It is a good looking and competitive Championship, the usual suspects Poole, Oxford and Glasgow will no doubt be up there, all 3 look strong.
Edinburgh have a strong looking reserve pair (believe Loftus will be one of the best signings on his average)
Plymouth strong top 2, plus Klima at reserve should clean up (if he turns up every week)
Redcar don’t look as strong as last year, can’t see that side being a play off team. But they do have a very strong reserve pair.
Likewise with Berwick they’ll be competitive especially at home, but will probably fall short of the play offs.
Scunthorpe do look weak, but I’d imagine once they make changes once Pickering’s average drops they might become more competitive away.
Workington have the best looking side since we’ve relaunched. Should be miles more competitive away from home in 2026, and I’m confident we can take that 4th spot again.
