The former Leeds Rhinos man was one of the few players to impress for Tigers last term. He will probably start at centre, but can also cover full-back or in the halves and, at 23, is only going to get better.placeholder image

Most Betfred Super League squads have strengthened ahead of next week’s opening round, setting the scene for an exciting campaign as Wigan Warriors defend their title.

Big names - including ex-St Helens prop Luke Thompson, former Australia and New South Wales pivot Matt Moylan and New Zealand international back Peta Hiku have joined the competition from the NRL and there have been some big domestically. Here we pick out one key player from all 12 Super League teams.

The former Cronulla Sharks man has more than 190 NRL appearances to his name and has also played for Australia and New South Wales. His combination with half-back partner Lachlan Lam will be crucial to Leigh’s hopes of building on an impressive season last year.

The new IMG era means the newly-promoted side are already effectively doomed to relegation and they, wisely, haven’t spent big money trying to dodge the inevitable. Winger Kershaw, who spent time training with Leeds earlier this year, was a smart pick up as a free agent after leaving Wakefield Trinity.

Man of Steel a decade ago when he was at Castleford, hooker Clark has big boots to fill having moving from Warrington Wolves to succeed Super League legend James Roby. Still only 30, he is vastly experienced and has more to offer.

With stand-off Brodie Croft and hooker Andy Ackers both now at Leeds, there will be a lot of responsibility on the ex-Castleford and Hull FC half-back, now partnered with ex-Wigan play-maker Cade Cust.

If it’s going to be their year, Warrington will need a big season from the England half-back. He showed good signs last term after a slow start to his Wolves career and they'll go well if he does.

The former St Helens and Canterbury Bulldogs prop is an eye-catching addition to an already high-quality squad. He should be a leader for some of Wigan’s younger forwards.
