Jamie Peacock's club-by-club guide to the new Betfred Super League season
The Betfred Super League season launches again this week with 12 clubs bidding for success.
Mirror Sport columnist Jamie Peacock looks at each team's prospects, the key figures involved and young players to look out for before giving his predictions for the three main titles in 2022.
Here's his take on what is, once again, expected to be a fantastic season...
Great to see Lee Radford back in the game and it’s going to be interesting to see the next version of Cas after Daryl Powell. I think they’ll be mid table and challenge for a play-off spot.
Jake Trueman - if Radford can get the best out of him the Tigers can fire.
Alex Sutcliffe - Old school hard-hitting forward, will be good to see how he progresses.

Made last year’s Grand Final and have made some quality signings in Mitchell Pearce, Dylan Napa and Tyrone May. Mixing quality young French players with NRL stars is a formula that’s working for Steve McNamara.
Mitchell Pearce - If they’re going to win the Grand Final this time Aussie is key.
Matthieu Laguerre - Saw flashes of brilliance from him in 2021, more to come.

Ian Watson’s second season and he’s now got the key players he wants in his spine positions of six, seven, nine and one. Another team that will be challenging for one of the bottom play-off spots.
Tui Lolohea - At his best he will win the Giants games, he needs that to be more often than not.
Will Pryce - Burst onto the scene last year, exciting to watch and possible World Cup bolter.

Lost the city bragging rights to Hull KR last year and a team with high exception and some work to do. Should be fighting for fifth and sixth spots but can’t see them
