£20 bet to a charity of the winners choice we finish in the top 8?
Im not saying we definitely will be in the middle 8's but i think its more likely that us winning the league put it that way.

Id do the bet at top 4 if youre interested
I’ll meet you in the middle and I’ll take too 6 finish for charity why not?

whilst i'm an eternal optimist where Wigan are concerned I'm not too sure where we'll finish but I think we're more than capable of being in the top 4.

lest we forget the horrible injuries players suffered last year or that the likes of Sam T and others had been out for the best part of a year.

I also think several teams will be weaker this year.

Leeds - No Mcguire or Burrow. Myler is poor and if he plays along side moon i fail to see who is the organiser.

Cas - No Hardaker, Roberts looks like he will go to FB and they've signed Jamie Ellis!! Also i fail to see how any team can be as good again as they were last year. It very seldom happens.

Hull - No Ellis or Fonua. Ellis was like Lockers is for us and Fonua although he never actually played it correctly made good yards and got quick PTBs.

Wakefield - i think overachieved last year and I wonder how much influence John Kear had on things.

Warrington - No idea how they'll go but with a new coach and team they'll produce a miracle if they win anything.

Saints - they are the only team i think may be better this year. they've not signed anyone apart from a kid from Bradford but Barba will be fully up to speed.

That’s how I assess it too.

Great post.

I see it like that too.

Lots of question marks over most teams next season.

+1

Although I do think Wire have recruited well and have a fit Currie back. The guy they got from Penrith is suited to Super League I reckon.

Wire will be a coin flip, they could be brilliant or it could take them 6 months to gel before they kick in.
