I think it's great that there is less predictability these days, who would've thought that Wakey would thrash the Quins away from home after last weeks performances. Who would've thought that the Wire without a win and below full strength would thrash the previously unbeaten Hull FC ?
Even St Helens win surprised me because i thought the Rhinos would win for sure.
If Cas can win tomorrow that means every club would be off the mark after 3 rounds, don't think thats happened before.

I hope Cas win today, firstly because I don't think away losses would harm Catalans too much in their first season, but also it would be great for all teams to be off the mark after 3 rounds. Will lead to a more competitive season all the way through.

No, sorry but i want catalans to win. They need to win away from home to keep the home fires burning. They need to turn France into a fortress from which two points are impossible to steal.

I still think France will still be a fortress for them, and I'd be surprised if any teams get over them at home, with or without Jones. It's their first season, they'll improve with each year but I expect Catalans to go pretty close to 14-14 this year, which could get them into the play-offs?

Yeah i did, again.

Saints are the superior side this season.

With a fully fit squad i expect us to win both trophies this year.

Not many teams in both Super League and NRL can have the likes of Vinnie Anderson playing reserve rugby (our under 21's).

The saints will stroll to a quadroople this year and will probably win all trophies going for the next 50 years.

Quite right sir!

'The Entertainers' will be in the mix for a very long time.

Unless they lose their depth at the end of the season like last year...

With Sculthorpe and Graham on report for striking against Leeds, it's not a good sign.

Yeah, there's good depth at St Helens for sure. But it wasn't enough to keep you guys motoring at the business end of last season, despite finishing on top.

A bit of luck at the right time goes a long way...

Can I request some money back please, I clearly played a lot of money last season to watch the entertainers against Hull FC and on both occasions they got there arses spanked. Less said about the third game the better though. ;-)

This will be the best SL ever and despite most media and Saints fans thinking they'll run away with it ( for the record I reckon you'll win it) I think it will be much closer then what people think. Probably about 8 or maybe 9 teams who can beat each other on any given day and venue.

Think this could be one of those seasons were your third one week and 7th the next and your finalk standing will be only known after Round 28.
