "big 4" clubs. Or they could just hang out for 5th and be guaranteed an SL title
I'll go Saints to finish top but genuinely don't know between Wire and Wigan too!
