Head coach: Lee Radford.

Last season: Seventh in regular season, Challenge Cup runners-up.

What they're saying: "I've enjoyed it. I was worried leading up to it because I wasn't getting that excited feeling and I was beginning to question if I'd made the right decision. But when I got back into it, it came pretty quickly and they're a good group of individuals to be around on a daily basis."

What they're saying: "Before the new signings, I think what has improved is we've got a lot of young players who have gained some really valuable experience from last year. We had a great season by our standards [in 2021] and did some things we've not done before, but we had a lot of young players - particularly French lads - who got the chance and Steve won't hesitate to put those in again."
