From what I've seen of the signings of each team so far this season could be extremely close and have a lot of unpredictable results.

I'll start with my team Wigan...

I to am happy with this squad, I'd love to know where this lack of quality that some are banging on about is. I have helpfully bolded those who would make most SL teams whilst the rest are pretty much all experienced players and grafters at this level - the usual recipe for a top 8 contender.

Not sure how we will actually go. But my 17 is:

Shaul

Lineham
Sa
Michaels
Talanoa

Pryce
Sneyd

Paea
Houghton
Green
Ellis
Minichiello
Westerman

Feka
Watts
Thompson
Rankin

Leeds:

Hardaker
Briscoe
Watkins
Moon
Hall
Sinfield
McGuire
Peacock
Burrow
Leuluai
Jones-Buchanan
Delaney
Ablett

Aiton
Cuthbertson
Singleton
Sutcliffe

Given that Wakey are on paper the weakest team in the league their starting 17 is pretty good. You would think their only problems will come late in the season when fatigue and injuries take their toll. They have proven plenty of people wrong in the past.

The league is looking pretty strong in 2015.

I would say the opposite, the league looks weak top to bottom. If Wakefield for instance were to be relegated I'm not sure many of that 17 would be picked up by other SL clubs. And I think that goes for a few clubs of a similar stature

You would feel the key for Leeds is their props. Peacock and Leulua are both likely to be in their last seasons. Cuthbertson is a very good player but can be inconsistent and Singleton could develop into an international but is not quite there yet. After these four there is not much else, so it is either diamonds or rocks!

2015 could be Leeds be chance for trophies for a while, as they prepare to enter a transitional period, so there could be a big effort from them at the back end of the season.

They should be a good bet for the cup.

I would say Widnes have the weakest squad on paper. We've got plenty of depth in the forwards, plus we have a couple of players who could cover the outside backs.

Leeds have been in a transitional period for a couple of years already, the backline has already changed, Sutcliffe is being brought into the halves and will be the first choice half if not this year definitely next. The likes of ward and Singleton have already come in to the pack with Mulhern, Baldwinson, minchella, not far behind, and a robbie Ward coming in at Hooker.

I put in bold the Wakey players who'd walk into most SL team, I did it for the hard of thinking but hey you manage to baffle science. Can't make up whether you hate Wakefield or are just a wind up merchant or a snob, either way it's tedious. Never mind we will carry on beating top 4teams like we do every season

Don't bit Smokey is fishing, leave me to deal with him

Huddersfield

Murphy/Grix
Mcgillivary
Cudjoe
Wardle
Murphy/Broughton
Brough
Ellis
Crabtree
Lunt
Huby
Ferres
Taai
Bailey

Kopczak
Mullally
Hughes
Robinson

Leaving
Connor, Wood, Johnson, Lawrence, Fairbank Leeming, Roberts as back up.

I was surprised with how good Wakefield's team looked on paper tbh, their pack looks pretty good and better than Widnes' but Widnes have the edge in the backs.

In saying that I'm not sure which player if any the likes of Wigan, Warrington, St.Helens or Leeds would want out of the ones you have highlighted. Personally speaking at Wigan I wouldn't want any barring Kirmond as a squad player. Smith maybe at one team at a push. The rest of the teams in the league possibly.

Yeah but we knew your views on players aren't worth the pixels they are written with are they vastpants. How's Dale Ferguson's England international career going?

The idea that Jarrad Sammut (bombed out of Bradford) Tim Smith (stunk up Wigan, bombed out of Salford), Paul McShane (the worlds slowest hooker makes Paul Anderson look slim, bombed out Leeds when they had 0 other hookers) Nick Scruton (might be a mid-level prop if he could ever put a run of more than two games without injury together) and Ali Lauitiiti (an absolute legend of the game, but the only reason he would walk in to any team is because he hasn't been able to run for 2 years) would walk in to most SL squads is laughable, even for you.

Its nice to see your persecution complex back though

Cas

Dorn
Clare
Webster
Shenton
Carney
Roberts
Gale
Lynch
Moore
Jewitt
Holmes
Moors
Millington

Milner
Cook
Mariano
Boyle

That cas pack without Huby and Clark looks much weaker.

I would say on paper they are struggling but i do rate Powell highly as a coach so that counts for a lot.

Clark will be the big miss,fully expect jewitt to step up this season

Cas

1. Dorn (Tansey)
2. Clare (Dixon)
3. Shenton (Channing)
4. Webster (Gibson)
5. Carney (Solomona)
6. Roberts
7. Gale (Finn)
8. Lynch (Crossley)
9. Moore
10. Jewitt
11. Holmes (Mariano)
12. Moors (McMeeken)
13. Millington (Massey)

14. Milner
15. Boyle
16. Wheeldon
17. Cook


Then we have Will Maher, Jordan Howden, Ash Robson, Tom Holmes, Brandon Moore and Brandon Westerman all in first team squad too.

Total 33 players in squad and great versatility, experience and depth again.

In terms of versatility:

FB: Dorn, Tansey, Solomona, Clare, Robson,
W: Dixon, Clare, Carney, Solomona, Tansey, Gibson.
C: Webster, Shenton, Carney Channing, Gibson, Dixon, Mariano.
SO: Roberts, Tansey, Gale, Dorn, Robson, Westerman, Howden.
SH: Gale, Finn, Tom Holmes.
P: Lynch, Boyle, Jewitt, Crossley, Massey, Millington, Wheeldon, Cook, Moors, Maher
H: Scott Moore, Milner, Finn, Tom Holmes, Brandon Moore.
SR: Mariano, Holmes, Moors, Cook, Millington, McMeeken, Webster.
LF: Millington, Cook, Jewitt, Massey, Westerman, Howden.

A lot stronger team than how we started last year.

Don't know whether you've forgotten him or not put him in but I'd personally have Scott Anderson at Prop in my 17 ahead of Daniel Smith.

That Salford 17 could do some damage if they play as a team and get a bit of luck with injurys
