shannon wakeman was an unknown last season at hudds, had one of those youtube clips that made him look awesome, went ok for us.. expect more this season with a decent pre season

jake mamo, example of an nrl player who we are lucky to have for one more season as i expect him to go back to an nrl club , star quality but come here to experience another country whilst young and get himself back in the shop window.. (having his former coach helped too mind!)

Salford and Widnes will be in the bottom 4. At present I would have to expect we will be too until our performances manage to prove otherwise.

My main prediction is that we will start the season expecting the same format as the last few years but by the end, there will be no relegations but the league will increase by two teams - Toronto and one of Leigh, London or Toulouse.

I am tired of vastman's belittling of PNG players. They are all rough diamonds who will improve and shine under good coaching.

Jake Mamo is a star who will compete with David Mead for Man of Steel in 2018.

I'm just tired of you and your claptrap to be honest.

That's the one and I agree a fantastic player but he hardly represents an avalanche of talent does he.

I think you lot had a half decent prop a few years back, Paul Aiton has done ok but he was an established NRL player before coming to SL. I'm struggling now.

Always thought Marcus Bai was a decent enough player as well.
