I think Tigers are too weak at 10 to really compete this year. Goode is a solid player and the switch back to Leicester has done him the world of good but he isn't the same in the same league as van der Westhuyzen, and I dont just mean literally 'cos he's gone to Japan!) i think sale will be the team to watch. with world class forwards to win the ball (woodman, jason white, chris jones, chabal) feeding the best back line in the prem (hanley, queto, robinson) i think the sharks will once again be challenging for honours

The Tigers to win the Premiership?! Yes they have quality, but a lot of it is past it's best and although they have quality young players such as Moody and Skinner they can't hope to finish higher than third. Another slog between Wasps and Bath looks most likely, with the Tigers, Northampton and Saracens fighting for the third birth, and the almost innevitable relegation of Worcester.

This season is going to be the closest so far. Newcastle Falcons to be the surprise package.

I see Sky have once again gone for the old boys of the Premiership and underestimated the Tykes. How you can say that Leeds have been lacking no-nonsense players in the last few seasons when we have a squad full of them I don't understand. Start cooking your humble pie now.

I think Sale will go far this season, they have some top class backs and have strengthened up front. I'm a big fan of the winger Cueto in particular, not sure why he's been ignored by England and 'Sir' Clive so much.

Can't see why Newcastle are being tipped to finish so high, they may have made a great signing with Burke but they struggled last season in the forwards and they seem to have lost more in the pack than gained this season. Not much point having decent backs and no pack.
