Welcome to the thread all you dullarsed Rugby Union types who just can't seem to keep your boring ugly faces out such discussions. Leeds- Hull KR kick off the season starting this Saturday

So then - who's going to win it?

Leeds - new coach, reigning champions, same squad pretty much as last year - look like the team to beat if the coach settles quickly.

St Helens - the flair team, beaten in the Grand Final last year when expected to win. With age and injuries catching up with Cunningham, Long and especially Sculthorpe the question is do their undoubtedly talented youngster have the ability to play the whole season in their place? If yes, a top 2 place looks likely.

Warrington - perennial big spenders and underachievers. Changed captain in pre-season, imported one of the best centres from AFL but do they have the right coach to guide them?

Wigan - looking good in pre-season and have more depth in the squad than last year. Are they big enough up front? How many points will they lose this year over financial irregularities?

Bradford - seem to be in transition and a pressure year for the coach after throwing a big lead against Wigan in last season's play offs.

Hull - strong squad, good coach, hard to beat at home. Will go a long way.

Thoughts?
