On paper I don't think you can make to much of the teams. Wigan are least changed and look strong to me. Personally all the teams you name above hull are flimsy in areas Barring Leeds who don't so much have weakness just a question mark over how they'll deal with their losses. Hull have questions too obviously. Think the leagues really shortened up with how the lower teams have strengthened and Leeds have weakened. God I can't wait
Zeb Taia is a big loss to Catalans and the competition IMO.

Having seen both closely, MP is by far the better player, ST ain't exactly gone forward since leaving us! Ellis you don't know how many games your going to get out of him, yes this can be said for a fair few players.
Your next point is strange, GS has been one of the finest back rowers in the NRL for years at a level above FP and a different league to SM and MM couldn't have laced his boots on NRL form. At his best DT is quality, he hits anywhere near that form he can play at and it could be frightening, JH is no mug either, another player I like, wish we had him.
Snead ain't reached anywhere near the level he was at Cas, which to me suggests the coaching which there lies another issue you guys look to have.

Have a look on "The Kennel" Canterbury's fans forum and read what they have to say about Pritchard. Obviously you are an oficionado on the NRL and the Bulldogs fans must be talking rubbish.
Scott Taylor not "kicked on" really? both Wigan and Salford fans think he has.
Thanks for your appraisal of both players.
I'd be interested to read what you have to say about Rovers new signings.

Taylor not improved since Rovers? Since he left he has only won the double at Wigan and got POTY at Salford.
You can tell you don't watch the NRL, if you think Stewart has been better than Pritchard.
I think you are judging these players on a few years ago.
Fair point about Sneyd, he showed glimpses last year though and hopefully with another year and better pack and backs, he will improve and be more consistent.

Here he is with his usual pre season claptrap. The poster that hailed Joel Clinton as a "fantastic" signing, Willie Manu as "over-rated", and Sam Moa not worthy of a contract at Hull KR.
