Super League XXII

The 22nd season of Super League starts tonight with St. Helens v Leeds Rhinos, form the newly named Totally Wicked Stadium ( Langtree Park to most normal folk ) Leeds ended up in relegation trouble last Year and Saints never really hit the heights. They are however the 2 most successful teams of the Super League era and one or both appearing at Old Trafford would not surprise.

I would expect Aussie imports Luke Douglas and Ryan Morgan to have an impact for Saints, whilst Matt Parcell looks an interesting recruit for the Rhinos.

Castleford look strong again this season and Wigan, Warrington and Hull FC, should all be there. Not going with any outright bets, but the above mentioned Douglas and Morgan are both 66's to win the Man of Steel Award and there Saints team mate Mark Percival is a surprising 80's. Leeds Joel Moon appeals at 66's and finally Danny Kirmond ( Wakefield ) has a squeak at 100's.
