I think it is very difficult to call. Top 5: Leeds have lost a lot of leadership and experience but still have a very good squad. Wigan's young side are all a year older and with Tomkins returning to add a bit more class could be very strong. St Helens look strong from 1 to 17 but have little cover in the backs. Both Huddersfield and Warrington have made a few good signings.
Mid table: I expect Castleford to do well again, a bit like Wigan whoever they loose the team seems good enough to cover it, Hull have made good signings and could be a force (how many times has that been said though), Hull KR and Catalan have decent squads, Catalan on paper look very strong but I'm not sure about the coach.
Bottom 3: Salford, Wakefield and Widnes. They don't look to be in the same class as the other 9.
A lot of course will depend on injuries as they always have a bearing.
St Helens
Leeds
Huddersfield
Wigan
Warrington
Castleford
Catalan
Hull
Hull KR
Salford
Wakefield
Widnes
I'm expecting one or two surprises this year, I think it may be very interesting.
