This season I think you can expect plenty of fire and plenty of venom from Wigan. We all know the qualities of Brian Noble as a coach; even though he has retired as the Great Britain boss.
That means he will be able to put all his energy into getting them back up there where they belong.
It is just a matter of whether they will all blend.
They have bought Tent Barrett who is world class. He has played for Australia and been a great player for NSW.
He has the power to go through people and still got some pace. He is no spring chicken and is getting on a bit, but he reads the game exceptionally well.
He is good at the kicking game – short and long. He has the ability to be at the right place at the right time.
The problem that Wigan had for most of last season is that they were lacking a leader, someone to guide them around the pitch. This guy will. He is nothing short than brilliant.
But it won't be easy for him, because he will be up against Lee Briers. I have said this for many years that Briers has been overlooked for international honours for far too long. To me this guy has all the attributes to become a top class international player.
He reads the game just like Barrett, and this will probably be his last chance to get into the international set-up. He knows he wants to get up there and has only one way of doing it. We will have a brand new Great Britain coach and he will have to show him that he has the goods. I think he has them and a lot of other people think he has got it as well.
It is going to be difficult for Warrington this season. They have bought exceptionally well non more so than the big fellow Adrian Morley.
This guy is dynamite. He has played six years down in Australia and with his rugged approach to the game, well he does not take any prisoners. Due to his uncompromising play, he does spend quiet a lot of time off the paddock, but if he can keep his head one and not do anything stupid, well he could lead Warrington to great success.
His impact with Stuart Fielden is going to be massive!
Warrington's coach Paul is also very knowledgeable and knows that this year they have to stop all the talking of the pitch and get stuck in on the paddock
Don't miss it!
Mine's a jack and coke...
