Going to be a fascinating league to watch. Both promoted teams are well placed to challenge at the higher end of the table and, with only 21 points separating 3rd and 10th, it really is anyone's league for the taking. A couple of good bits of recruitment could make all the difference.

Expecting a lot of new faces and signings. Some teams already announcing on their social pages.

Going to be a tough league.

Too early for next seasons predictions?

I'm sure it's going to be a cracker of a season. Arguably a stronger league compare to this season with no clear favourite and no team noticeably weaker than the rest.

Seems Morley are active and shouting the loudest. Must be favourites if social media is anything to go by.

Always worth checking out RNE1 teams and local Nat 2 teams on their social media to see who they have picked up. Heath have been very active and Huddersfield are not far behind.Looking at Morley's social media, I can see they have signed two youngsters and announced several of last years players resigning for the season. So I don't see where the "favourites" tag comes from. Also appears they have been raided by Heath and Huddersfield and have lost a couple. Salem have announced a new signing and several players resigning. No news on the rugby league stars yet. Cleckheaton are announcing plenty of players resigning and must be one of the favourites for promotion. Although I think they have been raided by Heath as well. Not seen much from the other clubs in the league. Looks like crocs will be trying to bounce straight back up with a new head coach from Huddersfield and a rumour that Billy Hammond is also returning. They have also lost a player to Heath! Early days yet and no doubt there will be many conversations / negotiations ongoing ! I think the league will be much tougher this coming season.
