Not for me. Sheffield are more balanced and stronger over all. 

Swindon will face some battles at home and pick up few away wins.

Going to be very close!!! everyone of the below could be argued the other IMO 

Doyle vs Pedersen = Doyle 

Batch vs Holder = Holder 

Jensen vs Graj = Jensen 

Ellis vs Lawson = Ellis (In the championship id say Lawson) 

Perks vs Howarth = Howarth 

Rowe vs Morris = Morris 

Stewart vs Kurtz = Stewart 

That's who I tgink will have the better season of the two but im not confident in any of it to be honest

The Swindon top four should score at least 40 every week at home and 36 away, so 10 from the three man tail should be the target.

My worry is that there will be plenty of matches where Rowe scores 0.

If Stewart or Perks doesn’t kick on and become a solid five pointer, Swindon will be fighting for fourth.

That's not unreasonable. There's going to be a lot of pressure on Stewart and Perks.

Sheffield look decent but Swindon look quite a way ahead of them on paper, I have my doubts about Pedersen taking into account his age and time away from the UK and their reserves don’t convince me although accept many reserves won’t look great to start with. 

Sheffield look good for the top four but Swindon are the best on paper without doubt unless anybody else pulls rabbits out if the hat, can’t see it though.

I don't think either team has a tail which tail will do much wagging, I would prefer a more balanced team personally.

I think Holder will have a better season than Batch yes... not sure that's a massively out there prediction to be honest but as I said im not confident in it as I honestly think every single prediction I made could go the other way fairly comfortably

In my opinion Steve,  Wolves could be better with a more balanced team.

IF we are looking at similar teams to this season then Wolves will still be strong but would be outclassed by Swindon just like the play offs.

IF it’s Masters And Thorssell as the last 2 then it’s well under the points limit despite looking solid and improvement throughout.

However if Wolves have pulled off a top rider at number one that could make us front runners tho.

Bang on!! I don't think there will be much in it for Swindon and Sheffield. 

Me personally, I would say Graj over Jensen due to Josh having Owlerton as his home track and think he will increase his average because of that. But definitely not much in it.

You could argue either way for any of the match ups above. However, wouldn't be surprised at all if Sheffield comfortably beat Swindon at home and vice versa.

Cant wait!

The opposite in my view, both sides i believe will be good at home away like this year Swindon worst scenario can score 42 points and at least get a bonus point.Sheffield away i think could be vulnerable certainly at reserve and i don't see them having the same  no 6/7 all season .Wolves also will have a team like they always  do,  IF they could get Pawlicki they would be the side to beat also they have a fresh look with Douglas,Becker,Nicol, who will be longterm  improvers.

Huge risk going 2 points under the limit and that looks to be the case.

It's solid but you are now totally reliant on people upping there averages.

Dangerous game to play and imo just not enough firepower in that team.

However given the split we will see in the league this season you will comfortably make the play offs.

We can already pick the top 4, before a wheel is turned
